The Wet Curtain Technique

A wet curtain can work wonders in cooling air as it blows into your home!

Ingredients:

  • A curtain or large cloth
  • Water
  • Optional: A few drops of essential oil for fragrance

Instructions:

  1. Dampen the curtain or cloth with water. Add a few drops of essential oil if you'd like.
  2. Hang the dampened curtain in front of an open window.

Why it works: As the wind blows through the wet fabric, the water will evaporate, cooling the air that comes into the room. It's an old-school method that's surprisingly effective.

Just be careful not to use too much water ⁠— the curtain should not be dripping. If you overspray, it may cause mould on or around the curtain, so monitor for this.
