6 Surprising Ways to Cool Down Your Home Fast

Summer in the UK is getting hotter, and most of us don’t have air con. Here’s what people are doing instead.

When temperatures creep above 26°C indoors, it gets uncomfortable fast. Especially in homes that were designed to trap heat, not release it.

Here are 6 cooling tricks UK homeowners and renters are using right now to beat the heat,without AC units, noisy fans, or sky-high bills:

1. Chill Your Bedding Before Bedtime

A simple trick: toss your sheets or pillowcase in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for 20–30 minutes. It won’t cool your whole room, but it can give you a more bearable head start to falling asleep.

2. Run Your Kitchen Like a Cave

In the heat, ovens and hobs are your enemy. People are meal prepping early, unplugging unused appliances, and eating cold dinners to keep heat output to a minimum.

3. Freeze Water Bottles and Use as Bedside Coolers

Fill 1–2 litre bottles, freeze them, then place them near your bed with a towel underneath. It’s a makeshift cooling solution that adds some chill to the air around you.

4. Switch to Cotton or Bamboo Bedding

Your thick duvet isn’t helping. Lightweight breathable sheets made from cotton or bamboo can make a real difference in how sticky the night feels.

5. Turn Off Tech When Not in Use

Laptops, gaming consoles, TVs, they all emit heat. Unplug what you’re not using, especially in small rooms.

6. Upgrade to a Bladeless Cooling Fan That Actually Works (Recommended)

We all know the usual fans, they’re loud, bulky, and you have to sit right in front of them to feel anything. But that’s not how modern cooling works anymore.

This summer, more people are investing in bladeless fans that don’t just blow air at your face. Instead, they move air throughout the room, creating consistent, comfortable cooling, and they do it almost silently.

But not all bladeless fans are created equal.

Why Vortex Air™ Pro Is the Fan Everyone’s Talking About

If you’re looking for a fan that actually helps during UK summers, not just pushes warm air around, this is the one people are recommending.

The Vortex Air™ Pro isn’t just quieter or more stylish than traditional fans. It’s better where it counts.

Whisper Quiet

Doesn't disturb sleep or relaxation.

Use it year-round: cool in summer, warm in winter.

Designed for UK homes

You Can Keep Fighting the Heat… or Finally Fix It

Let’s be honest.

Most of the tricks in this list — frozen bottles, unplugging tech, chilled pillowcases — are short-term fixes. They might help for an hour or two. But they won’t stop your flat from turning into a sauna. They won’t cool your whole room. And they definitely won’t help you sleep through a heatwave.

That’s why more and more people in the UK are choosing to stop patching the problem… and start solving it.

The Vortex Air™ Pro is one of the few fans built specifically for homes like ours. It moves air across the entire room, not just in one direction. It’s quiet enough to run all night, and powerful enough to make a real difference.

It’s the kind of upgrade that actually changes how your summer feels — and keeps working when the cold returns.
