The invention belongs to the technical field of equipment cleaning, and discloses a cleaning method for a fan, which comprises the following steps: S1, blocking a low-end interface of the fan; s2, injecting a sodium hydroxide solution with a first concentration value into the fan until the solution submerges a rotor of the fan; s3, keeping for a first time; s4, detecting the concentration of the cleaned mixed solution; s5, if the concentration value is not greater than the qualified concentration value, emptying the fan cavity, and then repeating the steps S2-S4, otherwise, carrying out the next step; s6, a cavity of the fan is emptied, and the fan is washed with water; s7, washing is kept for the second time; s8, detecting the pH value of the low-end interface solution; s9, if the pH value is greater than the qualified pH value, repeating the steps S7-S8; otherwise, fan flushing is completed. According to the dirt removing method for the fan, impurities such as tar and dust on the rotor of the fan can be removed, operation is easy and convenient, the removing efficiency is high, and the effect is good.
