Cleaning radiators will make them heat more efficiently

Turn off the radiator and wait until it cools down. This is important because cleaning the hot radiator is dangerous and less effective. Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow tip to remove dust and cobwebs from the outside and inside the radiator. Particular attention pay to the spaces between the ribs. Prepare a bowl of warm water and add a little delicate detergent. Dip the microfiber cloth in water, squeeze it and wipe the radiator surface. Rinse the cloth regularly in clean water so as not to smudge dirt. If the radiator is difficult to remove dirt, you can use a water solution with vinegar (1: 1). Spray the dirty places with a solution and leave for a few minutes, then wipe with a cloth. After washing the radiator, wipe it with a dry microfiber cloth to remove the remains of water and detergent.
In the case of rib radiators, it is particularly important to clean the space between the ribs. You can use a brush for bottles or cosmetic sticks for this purpose.
In turn, plate heaters are easier to clean because they have a smooth surface. Just wipe them with a damp cloth with a detergent.
