We found some interesting ways to cool off, and none require air-conditioning installation!
Although summer days are almost over, it seems like the temperatures are not dropping. Fans do not cool the way you would like, air conditioners are not beneficial to your health and airways, showering 10 times a day does not help to cool you down and definitely does not help your budget… What is the alternative? You must have heard of some tricks – air out the rooms on fresh nights, put darkened film on windows, use cotton sheets and fabrics made from natural materials to cover furniture, avoid cooking as much as possible and use diffusers and essential oils to freshen up the air in the room. However, have you heard about these three interesting ways of cooling that are good for both your pocket and your health? The advantage of these tricks is that they can be combined and one of them even replaces all the other ones…
Method number 1)
Wet down drapes and curtain edges
Few things beat the smell of clean fabrics in your living space. Whether it’s new linens, freshly cleaned furniture, sofa covers, or curtains. Especially curtains that provide a home with freshness, humid air and a pleasant smell after washing. When washing the curtains, pay attention to the softener and refreshing essential oils that you will add to the washing machine. The optimal choice are thinner light-coloured cotton curtains.
Choose white, beige, and delicate curtain colours that will adapt the warmth and permeability of the Sun, as opposed to dark tones that will, just like dark clothing, attract and retain heat. Close the blinds along almost the entire length of the window and feel the light freshness of the curtains drying in the breeze. When the curtains are completely dry, you can wet down only the edges of the curtains with cold water for a repeat of the process, and achieve an additional cooling effect with a fan.
Method number 2)
Metal bowl + fan
If you need instant refreshment, reach for the fan you’ve already forgotten about. Although not as powerful as some other cooling units, it will come in handy in combination with a large metal bowl filled with ice. Position the bowl near the fan so that cold air passes over the bowl and leaves an icy refreshing water effect.
This process is a good solution for cooling for up to half an hour, and to prolong the cooling effect, you should definitely repeat the process several times. This is a great solution when you do not have sophisticated devices at hand, but…
Method number 3)
Pick a cooling device
One of the most sophisticated tools on the market is the Arctic Air chiller, which replaces all these methods while being affordable, easily portable, and easy to use with a silent mode. What makes the Arctic Air device special is the opening for water or ice, which will provide you with additional freshness of the room and air humidity. Rovus Arctic Air Outdoor and Rovus Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 work with four different ventilation speeds and have adjustable cooling intensity. The LED operating status indicator allows you to control the device, and 7 different colours – blue, red, white, turquoise, magenta, yellow and green adapt to the atmosphere and needs of the space.
The appliances are charged by cable, saving energy thanks to a 10W battery. Rovus Arctic Air Outdoor works wirelessly with the help of a battery for up to 6 hours, making it an ideal choice for home and terrace, balcony or yard. If cooling from one position becomes too intense for you, simply move the Rovus devices to a different corner of your home. They are lightweight and convenient to use, and they fit into a storage room, cabinet or trunk.
