These first weeks of the year are synonym with vacations for the children, the beach, little trips for fun or just a break at home. Summer is here, and with it also the heat and stifling sensation, even more so if there is no air conditioning system in your home.

In these summer days, home is too hot and uncomfortable to rest or do some activities in it. In these times where it is better to stay at home, Celima – Trebol bring you these practical tips to keep your home cool easily:

Make the most of low temperature hours

Cool your home ventilating it during the night or in the early morning hours, when the outside temperature is lower. When the sun goes down and the breeze comes up, it is the perfect time to open windows and let the accumulated heat be replaced by fresh air.

Get your home ready for summer

When the seasons change, we don't dress the same. So, why can't the same thing happen with our home? Summer is the time when we have to replace elements and materials of our decoration for other cooler ones. It is the time to put away thick carpets and curtains, to change them for cooler materials and lighter tones. This simple change will make the house feel fresher. Also in bed sheets, replacing thick fabrics for lighter ones such as linen.

Cook preferably in the morning

The best time to cook during the summer is in the morning. Avoid using the oven and fire so often, so the temperature of the house will not increase. Try cooking cold dishes such as salads, cold creams and other recipes that can be kept in the refrigerator. Stay hydrated.

Let plants be your allies

Having plants in our home will make them absorb heat, making the house somewhat cooler. For example, a vine on the balcony will protect the wall from the sun's rays; while, indoors, a fern will help purify the air and maintain a more uniform temperature in our home.

Turn off appliances you don't use

Avoid leaving appliances on or idle during the day, as they generate heat. Televisions and computers connected and running increase the temperature and generate unnecessary energy waste. Unplug them if you do not use them, your home will thank you for it.

Refresh your Celima floors

If you have ceramic tile floors and you are looking for that feeling of freshness, scrub the floors of your terrace, balconies and bedrooms in the morning with cold water. You will realize that it is an effective method to lower the temperature at home..

This summer, get ready to counteract the heat in your home with these practical tips we have shown you.
