How to clean a heated towel rail?

How do you clean your heated towel rail? Mine gets dusty and splattered with water drops which leave marks as they dry. But if I use a cleaning product on it, it smells funny when it heats up.

Damp cloth, no product, when it's on being careful not to burn yourself.

E-Cloth. Hot water. Cold towel rail.

is it chromed?

do you have hard water?

BananaPie · 27/04/2012 06:51

Yes, both chromed and hard water.

Two cloths, one wet one dry. Wipe with wet one and dry off straight away - gleaming....until next time someone uses towel

it will have limescale marks from water. If you clean it when cold, and wipe off with a damp cloth, you have a chance of polishing off the water before it dries.

you're not really on a winner here.

Thanks! Think I'll reconcile myself to it never looking spotless!

I use glass cleaner too. Or a babywipe. Then go over it with a soft dry cloth.

Hot damp cloth, then wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid all cleaning products unless you need to remove limescale that's already marked it.

Spent half and hour doing mine. Switch it off. Vacuume with a soft brush first. Then clean each individual bar with baby wipes. And dry thoroughly. Do horizontal first and vertical last. (tip from hotel chambermaid)

Have you tried Magic Eraser. I use it for all my bathroom
