Midway through winter, households turn to cleanup tasks with a practical mindset. Radiators demand routine attention to keep them operating efficiently, which means scheduling regular maintenance, checking for leaks, ensuring proper heat output, and replacing worn components when needed. By keeping these systems in good shape, families can reduce energy use and lower the chance of unexpected breakdowns, especially when the cold demands peak.
Although radiators are a common fixture in many homes, achieving a truly thorough clean remains a challenge. Long pipes that run along walls can make full access difficult and leave stubborn dust behind.

This season, a new Ikea cleaning kit could prove surprisingly useful, though it isn’t perfect for every scenario. It features a height-adjustable handle and multiple heads designed to tackle different areas around the home. The kit is priced at 19 euros.
The device bundles several tools in one system, offering practical solutions such as:
-
a traditional mop for floor cleaning
-
a cloth and glass cleaner with a plastic squeegee strip for liquid removal
-
a brush for deep scrubbing the bathroom floor or walls
-
a microfiber cloth suitable for windows, mirrors, or faucets
-
two dusters with replaceable covers
