Anyone living in Bahrain knows that the heat + humidity can get the best of us, even with our reliability on air conditioning. So if you’re staying put this summer, here are some tips to keep your home extra cool:
1. Close your blinds:
As simple as it may sound, closing your blinds has a real strong effect on the temperature of your home. Keep them closed to stay cool!
2. Clean your AC filters:
This is an important step to do every month, but it is extra important to clean your filters in the summer, as dust build up can reduce air flow drastically over time.
3. Get some sunlight absorbing plants:
These plants will become your friends! The mere placement of them around your windows will absorb a lot of the rays from the sun.
4. Turn off the lights:
All light bulbs, even the most environmentally friendly ones, give off heat. So whenever they’re not needed, make sure they are off!
5. Time chores wisely:
Electronic appliances use a lot of energy, which makes the house warmer. Try and put off turning on the washing machine, dishwasher and others until after sundown.
6. Close the doors:
Closing any room or toilet doors will make it easier for you to cool down one main room, as the cold air is concentrated in one area.
7. Invest in a cooling sheet or pillow:
If you really want to cool down, invest in bedding that will keep you extra cool! Check out your local stores, or scour the internet for a number of options.
8. When using a ceiling fan:
Set it to rotate counter-clockwise and at a higher speed and it will create a nice breeze.
9. Use your kitchen and bathroom vents:
Turning on the suction fans will suck out the hot air!
10: Cool down your body:
If you focus on cooling down your body, the temperature of your home will automatically decrease too!
