A removable fan cover for use during storage or a non-operative period of time of an electric fan having a motor shaft connected to a fan blade structure, comprising:

• a protective cover having a front member and a back member;
• each of said front and back members made of flexible machine-washable material and having peripheral edges, a semi-spherical shape, and being dimensioned and configured to cover the fan blade structure;
• an elongated band member made of flexible machine-washable material joining said front and back peripheral edges together and forming a housing for substantially enclosing the fan blade structure therein;
• said back member being bifurcated by an elongated vertically-positioned slit extending substantially the length of a diametrical length of said back member;
• said slit having an upper portion, a lower portion and a median portion between said upper portion and said lower portion;
• and,
• first fastener means associated with said upper portion and second fastener means associated with said lower portion for securing said slit together;
• said median portion of said slit forming a slot for a passageway of the fan motor shaft;
• said first and second fastener means being operative during closure of said fan cover around the fan blade structure;
• whereby said fan cover is maintained in a firm and snug relationship around the fan blade structure during storage or a non-operative period of time, and protects the fan blade structure from dust, dirt and moisture accumulation.
