WINTER means turning on the central heating as it's bitterly cold outside and you can't remember the feeling in your toes and fingers.

But, have you cleaned the radiators that will circulate the heat within your home?

Cleaning Tiktoker and pub landlady, Sophie Louise, 29, shared a great way to get your radiators sparkling again.

In the Tiktok which has over 40,000 views, she says: "So I really wanted to show you guys how I clean my radiators.

"I've already done the ones upstairs so I thought it best to come down and do them in the pub to show you, plus they need doing anyway.

"Just get warm soapy water, put a bucket underneath and you just tip it down your radiator."

"It is as simple as that.

"Obviously hard floor it doesn't matter if it splashes everywhere.

"Carpet just be extremely careful obviously.

"The amount of stuff thats in our radiators, we don't think to clean these like everyday but now its done it'll be alright, its okay

"All the grime that comes out of it, all hit my skirting board, but it's okay.

"Just give it a wipe up and then all I literally do is use the fabulous disinfectant spray over the front of the radiators

"Give it a clean and disinfect it, give it a good ol' scrub up.

The pub owner this also helped minimise the spread of Covid.

Her next cleaning tip is a little unusual, as she explained: "This is gonna sound really weird, yes I use Lenor," which is normally used as a fabric softener.

"On a damp cloth, just a little bit and just wipe it over the front.

"It's a really good trick so when your radiator is on it literally smells amazing, it's just nice and fresh."

She explained as the heat would activate the fragrance in the fabric conditioner and make the pub smell fabulous.

In the comments, Sophie said the entire process should take 2 minutes total.

She says she shares: "Useful cleaning tips 24/7," according to her bio on the video app.

Fans flooded her comments on the forgotten about part of our homes, saying they loved the lenor tip.

As Sophie revealed: "Always done it, the most easiest tip. It’s one of my favourites I must admit, surprising everyone I’ve ever told had no idea about it."

While another was concerned, asking: "Does this make the radiator rust?"

To which she replied: "No hun, well mine never have and my mums always done it and told me this trip years ago."

A commenter suggested another method to clean behind the radiators, saying: "Using a hairdryer on cool is easier I think."

While many said they had never seen this trick and one said: "Wow thank you very much for this! I got a new apartment and the radiators are just disgusting, holding like 20 years dirt. I'll try this for sure."
