Experts at Trade Radiators explained: \u201cCleaning radiators not only enhances their appearance but also significantly improves heating efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy removing accumulated dirt, dust and grime, you can ensure that your heating system operates at its best, providing consistent warmth in every room.\u201d<\/p>\n

To simplify the chore, one content creator has shared a tool that’s perfectly designed to reach the parts of your radiators that are most likely harbouring dust.<\/p>\n

According to Matt Powell, who goes by @mattpowell05 on TikTok, using a cleaning brush on your radiator could save you precious energy.<\/p>\n

Showing off his cleaning gadget in a clip, Powell demonstrated how sliding it down the middle of the radiator can remove clumps of dust that absorb heat.<\/p>\n

His video was posted along with the tags #moneysaving #winter #costofliving #centralheating and #radiator.<\/p>\n

Radiator cleaning brushes retail for just \u00a37.99 on Amazon, while Lakeland sells a microfibre version of the tool for just \u00a39.99, while Temu offers them for as little as \u00a32.02.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The hack racked up more than 154,000 likes and several hundred comments from mesmerised viewers.<\/p>\n

To avoid letting the dust create a mess once it’s fallen out of the radiator, one viewer proposed: \u201cPut some kitchen roll or a puppy pad or paper or something below the radiator before your start for easy cleanup.\u201d<\/p>\n

To make the task easier, another viewer proposed dismantling the top grill of the radiator. She wrote: \u201cYou can pop the sides and top bit off those radiators pretty easily.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who can\u2019t get their hands on the handy gadget, an alternative hack was proposed by one savvy viewer.<\/p>\n
