What is House Burping?
House burping, or lüften as it's known in Germany, is a simple yet effective practice. It involves opening windows to let fresh air in and stale air out.
Why is it a Big Deal?
- Germ control
- Humidity regulation
- Mold prevention
How to Do It Right
Cross-Ventilation
- Open windows on opposite sides of the house.
- Create a breeze that pushes out old air and pulls in new air.
Not Everyone is a Fan

Is House Burping a Good Idea?
- Benefits: Fresh air, germ control, humidity regulation, mold prevention
- Drawbacks: Can cause arguments and inconvenience
