Experts have revealed simple and practical tips to stay comfortable in your home this summer, even on a strict budget.
Corey Sims at CSDB has provided a simple hack to stay cool around the house.
She advises to firstly buy a spray bottle at a bargain or DIY store for around £1.
With this you can then spray your curtains, dampening them to cool the room.
As air blows across the hot drapes, evaporating water absorbs heat and lowers the room temperature.
The hot weather also ensures the curtains dry quickly without smelling damp.
You can also spray yourself to help stay cool which works in much the same way as sweat that helps our bodies shed excess heat.
The water is immediately refreshing and cool when it hits your skin.
Another good idea is to keep the spray bottle, or multiple bottles, in the fridge so they are ready when needed.
Experts have provided other great ways to keep your home cool all day too.
This includes closing your windows and blinds during the day to block the heat and open them early in the morning or at night to let cooler air in.
Freezing your pyjamas and bedsheets for at least 20 minutes will also keep them cool and refreshing for when you're ready to sleep.
It's also advised not to use the oven and to opt for no-cook meals like salads and sandwiches in what sounds like a perfect excuse for a BBQ.
It will keep the heat outside your home and prevent your oven heating your home by a further five degrees.
If your home is already hot, it could contribute to heat exhaustion so picky-bits on a hot day is a brilliant go-to for dinner.
Finally, you can also create your own DIY mini-air conditioning by placing a bowl of ice in front of your fan.
This is great for cooling smaller spots like your favourite chair or the side of the bed.
