As summer temperatures rise, many people turn to traditional Matkas for a natural way to keep water cool. Unlike refrigerated water, Matka water is gentler on the throat and digestion. If your Matka isn't cooling water effectively, consider a few simple hacks. One effective method is to wrap the Matka in a damp cloth, which helps draw heat away as the cloth dries. It's also important to keep the Matka in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to facilitate better cooling. For new Matkas, soaking them in clean water for 10–12 hours before use can significantly enhance their cooling ability by opening the clay pores. Additionally, avoid placing the Matka directly on hot surfaces; instead, elevate it on a stool or wooden plank. For optimal results, change the water daily and clean the Matka regularly with lukewarm water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh soaps that could damage the clay. These simple tips can ensure you enjoy refreshing, cool water throughout the hot summer months.
