Web Stories9 Amazon Finds That Will Make Your Home A Safe Haven This Monsoon
There’s something quite cosy about a rainy day, isn’t there? The gentle pitter-patter on the windows, the excuse to stay in with a hot cuppa, and the scent of wet earth outside. But as charming as it sounds, the monsoon can also bring along a fair bit of mess — muddy footprints, damp laundry, and that unmistakable musty smell. That’s why now’s the perfect time to give your home a seasonal spruce-up with a few clever, rain-ready products. Here are nine home products from Amazon under ₹3,000 for rainy season.
1. Umbrella stand
Bringing wet umbrellas back home, dripping water everywhere and making a mess is nothing but a headache. Get yourself an umbrella stand with a detachable tray to store your umbrellas. The detachable tray will collect all the dripping water which you can throw away later. Keep it near the entrance or the foyer so it’s easy to take and leave the umbrella on the stand as you leave and come back to the house.
2. Dehumidifier
The house usually gets sticky and there is a musty odour during the rainy season. A dehumidifier helps keep moisture in check while eliminating related odours from the house. A compact and portable humidifier lets you put it in drawers, shelves, shoe racks, next to windows and any other place that has excess moisture. This is one essential home product you need for rainy season.
3. Clothes drying stand
Drying clothes on your balcony during the rainy season is an absolute no-no. Clothes tend to gather a musty smell, especially when it’s not sunny at all. So, on rainy days, use a multi-tier clothes drying stand.
4. Air freshener
The dampness of the season gets into the house and clings to your clothes, curtains, and other objects in the house. It’s not easy to live with this stink. It becomes important then to make sure your house smells good. Get yourself an automatic air freshener to make your home smell fresh and fragrant.
5. Naphthalene balls
Keep mildew and moths away from the shelves by using naphthalene balls. Add some naphthalene balls to your wardrobe, cupboards, bookshelves, toilets, and other shelves. Naphthalene balls also keep away the fabric-eating insects from your clothes, so add them to your clothes drawer. The pungent smell of the naphthalene balls repels cockroaches, reptiles, and rodents. A good tool to have during the monsoon season!
6. Rubber foot mat
Walking in with wet shoes or sandals is inevitable. As you walk through puddle after puddle, you don’t just drag water home, but you also transport dirt and other impurities. A rubber mat will help keep the dirt and mud out. Since it dries quickly unlike regular doormats, you don’t have to worry about the next person walking in through the door with wet shoes.
7. Silica gel
Closed shoes tend to get stinky, especially during the rainy season. The same goes for other enclosed spaces where moisture gathers and leaves a foul smell. Placing silica gel in closed shoes, cupboards, and airtight containers will absorb the excess moisture. Silica gel protects your things from fungus, mould, and foul smells.
8. Hanging shoe rack
Despite using a doormat to clean your shoes, they don’t always completely dry off. Especially if you are wearing canvas shoes or any material that absorbs water. A hanging shoe rack is a good remedy for dripping wet shoes. You can mount the racks on a bathroom wall, balcony wall or any other place where you wouldn’t mind water gathering. Just place your footwear in the rack and let them dry.
9. Mosquito racket
Monsoon and mosquitoes are an unfortunate match made in heaven. Monsoon season builds lots of breeding grounds for mosquitoes and they often make their way to your homes. The buzzing sound along with the occasional stings is not something anyone wants. So, one way to rain-proof and mosquito-proof your home is to get electric swatters. They don’t just incapacitate mosquitoes but also flies and other flying insects.
