The UK's festive shopping spree has wrapped up, but households remain in the grip of exorbitant energy bills as they crank up their heating to fend off the winter chill. Amidst these tough times, Tap Warehouse's cleaning expert Nancy Emery has dished out advice, encouraging people to ensure their radiators function at peak efficiency. A clean heating system can chip away about 25 per cent from Brits' annual heat expenditures, offering savings up to £225, consumer watchdog Which? suggests.
Nancy advises: "One of the quickest ways to make your heating more efficient is to keep radiators clean and dust free. The dust and dirt that collects on them over time not only looks unsightly but can also affect the efficiency and heat output.". She warns of the importance of regular radiator maintenance, saying: "It's important to regularly clean your radiator to ensure it is heating up as it should, but also to prevent mould and damp forming on walls, around radiator pipes and around windows and doors.".
By keeping radiators devoid of grime and dust, they warm up effectively without working overtime, saving precious pennies on those daunting heating bills - a benefit all can appreciate. When it comes to giving your radiator a thorough clean, many of us miss the crucial spots like the inside and behind, not just the surface. Cleaning whizz Nancy has revealed her top tips for tackling this often overlooked task.
