- I've never used vinegar to clean out a radiator, but it should work well on alkaline deposits. There may, however, be some deposits that it wouldn't be so good on. Since regular white vinegar is only

- If you use vinegar at full strength(seems a little harsh) should you use distilled vinegar? Would you then need to nutralize the acidity? How would you do that or could you just flush it a few times

- Gosh, seems to me that the last time I had a radiator cleaned and rodded at a radiator shop it only cost about 75$. Seems like this only needs to be done every 10 years or so if taken care of. Altern
