Dust, sticky residue, and stains accumulate on radiators. Even with regular cleaning, these appliances often go unnoticed.
First, you need to remove dust and debris. A vacuum cleaner with a flat nozzle that can reach into the gaps between the sections is suitable for this. An alternative option is to use a hairdryer, placing a damp cloth behind the radiator to 'catch' the rising particles.
After dry cleaning, proceed to wet treatment. For the cleaning solution, dissolve a teaspoon of liquid soap in a liter of room temperature water, add two tablespoons of baking soda and a tablespoon of table vinegar, then mix everything thoroughly. Use the solution to dampen a soft cloth and wipe the external surfaces of the radiator. For cleaning the internal walls of the sections, use an old toothbrush, a bottle brush, or a special brush designed for radiators.
It is important to remove dust because it accumulates allergens, bacteria, and microparticles that irritate the respiratory tract and skin. Regular cleaning reduces the risk of allergies and simply makes the home more comfortable and safer to live in.
