Mam-mee ! How I love ya. How I love ya. Come and clean me up. :-((
Hint : some of their cartridges come in 2 sizes, Jumbo and Dinky.
The Jumbo ones are much more economical

Hose pipe is fine. When I drained individual radiators clear water came out. When flushed the rads out in the garden with hose pipe, out came black gloop .... yuk

That's the patented method. A pressure washer is better if you have one.
While the radiator is removed, flush some water out of each valve. This should carry out crud that's in the pipes as well, although this works better if you have mains water pressure to do it. That's easy with a sealed system but can be rigged up with an open vented one as well.
