Desi Hacks: How to fix leaking AC just the way Taapsee Pannu did

With a lockdown in place to stop spread of Coronavirus, there are only a few things that people can do in case their home appliances stop working. Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu faced a similar situation recently and she decided to deal with it using a desi hack. Her air conditioner was leaking, which made the dirty water spill all over the place. Have a look at how you can deal with such a situation for the time being.

Desi hacks which can help you with a leaking AC

• Take two to three long dupattas and tie them together so that you get a long rope-like structure.
• Make sure the material of the cloth that you choose is cotton as it has the ability to soak in more water.
• Tie the ends of the cotton rope to the part of the air conditioner from where the water has been spilling out.
• Let the dupatta role hang in the air and place a bucket at the end of the rope. The water that has been spilling all over the place will gracefully land in the bucket, through the cotton rope.
• Make sure you clean the rope and the bucket every once in a while so that it does not stink and invite mosquitoes.
• This is just a temporary adjustment. Make sure you call the repair person as soon as possible.
