I have a perfect solution: works for me with out fail!
I Handwash my bedsheets, hate the "community" washing arrangements. I drench mine in ICE, place them in Freezer and after 1-2 hrs, i hang then in front of our window fans that are pulling the air in. the ones that are taking the hot air out are at the other end of the apt: this circulates the air very well!
Also useful: put the bamboo mats/ curtains (that they sell in the home improvement section) in the freezer(chest freezers work) after you have sokaed them in water. When you take them out you will see icecles:YAYY!!
Now mist them with your favorite air-freshener and hang them in front of windows/fans. This should work for most of the thrifty low mobility senior citizens. You will end-up with a fragarant soothing cool air.
A lady posted that she hangs her old sheets after wetting them, cools her apt by 5-10 degrees.
