00:00Do you feel your house getting stuffy during the cold winter months?
00:02Try house burping.
00:03House burping is the colloquial name for the German practice called Lüften.
00:07The basic idea is, in order to get rid of the stale, stuffy air stuck inside your home,
00:12you completely open up all the windows and doors for around 5 to 15 minutes.
00:16This so-called shock ventilation has actually proved to be quite effective
00:20at flushing out accumulated dust and dander particles.
00:23It's also great at lowering the overall concentration of VOCs,
00:26or volatile organic compounds like ash from a burning candle,
00:31air freshener sprays, and dryer lint.
00:34If your house is feeling stuffy, try burping it.
