        According to the article the smell diappears after 30 seconds
        So for a quick&dirty solution it should be fine

          Well, the article lies. Every time there’s high air humidity there’s a distinct and worsening sour smell. My school did this to our bathroom windows (because it was more environmentally friendly than plastic options). Ugh.

      window binds still let the light into the house where the energy then turns to heat.

      Heat-reducing window-tint on the other hand is pretty easy to install.

      honestly, on the outside, the yoghurt probably isn’t a particularly durable layer (i.e. going away after the first rain,) and probably gets to smelling funky. On the inside, it’s probably going to also smell funky.

        Note sure what they’re called, but plenty of houses here have metal blinds on the outside that work perfectly for blocking the sun.

      Absolutely.

      If it’s too hot inside the house but there is still sun passing through the window there is definitely something wrong

      Window blind, awning, sun breaker, trees … There is plenty of solutions
