radiator cleaning brush

does anyone know where I can get a brush for cleaning in the slots of a radiator?

Could do with it being a high street shop if possible as was gonna do the lovely job tomorrow.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

    We use these things. You can pick them up from Home & Bargain or B&M type shops etc:

    Thanks but they are to wide. The slots at the top are only about 1.5 cm wide, need something a lot thinner.
    thanks

    Do you mean you have a slotted grill thingy on the top of your radiators? If so the grill is easily removed for cleaning.

    I think OP is referring to the fins on the back of the radiator panel lots of dust collecting tubes. Maybe a huge bottle brush would work.

    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    It has got the slotted grill but it wont remove believe me I have tried.

    Bought some baby bottle cleaners today to give them a go, they do the top.

    Was talking to a neighbour about it and she got hers from a betterware rep. Nice of her to let me borrow it, feel ashamed of the dust coming off them:o

    Thanks for your replies.

    I found the top grill difficult to move at first, but after a blast of WD40 it came off easy as pie. Tell me about the dust and gunge down inside - yuk!
