People call me the ‘crazy neighbour’ for my tin foil hack during the heatwave – but I don’t care, I’m nice and cool | The Sun

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.



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.

"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.
