As the summer heat rises, using only an electric fan may not offer sufficient cooling power. Many households have started placing a wet towel on the fan to make the airflow cooler. Some even spray star anise-scented water to repel mosquitoes. Netizens have shared tips like freezing a damp towel for 20 minutes before draping it over the fan, resulting in significantly cooler air and quick indoor temperature reduction.
