The post has clearly impressed many, as it has racked up more than 1,600 reactions with over 200 comments from people eager to weigh in on the odd but nonetheless highly effective hack.

Another added: "The thought of using Ketchup or foil on metal to clean makes me feel so sick. I just couldn't do it… Looks amazing though!"

A third commented: “Very impressive!” 

Meanwhile, someone else asked: "Guess what I'm doing with my day off next week?” 

At the same time, another user penned: "Fab job thanks for sharing. Worth [a] try on my radiator!"
