It’s 100 degrees out and I don’t have air conditioning – my ocean-inspired trick cools the house down
NO air conditioner, no problem, said one crafty woman.
She shared her ocean-inspired trick that cools the house down even without an air conditioner.
Sloan (@entropa) shared the cool method with over 10,000 TikTok followers.
“When we moved to the Pacific Northwest, one of the biggest changes is that most of the time there is no AC,” she explained.
“And it’s like 100 degrees today and this is what I did, it works for individual rooms.”
She placed a fan next to her bathtub filled with water to mimic nature.
“The idea is whenever you pass air over water, it will cool off, that’s how the ocean works,” she said.
She explained that she funneled the air blowing from her bathtub using the sliding doors attached out into the room and into her bedroom.
“It comes out here and I have this to help propel the air out and I put it over this bowl of water,” she said, showing off the second fan setup she had.
“If you have terra cotta pots, fill those with water and since they breathe, it works way better,” she explained.
“My dogs aren’t even panting,” she joked.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her method.
“This is so smart,” complimented one impressed commenter.
“Also when it gets cold, putting candles in terra cotta pots lined with foil works well to warm the place up,” they said.
