It feels a little bit like spring in some parts of the country, and a
breath of fresh air could bring benefits to both residents and their
homes, thanks to a traditional German practice thatrCOs ideal for the
winter cold and flu season.

The practice known as 'house burping' became a popular method in Germany
to help limit airborne virus particles such as COVID-19 and lower the
risk of respiratory infections. Experts say it also offers several other health benefits and can make indoor spaces feel more comfortable.

Burping the home, 'l|+ften,' is the German practice of opening windows to
let fresh air circulate and improve indoor air quality. According to
experts, house burping can bring benefits to residentsrCO health, comfort
and indoor hygiene.

Regular ventilation replaces stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, especially during cold months when people stay inside more. The practice
works especially well in winter because it quickly refreshes indoor air without significant heat loss, according to House Beautiful.

'Adding volumes of outdoor air by opening windows will lower
concentrations of indoor air contaminants that can make you and your
family sick,' Tony Abate, a certified indoor environmentalist, told the publication.

While house burping can be especially helpful in winter, it may not be
ideal during extreme heat, high-pollen seasons or for those who live
near heavy traffic, House Beautiful noted.

Health benefits of house burping

House burping can help remove contaminants such as carbon dioxide
buildup, dust, allergens and gases from cleaning products and air
fresheners from the home. Ventilation also helps to reduce humidity and
the risk of mold and mildew, especially when showering and cooking.

We've always burped the house when the weather is good. It got
up to 40 F yesterday, so we shut off the furnace and opened the
windows for a couple of hours. The temperature at the thermostat
dropped from 71 to 68 during that time.
