Pet owners are welcoming the convenient devices, which can be purchased from high-speed train stores.
As homes across the UK heat up, many pet owners are desperate to keep their pets cool.
The country is struggling with rising temperatures, with shoppers rushing to buy electric fans.
But B&M is one retailer that has been praised for its cheap, easy-to-use rechargeable USB fans that are “perfect for pets”.
This great value £8 device can be attached to any dog cage and is ready to use when you power it on.
One buyer shared the post online, describing it as “worth every penny.”
It’s cheaper than Aldi, she said.
One woman wrote: “USB cooling fan for dog cages is just £8 in B&M – apparently it’s cheaper in Aldi.
“But there’s a B&M in my neighborhood so I bought it from there – it’s well worth the money to keep my daughter cool.”
“And the one from Aldi needs batteries – this one is USB rechargeable so no batteries needed!”
Other shoppers were quick to comment on the viral post.
One person wrote: “This kid needs this!”
A second added: “I want this!”
Meanwhile, a third user commented: “I bought this the other day and it’s perfect.”
You may already have some handy hacks and items at home that can help you beat the summer heat.
Keep blinds and windows closed
When the sun is shining, it can be difficult to keep your windows and blinds closed.
But knowing when to open and when to close can be a very cost-effective hack to keep your home from overheating.
When the temperature is low, opening the window lets in cool air, but when the temperature is high, the opposite happens.
So, to keep your home cool on a budget, keep your blinds and curtains closed when the sun is shining through the windows.
This is to prevent the heating effect of sunlight coming through the glass.
If you want to breathe fresh air again, it’s okay to open the windows again after the sun has gone out.
Bowl of water and ice
This is a great trick using everyday household items.
To try this hack, fill a small bowl with water and add a few ice cubes.
Place the bowl in front of the fan and turn it on.
This affordable hack aims to keep your room cool by circulating the cold air generated by water and ice.
Fans are a great tool for keeping you cool, but they can also push warm air around a room instead of cooling it.
This trick will help you get the most out of your device.
However, it is important to use electrical equipment safely and keep water away from any electrical equipment, including fans.
Fans are a good investment as they will cool you down quickly.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to buy it either.
The Sun has rounded up some of the cheapest fans on the market right now, with some costing just £8.
Turn off electrical appliances that are not in use
Not only is this tip easy, it will also help you save money on your energy bills.
If you are not using any electrical appliances, be sure to turn them off.
This will reduce the heat generated and may even calm your own anger.
Not only that, but it also helps you reduce your energy bills.
If you have a cooking appliance such as an air fryer, consider using it instead of a traditional oven.
This is because air fryers have a lower wattage than ovens and don’t produce as much heat when open.
Avoiding the use of hairdryers and straighteners for a few days can be extremely helpful in lowering your body temperature.
Remove the aluminum foil
Using aluminum foil to protect your home from the sun’s rays can help keep it cool without the need for fans or air conditioners.
To try this method, simply cover your windows with shiny cupboard staples.
Be sure to cover any windows that are exposed to direct sunlight.
This can be achieved by moistening the shiny side of the foil and sticking it to the window.
Another way to try this method is to cut a piece of cardboard to fit the size of your window and cover it with reflective aluminum foil.
You can also use adhesive tape to keep it in place.
With temperatures expected to reach nearly 30C in parts of the UK, this is an inexpensive way to stay cool.
If you don’t already have any tin foil to hand, The Sun found some in Waitrose for just 75p.
plant
This may not seem like an obvious hack, but it can be a natural way to keep your home cooler.
Plants are natural air conditioners and generate moisture in the air.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any green shrubs on hand, you can find them relatively inexpensively online or in stores.
Houseplant.co.uk is selling the Madagascar Dragon Tree for £14.99.
Meanwhile, Amazon is selling the Areca Large Indoor Plant for £12.99.
Try putting your bed sheets in the freezer.
Trying to sleep when the weather is warm can sometimes be a nightmare, with negative effects on preventing a good night’s sleep.
A clever hack is to put your bed sheets in the freezer for a few minutes to provide instant pain relief and reduce body temperature.
The idea behind this method is to place your bed sheets in a sealed freezer bag to keep them from getting wet and then place them in the freezer for a few minutes.
If your freezer is too small to fit a sheet, you can try putting a pillowcase inside instead to keep it cool overnight.
The freezer tips can be used instead of using a fan which can be costly if you keep it running overnight.
Throw away the duvet
Down duvets are an effective way to keep you warm in the winter, but as the temperatures rise, you might want to consider giving them up.
During the summer, remove the duvet cover from your bed sheets and store it in a cupboard.
Simply using your sheets as a cover while you sleep may provide instant pain relief.
It is also important to use bed sheets made from the lightest material possible to avoid overheating yourself with warm fabrics.
Use a hot water bottle
It may seem strange, but hot water bottles aren’t just for keeping you warm during the winter.
Instead, fill a bottle with cold water or crushed ice and place it on top of you or on the edge of your bed.
The bottle works the same way in reverse: instead of radiating heat, it acts as a cooling device.
If you don’t have a hot water bottle, you can also apply a damp cloth to your forehead for instant relief.
Insulated blinds
You might be surprised, but insulated blinds are a great addition to your home in the summer.
Not only are they great at retaining heat, they can also keep your home cooler.
You can buy one in Dunelm for just £8 and install it yourself.
However, if you require a handyman to install the blinds, you will need to factor in the additional cost.
