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...

It's not dust unfortunately, a hot chocolate got spilled down the back of it and it's now green and mouldy :umm2:. Yaaay spores.

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.

...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.
