During the summer heat, many people look for cooling tools such as fans and air conditioners.

"There is a very simple method you can use to cool your home when it's boiling hot around you. All you need to do is soak a few towels in cold water and hang them near the windows and doors," says laundry expert Dejan Dimitrov.

This simple trick helps to cool the air and make staying indoors more comfortable. The water evaporating from the towels cools the air in the house. This is a cheap alternative for those who do not have air conditioning.

It is important that the towels are freshly washed, as dirty towels can cause an unpleasant damp smell that will spread throughout the house.

During the hot days of summer, sleep and rest can also be disrupted. To ensure quality sleep, it is important to know what factors affect your rest during the night.

With longer daylight hours and rising temperatures, many people are looking for ways to stay cool. While fans and lightweight bedding can be important, one of the easiest ways to ensure a comfortable night's sleep in the summer is to sleep in fewer clothes or even without a blanket.
