Summer's here, and with it comes scorching temperatures. While escaping to a cool beach might sound ideal, most of us need to find ways to stay comfortable at home. But fear not! Here are Sparkle Cleaning's top 5 tips for a cool and clean home this summer:
- Block the Sun: Keep your home cooler by blocking out the sun's rays during the hottest part of the day. Invest in blackout curtains or blinds for south-facing windows.
- Embrace Ceiling Fans: Make sure your ceiling fans are rotating counter-clockwise to create a cool breeze. They'll help circulate cool air and make you feel more comfortable.
- Cool Down with Cleaning: Though cleaning might not sound appealing in the heat, a tidy home actually stays cooler. Dust bunnies and clutter trap heat, so a good cleaning can make a big difference.
- Sparkle by Night: Schedule laundry and dishwashing for the cooler evening hours. These appliances generate heat, so running them during the day can make your home feel even warmer.
- Let in the Cool Night Air: During the cooler night hours, open windows to bring in fresh air. Just remember to close them again during the day to keep the hot air out.
Bonus Tip! For an extra cooling boost, consider having your air conditioning system serviced to ensure it's running efficiently.
