Greek homes get summer comfort tips for bathrooms and bedrooms

To keep bathrooms fresh during the hot, humid Greek summer, experts advise regular ventilation, installing or using exhaust fans, and employing dehumidifiers. Cleaning pipes, fixtures and the toilet bowl with natural solutions such as vinegar, and using moisture‑absorbing materials like charcoal or salt packs also help prevent unpleasant odors.

For cooler sleep, the guidance recommends breathable bedding made from cotton, linen, bamboo or Tencel with a thread count of 300‑400. Mattress protectors with thermo‑regulation or cooling gel, as well as pillows filled with kapok, natural latex or ventilated bamboo fibers, reduce heat buildup. Allowing bedding to air out after waking lets overnight moisture evaporate, further enhancing comfort.
