PEOPLE go to great lengths to stay cool and comfortable in the heat.
And with things set to get even warmer this week, one woman is hoping her hack will work once again.
Every inch of glass in her house was covered with tin foil[/caption]Leah Mendoza took to her TikTok page to share the clever trick, admitting she’d covered every window with tin foil to keep things “nice and cool”.
“I saw this hack on TikTok a few days ago and thought I’d give it a go,” she said.
“Bit of washing up liquid and some water in a spray bottle spray it on your windows, stick on the tin foil and it keeps the heat out.
“Guys my house has been lovely and cool.

“With a fan on in most rooms and this hack – amazing!”
She wrote over the top of the video: “I might look like the crazy neighbour. But I’m nice and cool in my house!”
As well as all the windows in the house, she also covered her glass back door to prevent the heat from getting in.
And while lots of people in the comments section said they wanted to give the hack a try, others said it’s better to put the foil on the outside of the windows, to prevent any cracking.
“you’re supposed to put it on the outside of the windows lovely,” one wrote.
“The double glazing will generate so much heat it will crack the glass.”
“Cracks your windows xx be careful,” another added.
While someone else hilariously commented: “if I did this in my estate I’d get raided!”

“Honestly I said to my daughter keep an eye out for a big police van,” Leah replied.
“We done the same and it worked perfect,” someone else praised.
