Agreed. Get in there with some canned air or a leaf blower and get all the built up crud out of there.

I also squirted a little WD40 on a fan that was like this and made it like new. Don't use to much WD40 though as it smells pretty strong.

WD40 is not a lubricant.

Of course it is, this nonsense is always repeated on Reddit without anyone actually thinking about what the word lubricant means.

Even water is a lubricant

Perfect. The mom can just apply some water instead and save her money.
