Cleaning the Fiddly Bits of Radiators

I wonder if you could tape a bottle brush on the end of an un-bent coathanger?

I would go with the bit-of-duster-on-wire-coathanger-suggestion.

You are all without a doubt brilliant Thank you so much for that I am now going in search of a coathanger ,I may have to borrow one from DD as all of mine are wooden or padded.Don't get a lot of stuff dry-cleaned if I can help it .Normally I can get stuff in the washing machine, and when I get my winter coats cleaned in the late spring I have always left the hangers behind as I always thing they pull clothes out of shape a bit.Still brilliant ideas.That's the trouble with a bit of sun you start noticing the 'dusty bits' from the winter

perhaps a hairdryer on high would blow the dust out? Not tried it though!

I have a tool I bought years ago, think it was from Betterware but not sure, just a big bit of metal with a slim loo-style soft bristle brush thingy on the end. Otherwise metal coathanger idea is fab!!

Yes, I've got one of the Betterware ones too - I found it's really good for getting the ungetatable bits of fluff out of the tumble dryer door too (the only other way is to spend ages undoing fiddly screws and doing then up again afterwards. And of course it's good for radiators too

I use one of those imitation feather dusters that were all the rage a few years ago - a bit like one of Ken Dodd's Tickling Sticks

Jackie my Mum bought me a brush just for this, its like a bottle brush but with a very long metal handle, i`ll bet one of the larger sized bottle brushes will do the job just fine.

I have one of those special brushes too. They cost about £10.

Put some newspaper or a dust sheet under the radiator before using it.

Hi Jackieo:hello:

My you're a busy lady today! I have learnt something new myself today

There is a thread already, and I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together
