Prepare the solution: Pour a spoonful of lemon juice and a little baking soda into a glass of water.
Apply this mixture to your radiators using a clean cloth.
Rinse and let dry.
And There you go! Your radiators are clean, cleaned and ready to be used again. As a bonus, you will have the pleasant surprise of smelling a fresh, lemony smell as soon as you turn them on.
One more tip: for very effective cleaning, you can also alternate with this other product. It consists of using a spoonful of white vinegar, to which you can also add the same quantity of alcohol and a liter of water. In this way, the radiators will be perfectly degreased and free of any dirt.
Other intelligent possibilities for optimizing heating
Even in the middle of winter, ventilation is necessary to reduce toxins and possible allergies due to dust mites and mold. It is therefore necessary to ventilate the rooms briefly but intensively in the morning and evening. It is recommended to open the windows wide, let enough fresh air into the room and close them after a few minutes. Such a technique is much more advantageous than leaving the window open longer.
Have you ever thought about bleeding your radiators? Sometimes we turn them on without realizing that they are not working properly. If the radiator heats poorly, even at maximum temperature, it probably means there is air inside. To bleed a radiator, it’s very simple: just turn the small screw at the top of the device. With a screwdriver you quickly solve the problem. The compressed air inside can escape easily.
It goes without saying, but it would obviously be wiser to close the bedroom doors to keep the heat inside. Know that it is always much easier to heat a small room than a large room. If you leave the door open, warm air from the room escapes into the cooler hallway. This gives the impression that the room is not heated enough and you will be tempted to increase the temperature a little. And to think that a simple common sense gesture can reduce the bill!
