How to Stay Warm and Safe During the Cold
Despite what everybody might think, the winter temperatures in Las Vegas are colder than locals would like. And when it gets cold, people reach for anything they can to stay warm. To help you stay warm and safe this cold season,
Thistle DKI has a few tips to share.
If You Are Lucky Enough to Have One
A fireplace is warm, comforting, and romantic. Before you use yours, be sure you clean it thoroughly to remove any debris which has collected during the period you haven't been using it. If you aren't sure how to do it thoroughly, don't risk fire damage and speak with a professional cleaner.
A Nice Warm Sleep
They've been around for as long as we can remember. And although they have come a long way, electric blankets still require you to use them safely.
With this in mind:
- Never sleep with an electric blanket turned on
- Don't turn it up so high that it burns you or is uncomfortable
- Remove unnecessary pillows and toys from the bed
- If your child is still adjusting to sleeping through the night without wetting the bed, don't use an electric blanket, even if you have switched off while they sleep. In fact, if your child wets the bed, remove the electric blanket entirely.
Do You Have Space?
One of the most appealing choices to stay warm in the home is an electric space heater. When choosing or using your space heater, keep the following in mind:
- Never use a space heater in a small and confined space
- Don't place the heater close to a wall
- Never cover the heater (with clothes, towels, anything...)
- Don't use the heater to dry your clothes
- Only use a space heater if it includes safety features, such as switching off after a particular time or if it detects it has fallen over.
