Flushing the radiator need quick answers
I understand the part where you drain out the old radiator fluid then add water then run it and then start adding the flush cleaning solution. But what I am confused is do I leave the radiator cap off when I do this or do I add the cleaning solution in the overflower while it is idling?

Make sure if you are doing the home flush, which I assume you are, that you get all the tap water out and fill with Coolant and distilled water only... But, Im sure you know that... right?

a bit of tap wont kill your radiator if theres some left in it
i used to add tap to mine all the time wheelin when it would leak out and get low on fluid, but if you can get distilled or just 50/50 mix then go that route
