Hey savvy shoppers and budget masters! As we all feel the chill and crank up our heaters, it's high time we talk about slashing those hefty heating bills. Did you know a simple act of cleaning your radiator could be your financial savior this winter!

Matthew Jenkins from MyJobQuote throws in a game-changing tip: by merely keeping your radiator's fan dust-free, you could save up to £600 over the winter. It's all about efficiency, folks. And the best part is you can do this with items lying around at home.

For those hard-to-reach spots, Jenkins suggests using a hairdryer or a vacuum. And don't forget to lay a towel underneath to catch the falling dust. A cleaner radiator means less energy used, and that's a 25% cut on your energy bills!

Here's where Tesco comes into play. Grab their soap for just 30p and give your radiator a deep clean with soapy water. It’s not just about dust; if you hear clunking sounds, that's air trapped inside, making your radiator work overtime. Fix this yourself with a 70p radiator key, available at any major homeware store, to bleed out the air.

Beyond cleaning, consider radiator foil, priced around £7, to reflect heat back into the room. You can find this at B&Q, Screwfix, or B&M.

Remember, even dropping your thermostat by one degree can slash 10% off your bill. It's all about smart, cost-effective ways to stay warm.

James Halpin at The Sun reported these insights, highlighting that small changes can lead to significant savings.

Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, sums it up perfectly: "In times of rising costs, it's these simple, yet effective methods that can make all the difference in managing our household expenses."

So, is the soap to clean the outside of the radiator or the inside?

LHP118 outside sweetheart. The water inside comes from your boiler. What their saying is the bar of soap to make soapy water will cost 30p.

Been cleaning the radiators and air vents with hair dryer, also cleaning the air filters a long time. Not tried the soap test yet, but worth a go.
