First, after driving the car to get it warm, shut it off and put your hand around the radiator. If it is clogged you should find cool spots.

Second thought, are you sure it is getting too hot? Maybe a strange question, but could it be a gauge error? Also, using the heater should show an almost immediate cooling effect on the temp since it is really an additional radiator of sorts.
