Place the dryer against the radiator. You can clean it in just a few moments
Regular cleaning of the radiator does not only have a positive effect. It turns out that a dirty item consumes more energy, and therefore bills are higher – sometimes by as much as 25 percent. Instead of paying more, solve the problem quickly. Although the construction of the radiator makes cleaning difficult and you won’t be able to reach all the nooks and crannies with a cloth, you can get by using a regular hair dryer. What exactly should you do?
- Turn off the heater and wait until it is cold.
- Place the dryer nozzle against the radiator grill and set the maximum blow power.
- Spread a damp old towel on the floor (it will catch all the dirt).
- Turn on the dryer and watch all the dust and dirt come out and settle on the fabric.
How to reduce heating bills? Try home remedies
In addition to the dryer trick, it is also worth using other home remedies that will help reduce heating bills. What exactly should you do?
- Pay attention to the furniture. They should not cover the radiator and should be at least 15 centimeters away from the radiator. Thanks to this, they will not retain heat and it will spread more easily around the room.
- Pay attention to the curtains. Do not cover the radiator with them, which will work similarly to furniture. If you cover it, the heat will be directed towards the wall, making the house feel cold.
