Is there any way to clean my car radiator at home?

Some of the fact you need to know before cleaning a radiator is that the antifreeze used inside a radiator is actually made out of Ethylene Glycol which is a naturally corrosive substance so therefeore it needs a change once in a while like 2 to 3 years. You have to get your radiator cleaned because of some problems like unpressurized radiator which happens because of leaking head gasket of engine. In a radiator, the coolant will typically flow in one side through the hose into the tank, flow through the radiator core through these little narrow tubes into the tank on the opposite side, and return to the engine on the other side. Starting off by draining the radiator of all antifreeze that we can get out. Once we have drained the radiator we then need to refill it with water, and do our best to flush it out with just the water. And then add the chemical whatever kind of flush detergent type of agent that we have in there, and start the engine, and run it to full engine operating temperature typically for fifteen minutes or so. And then shut the vehicle off, and drain the radiator, Now as you have drained the flush detergent, you will still be having some of the flush agents in the engine so you cant just turn the engine round to pour the liquid out so instead you out some water in the radiator and then turn the car on for the same time, now again drain the flushing agent out and now you have a clean radiator, Put some antifreeze after draining the water and you will be all set to go.
