Hello StephenZheng,

I understand you would like to know how to clean the fans inside of your MacBook Pro. I'm happy to provide you with some information on this.

Since cleaning the fan would require you to open up your MacBook Pro, it is not recommended that you do so yourself. If there is an issue with your fans that require your Mac to be opened, it's best you bring it to either an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can locate a store using this link: Find Locations - Apple.

If you believe your fans may need to be cleaned because they are running loudly, take a look at this support article: About fans and fan noise in your Apple product. You may also find these support articles helpful as well:

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care.
