Smart People Stick Urgo Patches on Their Air Conditioners — Here’s Why You’ll Want to Try It Too

Why Put Urgo on the Air Conditioner?

This easy method requires just two Urgo patches. Peel off the backing to reveal the soft white cotton pad inside. Then, add a few drops of menthol oil or your favorite essential oil directly onto the cotton (but avoid the adhesive so it stays sticky).

Finally, stick the patches to the front of the air conditioner’s fan.

As the cool air blows out, it will spread the scent of the essential oil throughout the room, creating a refreshing, relaxing atmosphere. This trick works especially well if the room has lingering odors. Even better, many essential oils—such as peppermint, lavender, or lemongrass—help keep mosquitoes and insects away.

With just a couple of Urgo patches, your air-conditioned room becomes cooler, fresher, and far more comfortable.

Extra Tips for Healthier, Smarter AC Use

1. Set the temperature wisely.

Keep your air conditioner between 23–27°C. Setting it too low may cause thermal shock and harm your health. It also consumes more energy and shortens the lifespan of the unit.

2. Don’t rush into the cold.

If you’ve just come in from the hot sun, give your body a few minutes to cool down naturally before entering an air-conditioned room. Avoid sitting directly under the airflow.
