Khus mats are made from the roots of Vetiver grass. Unlike synthetic cloths, these organic roots possess natural thermal properties that resist heavy solar heat. 

Splash your Khus mats with water in the afternoon. As the hot outside wind passes through the wet, dense roots, the water evaporates, chilling the incoming air. 

Wet vetiver roots release a highly soothing, earthy, sweet fragrance. It naturally deodorizes your entire house while dropping the room temperature by up to 5°C! 

Cotton absorbs heat and blocks fresh airflow completely. This creates a suffocating, stagnant greenhouse environment inside your living room or bedroom. 

Khus mats feature thousands of microscopic air gaps. They successfully block the blinding sun glare while allowing fresh outdoor air to circulate smoothly. 

Cotton curtains fade, stain, and rip in harsh summer sun. High-quality Khus mats are highly durable, rot-resistant, and can easily last you 2 to 3 summer seasons. 

For maximum cooling efficiency, spray your mats once at 1:00 PM when the sun is harshest, and once at 5:30 PM to trap the cool, refreshing evening breeze. 

To avoid any musty odors or mold growth, let your Khus mats dry out completely in the morning breeze once a week before wetting them again in the afternoon.
