Usually, 1970s radiators aren’t difficult to clean, they will often be easier to maintain as the pipes can be hoovered as they are open, without a cover. It’s essential you do keep your old style radiators free from dusk so they can work as efficiently as possible. Like most radiators, old fashioned radiators can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Always go for soft clothes so you don’t scratch off any of the paint on your old style radiators.
