My ceiling fan wobbles after I clean it. What can I do to fix it?

When a ceiling fan begins wobbling immediately after you clean it, the issue is typically caused by a blade bracket getting accidentally bent out of alignment while wiping, or because cleaning fluid and damp cloths left uneven moisture or residue on the blades. First, ensure safety by turning off the wall switch. Second, check each blade bracket to ensure none were bent during the cleaning process and gently bend them back into alignment if necessary. Third, ensure all blades are thoroughly dry and that no blade screws loosened during wiping. You can troubleshoot balance issues easily by inspecting blade alignment. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when running the fan confirms that straightening misaligned brackets and ensuring uniform dryness eliminates the wobble entirely.
