Property expert shares tips to keep house cool so you can sleep during heatwave

The July heatwave finally arrived in Liverpool over the weekend.

Temperatures have soared into the high 20s - and the Met Office has predicted the scorching conditions are here to stay on Merseyside with forecasts suggesting we could reach 30C this week.

People across the region will be coming up with all sorts of inventive ways to stay comfortable during the hot weather - and a property expert has taken to TikTok to offer some advice - as MirrorOnline reports.

That Property Guy has posted a video sharing the way he stays cool which has been viewed over two million times.

The first tip is to keep windows, blinds and curtains closed during the day as this will keep the hot air out.

But, if you need to open them, try to open them at opposite ends of the house as this creates airflow.

To circulate cool air inside, fill up some bowls with water and ice and place them in different areas of the house - in front of a fan works best if you have one.

He then suggests trying to do any cooking outside on the BBQ, if possible, as ovens create heat.

If you struggle to go to sleep when it's hot, That Property Guy has the perfect hack for you - freeze your bed covers before you go to bed.

Simply take off your sheets, put them into a bag and pop them in the freezer.

When it's time to hit the hay, put them back on and they'll be nice and cold.

You could also swap out any halogen light bulbs - as they create heat too - and change them to LED's if you can.

And finally, the expert suggests turning off any appliances, like your TV, when you're not using them.

One person said: "Yep I do this, makes a massive difference and really works."

Another wrote: "The hero we all need."

"I can already feel the cold air watching this," added a third.
