If, on the other hand. you're opting for the low-cost kitchen foil, it's advised to first begin by measuring the distance between brackets and the cutting the regular foil to size.<\/p>\n

''If it doesn't have adhesive pads, you can use double-sided sticky tape to secure it in place.''<\/p>\n

Kitchen foil can be purchased at most supermarkets, including Aldi where a two-pack retails for \u00a31.29, as well as Sainsbury's (\u00a33 for 20m) and Tesco (\u00a34.50 for 30m). <\/p>\n

To make the radiators even more effetive, it's also recommended to deep clean and bleed them every once in a while, the expert added.<\/p>\n

How to bleed your radiators?<\/h2>\n

Cash-strapped Brits can shave money off their energy bills in minutes just by bleeding their radiators, experts revealed.<\/p>\n

In simple terms, bleeding the radiators mean letting out air that's become trapped inside – this is often responsible for cold spots.<\/p>\n

The task, though quick and simple, is also very effective – and here's how you can do it before the cold sets in.<\/p>\n

To do this, you will first need to put the heating on and check which radiators have cold spots, particularly at the top.<\/p>\n

For the bleeding process, make sure to switch the heating system off and find a special key – these are available at most DIY stores.<\/p>\n

Attach this key attach onto the radiator valve, which is located at the top of the radiator, and turn it slowly anti-clockwise, holding a cloth underneath to catch any water.<\/p>\n
