    Hi
    Can someone recommend a good radiator brush for cleaning the dust from the inside of the radiator. My radiators have a small grill on top (the last time I used a hanger and it was painstakingly slow!).
    Any ideas of a decent radiator brush and where I can buy one would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Slick.

    Take the grill off. It pops out.

    Some of them rads have removable grills, for cleaning - have you tried?

    yeah I did that before - I've radiators that you have to unscrew the side panels to get the top grill off. I don't mind taking of the grill - but I still need a brush to clean the inside holes?? not sure what the inside area is called.

    A bottle brush (for babies bottles) with a makeshift longer handle made by straightening a wire hanger.

    Do it in late summer/autumn before you turn the heating on full blast again.

    Ah gotcha, you want to clean in between the baffles. Tricky i would imagine. If you have an electric air pump, it might be worth a shot giving it a blast of that.
