The radiator , an essential component of home heating, accumulates dust and dirt over time which could also affect its functioning.
At this point, the radiator could prove very difficult to clean, but not if you use Marseille soap as a natural and powerful ally against dirt!
Today I will tell you everything you need to know about how to clean the radiator inside and out with Marseille soap so that not only will it be as good as new, but it will also perfume the entire room.
Before starting
Carrying out a deep cleaning of the radiator is not difficult, however before starting it is important to take some actions in order to optimize it as much as possible.
First, moisten 2 microfibre cloths , then place one under and one behind the radiator . Then take a duster and remove all the dust.
If you can’t remove it internally, you can help yourself with a hairdryer or a vacuum cleaner , you will have to put them on medium speed and heat (in the case of the hairdryer), keeping yourself at a safe distance.
Once the dust is gone, cleaning will be very easy!
Stains away
Once the radiator is free of dust, we tackle the annoying stains that can compromise the appearance.
Marseille soap, with its degreasing and cleaning properties, proves to be an excellent ally for this task. Wet a soft sponge and grate a block of Marseille soap over it , then gently rub the stains.
Repeat the step several times if necessary until you no longer have the slightest trace of stain, they will dissolve without damaging the surface of your radiator.
If the stains are particularly stubborn, you will also need to add some baking soda and it will be perfect!

For the interior
In addition to external cleaning, it is essential to pay attention to the inside of the radiator , which is the longest and most annoying part of the steps.
Precisely for this reason I will tell you how to use the jug method , fantastic for removing all the dirt from inside the radiator!
NB Before carrying out this method, place a basin under the radiator to collect all the water.
Then prepare a mixture of warm water and Marseille soap by placing 2 tablespoons in 500 ml , transfer everything into a jug and delicately pour the solution inside the radiator pipes to dissolve any residual dirt or limescale accumulations.
Leave to act for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water . This procedure will not only clean the inside of your radiator, but will also help maintain even heat distribution!
Goodbye rust
Rust is one of the most common enemies of radiators , especially in areas with high humidity.
Also in this case, Marseille soap proves to be a valid help in this battle against dirt. Take a soft bristle brush and dip it in a solution of 1 tablespoon grated soap diluted in 2 glasses of water .
Rub very delicately to remove every last trace of rust, then rinse and dry carefully.
To perfume for a long time
As already mentioned before, in addition to its effectiveness in cleaning, Marseille soap adds a pleasant touch of freshness to the environment .
After completing the cleaning of the radiator, let the device dry and, if desired, wipe a microfibre cloth soaked in water with a rub on it and wipe it over the external surface.
As it heats up, the fragrance of the soap will be felt throughout the house and will remain for a long time!
An alternative to perfume is also to fill the dehumidifier and put some soap flakes inside.
