Dirt makes the radiator less efficient, so it’s important to keep it clean and running well.
Cleanwithabbi is the account that posted the idea.
In thevideoAbbi first removes the side and top covers on her radiator.
They basically just snap off.
She then takes them to the sink towashthem separately with dish soap.
Next, she puts a bucket beneath the radiator and begins to pour water through it from the top.
All the dust bunnies and dirt flows out with the water into the bucket below.
you could see Abbi mopping up around and beneath the bucket several times throughout the process.
And you might want to think about protecting the wall behind the radiator too against water splashing.
One idea is to tape a piece of cardboard to that space, according toEveryday Old House.
It’s worth it to avoid finding dirty water splashed somewhere later on.
Also, don’t forget to look underneath the radiator before you begin the process of taking it apart.
