I use a flexible radiator brush and hold a vacuum next to it to catch the dust, how do you clean yours? Thanks for watching 👍

Couldn't have cleaned mine without your video - should've measured the difference in temperature as I was able to remove a vacuum full of dust and dog hair (none of it mine🤢)! Thank you! 👍

I'm so happy it helped, I know what you mean, it's pretty grim what gets stuck in these 😁

I'd leave the top cover off it seems pointless. I've got a few radiators with covers and they have a screw underneath the side panels that lets them move up just enough to release the top cover.

I did suggest leaving them off, it didn't go well.🤣 They come off easy and it's only once a year 👍

what size radiators are those ?
@50plusdad-uk 7 ай бұрын
It's a triple 1600mm, that's the downside of heat pumps you need more surface area because the temps are lower, especially in older houses.
