Folk method: how to quickly cool an apartment with water

The summer heat can turn your apartment into a real oven, especially if you don't have air conditioning. But don't despair! There are proven ways to quickly cool a room to a comfortable temperature, Ukr.Media reports.

Using fans

If your apartment doesn't have air conditioning, you can use fans. This is one of the most budget-friendly ways to cool a room. To make the air cooling more effective, it's best to close and darken the windows, just like when using an air conditioner.

To enhance the cooling effect, you can place a container of water and ice in front of the fan. The cold vapors will spread throughout the room due to the blowing, humidifying and cooling it.

Ice on the windowsill

If you don’t have a fan, you can simply place a container of cold water and ice on the windowsill to cool the air coming in from the street. The container should be refreshed every two to three hours, so you need a supply of ice. It is also recommended to spray the curtains with water, which will create an additional cooling effect.

Air humidification

To humidify the air, you can use a regular spray bottle. You need to humidify not only the air, but also the floor, periodically wiping it with cool water. The same can be done with other surfaces, but without excessive diligence, so that the room does not turn into a steam room due to excess moisture.
