Lifestyle Desk: The rainy season brings relief from heat and humidity, but during this time the environment of the room can also be affected due to increase in humidity in the air. In such a situation, coolers continue to be used in many homes. Some people sleep with the cooler running overnight and keep the cooler right in front of the bed to get cold air directly on the body. However, it is important to take some caution while using the cooler in monsoon. Especially when the cooler has not been cleaned for a long time or there is already more humidity in the room. Let us know about it in detail.

Problems can increase due to dirty cooler

Water remains stored in the cooler and there is more humidity in the atmosphere during monsoon. If the cooler tank, pump and cooling pad are not cleaned regularly, dirt and fungus can accumulate in them. These particles can spread into the room environment with the cooler air. This may cause problems like sneezing, nasal congestion, throat irritation or allergies in sensitive people.

Do not allow excessive humidity in the room

The air is already moist in monsoon. In such a situation, running the cooler for a long time can further increase the humidity in the room, especially when there is less ventilation in the room. Excessive moisture can cause dampness or mold problems in walls, furniture and other parts. Therefore, while running the cooler, it is better to make proper arrangements for air flow in the room.

Do not take cooler air directly on the body

Keeping the cooler right in front of the bed and continuously breathing air directly on the body is also not considered a good habit. Prolonged direct exposure to cold air may cause some people to feel discomfort, dryness in the nose or throat. Therefore, keep the direction of the cooler such that the air spreads throughout the room and does not fall directly on the face or body continuously.

Cleaning of water and cooling pad is necessary

Before using the cooler, clean its tank thoroughly. Remove old or accumulated water from several days and fill it with fresh water. If you notice dust, dirt or mold on the cooling pads, clean them and replace them if necessary. The dust accumulated on the outer part, fan and mesh of the cooler should also be cleaned regularly.

Keep these things in mind before running the cooler overnight

If the room is more humid than before, use the cooler as per need instead of running it continuously. Keep adequate ventilation in the room and take measures to reduce humidity from time to time. Also avoid leaving water stored in the cooler, especially when it is not to be used for several days. Special attention should be paid to cleaning the cooler in the rooms of children, elderly or people sensitive to allergies.

Cooler definitely provides relief in monsoon, but ignoring its cleanliness and humidity of the room can increase problems. Therefore, it is better to keep the cooler clean, change the water regularly, maintain air circulation in the room and avoid cold air from falling directly on the body. With these small precautions, the cooler can be used in a more comfortable and hygienic manner during the rainy season.
