We all are soon about to enter the month of May and the scorching heat is all set to make our lives miserable. During this scorching heat, it is impossible to stay outside for long, so people prefer to spend most of their time indoors in the summer. However, it will not be easy for you to stay comfortable even inside the house during summer. As the heat wave progresses, you might notice that the room, as well as the floor, starts heating up. It becomes difficult to walk or sit on the floor with bare feet.
What would you do in such a situation? Let us tell you some tricks today, with the help of which you will be able to keep the floor of the room cool. We hope these useful tips will be useful to you.
Keep window blinds closed
Sunlight is good for the room, but in summer the same sun heats the room. This also heats the floor very quickly. Direct sunlight, especially during the day, works to heat the room and the floor. Keep window blinds closed in the afternoon if you want to keep your room as well as the floor cool. Along with closing the windows, cover it well so that sunlight does not enter.
Avoid kitchen chores during the day
During summers, you should do kitchen work especially cooking a little early to stay cool and comfortable. In this case, avoid using the oven. Your kitchen will generate a lot of heat while cooking so cook before noon or early in the evening. If you have an outdoor space or space in your kitchen, open that door and cook while running the exhaust fan. This will allow the heat in the kitchen to come out.
Use carpets
If you want that you do not feel the heat while walking on the floor, then definitely lay rugs or carpets in your room or living area. Not only do they make your living area space look beautiful, but they also prevent the heat from rising from your floor. Another good use of carpets is that they can be used to sit comfortably if you have to sit down. Get such carpets for your room which is easy for you to clean.
Make a jugaad of wet rags
This is such a jugaad, which I have tried many times. Whenever the floor gets hot in summer, at least wet the rugs a little. Apart from this, you can also wet the sacks and lay them on the floor. Just switch on the standing or ceiling fan. The wet sacks draw heat from the floor, helping to cool the floor. You must try these tricks once. Just make sure the rugs or sacks are lightly damp so they dry quickly and don't wet your room.
Open windows at night
The best way to keep the room, as well as the floor cool, is to leave the windows and doors open for a while at night. Keep your windows and doors open in such a way that there is cross ventilation so that the warm air of the room can go out. This helps in cooling the atmosphere of the room. When your room is cool, you will find it easier to sleep.
Try these methods too and keep the floor of your room cool.
