Mine don't seem to get salt buildup on them. They only get a bit of dust on them.

I cleaned them when I first go it. I haven't cleaned mine since... but I am going to now though. You can pull the individual fans out of the plastic case and clean them easier. Just watch when you pull them out so you put them back in the right way.

The fans tend to collect salt residue, it then gradually builds up and calcifies to the fan. The fan then brush up against the casing and one always burns out over time. They are close to impossible to clean and maintain I find.. Do you clean yours frequently or not at all?
