An incredible question. The answer being that I rest my laptop beside my couch when I'm not using it for the most part. Now, that's not a huge issue, but I have a dog and the fan for a Toshiba A105 Satellite isn't all that big. So, a bit of hair and dust can go a long way to make the fan a lot more noisy.
That and it had been exposed to two years of dog hair and dust.

It helps (this goes for all computers and laptops alike) to once in a while hook up an airgun to a compressor and blow the fans or even better, the cases out. We do this two to three times per year and it does help reduce in noise and longivity of our hardware.

Yeah. I am, for the most part, hardware savvy. It just didn't hit me to clean out my fan from time to time. That'll become a semesterly thing, though, 'specially given that I'm going to be purchasing a new rig fairly soon.

I bought a new rig last year with extra fans, while this keeps it quiet and cool it does suck up a lot of extra dust.

Hmm, yeah I might have to switch a fan around some time.

How do you go about cleaning the dust out of a laptop fan? I've had mine for two years and haven't done so; it tends to run a bit warm as a default.

Disengage everything, get a can of compressed air and use that to blow out the fan, slots, inserts and whatnots.
If the heat remains and warrenty is void just get a small screw driver and open the casing, or at least the part where the fan is, most laptops allow for that and blow it clean with compressed air.

Alright, I'll see about doing that as soon as I see compressed air in a store. It's always run a bit warm, not sure whether that's result of dust or not; it's never had any performance issues due to it.

It helps to perform this action once every six months and I've been told that cans of compressed air are the way to go, avoid using compressors.

Lord...
In the past 72 hours, I have been to a musical festival and to my school's prom. My neck is currently so tight that I have to move my shoulders to look more than 45 degrees off of the center of my vision. My back is aching from all the standing. I have a split lip, courtesy of an elbow in a mosh pit. I have a black eye, and I don't know why. I wrenched my knee at after prom so badly that I felt it pop all through my body. It hurts to the point that I can't get it fully straight.
Aaaaah, it's been a hell of a few days. ^^

No. Nothing at all. I'm dead serious about that, too.
