How to Use a Leaf Blower Indoors on Cobwebs

Leaf blowers can be used for many tasks, from outdoor cleanup to indoor cobweb-removal. The lightweight electric-powered kind will lend itself best to the task of indoor cobweb elimination, since this task necessitates ease of movement as you lift the blower to point it at the webs on ceilings or furniture. The beauty of a leaf blower is it is powerful enough to rid your home of hard-to-reach webs--the kind that can sometimes cover your entire ceiling or wood furniture in a fine mesh and be sticky and difficult to remove, especially if there is any texture to the surface they cling to.

• 1

  Identify the areas of your home with hard-to-remove cobwebs, such as high ceilings or wood surfaces where the webs might be meshed between wood grain, or other nooks and crannies.

• 2

  Put into a box for safekeeping any items which might be harmed by the power of a leaf blower. Items like loose papers, a pet's water bowl or small nick-nacks should be placed in this box and removed from the area you plan to blow.

• 3

  Plug an extension cord into a wall outlet and into the leaf blower. Point the blower at the area that needs cleaning before turning it on, to ensure other areas of your home are not disrupted by the force of the blower.

• 4

  Turn on the blower and tilt it against the surface covered in webs, running in a methodical pattern up and down the surface as if operating a vacuum cleaner, to destroy the webs.

• 5

  Step on a step-stool if necessary to get the nose of the blower into deep cracks, crevices or other areas of your home with hard-to-reach webs.

• 6

  Repeat this process monthly to control spider webs.
