View Full Version : Long, thin and rigid...

So, I need to clean down behind a radiator but I don't want to have to get a plumber out to remove the whole thing... and I reckon I can create a sort of long cleaning device with a cloth attached to do the job. However, the gap is relatively small (about 1 - 2cm) so I'd need something quite thin. Any ideas about a long (say 4ft), thin (1cm or less), rigid (so it doesn't bend) pole-type device I could use to create this? I thought like those bamboo canes that everyone USED TO have in their gardens when I was a kid and we of course used as swords but those don't seem to exist any more?? You can get them on Amazon bt it's like £20 for a bundle of loads and I don't want loads! I just want one! Or two... for sword fights after...

you can put these dusters in Dunelm (other stores are available) which have extendable handles, then you have a duster and the handle that you can use for behind the rad

Yes i've got a skinny duster and the metal pole extends, got it on ebay ,then you could wrap a floor wipe round it and hold with elastic , that would do it ? Maybe.

have a vision of TS's house which is just clean from the window sills down :laugh:
...if you want to be really cheap/...as in spend no money, TS...?..then ask at your daughter’s school if you’re able to loan a metre wooden rule for the day and tie a cloth on the end...I’m sure they would be fine with that...
Or mr turpies taws, if the stick ain't doing the job.
Evil old git that he was.

Can you not use the stick off a brush/mop or something?

What we all need to be asking is why TS is cleaning behind the rads when the cobwebs have taken over :laugh:
