Every year, summer brings hot weather and makes many people feel stifled and tired. For families with means, staying indoors and keeping the air conditioner on 24/7 is not a problem. However, for families with lower incomes or even college students renting small rooms without an air conditioner, the rising temperatures can be unbearable.
According to World Of Buzz, a Japanese person named Hirokouji Kanpo, with the Twitter handle @hirokoujiKanpo, shared a simple and useful method to cool down a room when there is no air conditioner.
Cooling a room with just 2 bottles of water
Hirokouji Kanpo’s tip received enthusiastic responses from people. Specifically, according to Hirokouji Kanpo’s instructions, we need to prepare 2 bottles of 500ml water and follow these 3 steps:
– Step 1: Pour water into the 2 bottles, filling them about 3/4 full (be careful not to overfill).
– Step 2: Put the 2 bottles of water in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and wait until the water inside completely freezes.
– Step 3: When the weather is hot, take out the 2 bottles of frozen water, put them in a metal bucket, and leave it in the room.
Hirokouji Kanpo claims that by doing so, the room will become drier and cooler. According to Hirokouji Kanpo, the room is cooler due to the phenomenon of dehumidification.
Furthermore, Hirokouji Kanpo, a pharmacist, also reminds everyone not to fill the bottles completely because when the water freezes, its volume will increase compared to the water level in the bottles, causing the bottles to swell and get damaged.
Cool your home with just 2 bottles of water, no air conditioner needed
Ways to cool the room without using an air conditioner
In addition to the above method, you can apply some other ways to cool the room without an air conditioner:
Plant more greenery
Place more potted plants indoors or design a climbing plant trellis outside the balcony. This will greatly help reduce the temperature inside the house. Plants also help trap dust and purify the air, making you feel more comfortable on hot days.
Reverse the ceiling fan direction
In summer, set the ceiling fan to rotate counterclockwise, creating a gentle breeze. When standing below the fan, you will feel the direct cool air flowing down, with concentrated cold air and without spreading it throughout the room.
Change the mattress when it’s hot
A simple way to cool down a small rented room and have a comfortable sleep is to remove the mattress and replace it with a straw mat or a cooling mat. Sleeping on the floor with a mat helps align your spine naturally and you will feel cooler.
Instead of seeking expensive devices in limited financial conditions, start cooling yourself down. Choose the coolest clothing to wear at home and take a shower before bed, these are effective methods to instantly lower your body temperature.
Seal the windows and draw the curtains
During hot sunny hours, seal all the windows tightly to prevent hot air from coming into the house, and then close the curtains to reduce the heat to some extent. When it gets dark, open all the windows for proper ventilation.
Mop the floor with cold water regularly
This simple method will greatly reduce the temperature of the room.
