New Delhi: Cooler definitely gives relief to people during the summer season, but sometimes the strange smell coming with its air increases the problem. Especially the fishy smell coming from the cooler becomes a big problem for people. Actually, this smell does not arise due to any technical fault but due to dirt, old water and lack of cleaning for a long time. Meanwhile, the good thing is that this problem can be easily solved with some easy home remedies. Let us know what those home remedies are.

change water regularly

If the same water is filled in the cooler tank for a long time, bacteria and fungus start growing in it. These bacteria become the biggest cause of bad smell. In such a situation, it is most important that the water in the cooler be changed regularly. If the water has not been changed for several days, then first of all the tank should be completely emptied and filled with clean water.

change cooler grass

Bad smell also spreads from the pads of the cooler i.e. grass. Let us tell you, due to being continuously wet, dust and dirt accumulate in them. In such a situation, washing the pads thoroughly or changing them if necessary is considered a better option. If new pads are not immediately available, drying them in the sun for some time can also reduce bacteria.

use vinegar

White vinegar is also considered very effective in removing bad smell. Adding 1 to 2 spoons of vinegar in the cooler water reduces the bacteria present in the tank and the smell gradually starts going away. Let us tell you, vinegar works like a natural deodorizer and freshens the air.

should should not

Nowadays, cooler perfumes are also available in the market, which people use for fragrance. Some people also put lemon peel, orange peel or neem leaves in the cooler. Although these measures are helpful only for fragrance, they cannot be a substitute for regular cleaning. Apart from this, one should avoid putting detergent or strong chemicals in the cooler, because this can damage the motor and other parts. Proper care and periodic cleaning keeps the air of the cooler fresh and provides relief from heat.
