A stuffy apartment with no cross breeze
- Where I am
- The air feels thick and the smells stay put.
- Where I want to be
- Fresh air moving through.
- What's in the way
- Only one side of the home has windows, so nothing pulls air through.
Try this first, free: Open one window on each side of the home for ten minutes. That alone changes the air.
The fix
- Open a window on the shady side, and put a fan in it blowing out.
- Open another window or the front door a crack on the other side so fresh air comes in.
- Keep it going ten minutes at a time, a few times a day.
- Close the windows before a smoky or smelly time of day outside.
What this won't fully fix: A fan moves air around, but it can't clean it. If the smell comes from outside, opening the windows won't help.
Moving out: Take the fan out and wipe the sill. There is nothing to undo.
