How To Clean House Radiators
Home radiators are one of the many to-do cleaning tasks when keeping on top of your house cleaning, which can be a frustrating and time-consuming task, as a result of this radiators are the one thing in the house that we never consider cleaning!
Clean radiators look more attractive and not only that, but they also function more efficiently when clean.
Did You Know?
Radiators need the fins and behind the radiator clean to be effective. If the fins are dirty and dusty your boiler will have to work harder to keep the system warm.
As you can see from the pictures below – you can clearly see the build of dust that has been collected
The easiest way to keep your radiators clean is to dust and clean them periodically.
Steps Needed To Clean Your Radiators
- Switch off your radiators and let them cool down.
- To clean the dust away, it is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner or a radiator cleaning brush – but this method only recirculates the dust back into the atmosphere.
For those radiators that are cleaned in this current conventional method of using a radiator brush, this has to be repeatedly pushed down the radiator between the grilles and convectors down the back and in between the radiators.
The static in the brush removes the dust but the brush will push dust out of the bottom of the convectors that disperse in the air – which is not ideal for people with dust allergies, such as Asthma!
