What is the best way to clean fans?

Depends how thorough you want to be. A blast with compressed air duster will get really thick dust off. If you want them cleaner than that, personally I carefully wipe both side of each fan blade with a soft cloth to remove the dust that sticks to their surface.
 
Thanks, would this really get them clean, to look rear new?
ive tried before but they always still have a dirty look even after a clean
 
compressed air to remove the main build up. but the air won't remove surface level dust, for that you want to use isopropanol pads
 
I just use cleaning wipes - works a treat. Not sure if it's the best way, but it's working fine for me so far and it's much cheaper/more effective than Iso Alcohol
 
I have occasionally taken mine out of the case and cleaned manually with a cloth, painful process when you have your cable management setup but they look great afterwards.
Now i have an electric blower, I can see if that makes things easier next timer round.
