Knowing how to clean the radiator can ensure that these features of your home are as free of dust and dirt as other surfaces. Cleaning radiators should be part of your management, because they tend to accumulate dust, which is unhealthy for household residents. Dust coverage will also reduce their work efficiency.
Indeed, if you have different types of radiators to heat your home, due to their design, they may present challenges in terms of cleaning. Dust and debris can also easily get inside some designs, so you may be wondering what is the correct way to clean them thoroughly from the inside out-no need to hire an expert.
We are here to provide you with all the answers and expert tips on tools and techniques, regardless of the style of the radiator in your home.
The first thing to know when cleaning a radiator is to pay attention both inside and outside. However, you can successfully remove the dust and debris by yourself.
It is important to turn off the radiator and let it cool down before starting cleaning. Note that if you have observed cold spots on the radiator before, it may be time to learn how to bleed the radiator.
Luke Hamel of Hamel's Air Conditioning & Heating in San Diego explains: “Turning them off will make them safer and prevent them from accumulating dust when you are cleaning.” Putting a towel or dust cloth under the radiator can also catch dust.
To clean the radiator thoroughly, you need to use a vacuum cleaner. First vacuum around and under the radiator.
Next, use the top of the vacuum cleaner to remove the dust here, and then move it to the sides and bottom of the radiator. "You need to make sure to remove as much dust as possible on/inside the radiator," says Chris Harvey, Stelrad's central heating expert.
When choosing a radiator for your home, you may have chosen a finned design. To clean the radiator fins, first notice that you need to work gently. Nick Tandy, Toasti's chief engineer, said: "You should always be careful when cleaning the radiator fins because they are very fragile."
If your radiator has a top grill, you need to remove it to clean the inside. “Generally speaking, the top grill is fixed by the side panels,” explains Edward Jones, founder and CEO of HomeCareHow. 'You can loosen the side panels with both hands and then loosen the grill. Keep the grill in a safe place out of the reach of children or pets.
You may have a special vacuum cleaner tool that allows you to remove dust between the heat sinks. Or, you can buy a radiator cleaning brush. Something long and flexible like the Holikme radiator duster is a sound budget-friendly option and easy to operate. As another option, you can use a ruler or other stick and stick a microfiber cloth on it with Scotch.
Gently use a tool between each heat sink to push dust and debris out of the heat sink. Use the same method to clean the back of the radiator.
You may not have completed the interior completely, because there is often some dust left here and behind. At this time the hair dryer comes in handy. The towel or dust cloth is still placed under the radiator, and the more powerful setting of the blower is used to guide the air to the inside and back of the radiator to blow away the dust.
To complete the cleaning process, take a bucket of warm soapy water and use it to moisten (but do not soak) the sponge or cloth. The cloth or sponge should be soft-never use abrasive materials on the radiator. Wipe the outside of the radiator.
When finished, use a microfiber cloth to dry the exterior.
You may also want to check around the radiator. "Check the surrounding area and the boards to make sure there is no dust on them," Luke Hamel suggested. "Wipe them as needed and pay attention to the walls, because dirt and dust will stick to the walls."
