  • We've got dust inside the radiator, between the fins. How does the missus get it out?

    I've tried the usual hit with a hammer approach but she swears blind she cannot get the dust out.

  • Turn house upside down and shake.

  • A long strip of wet cloth, a cut up old towel works well. Put it down the back of the radiator, hold it at top and bottom and wiggle it. Rinse and repeat.

    Last time I did this I found a sock down the back of one radiator that had been there since before we bought the flat (coming up 8 years now).

    Alternatively, wait until you overhaul the central heating (at some point I want to put in thermostatic radiator valves) and then do them all properly then.

    Just have a hoover handy, especially if the heating's on or you get a nice plume of dust deposited across the entire room.
