How to clean radiators without water: the most effective methods to remove dust

Fit the thin or brush nozzle.

Gently pass between the fins and along the surface.

For tight corners, use the flexible nozzle or a soft brush to dislodge the dust and vacuum it.

Practical tip: move the vacuum cleaner slowly so as not to disperse the dust into the air.

2. Use of microfiber cloths

Microfiber cloths are ideal for capturing dust without water:

Wear cloth gloves.

Fold the cloth and insert it between the flaps of the radiator.

Move the cloth back and forth to remove dust.

For the outer surface, wipe the piping and vertical parts around it.

3. Radiator brushes

Thin, flexible brushes reach the tightest of spaces:

Insert the brush between the lugs.

Brush gently in all directions.

Collect the dust on a cloth or vacuum it immediately afterwards.

Note: Some brushes have silicone or nylon bristles, which reduce static electricity and make it easier to collect dust.

Electrostatic gloves are very practical:

Put on gloves and gently rub the surfaces of the radiator.

The dust will adhere to the gloves and can be removed easily.

Wash gloves after each session.

5. Anti-static or electrostatic spray

Anti-static sprays help reduce future dust build-up:

Lightly spray the product onto a microfiber cloth.

Wipe the surfaces of the radiator.

Avoid direct contact with internal metal parts.

6. Creative Methods for Tricky Corners
Flexible straws or tubes: useful for blowing dust away from the narrowest crevices.

Small paint brushes: allow you to reach the internal fins without damaging the paint.

Portable battery-powered vacuum cleaners: perfect for high or inaccessible radiators.

Regular Cleaning: Frequency and Benefits
Cleaning radiators without water should become a routine:

Monthly: Removal of surface dust with cloth or gloves.

Quarterly: more thorough cleaning with vacuum cleaners and brushes.

Annual: general inspection of the radiator, removal of internal dust and verification of the paint.

Benefits of regular cleaning:

Increased heating efficiency.
