Mould and condensation will disappear with simple task used by Germans
Temperatures around the country have begun to drop, and with the onset of autumn and storms bringing adverse weather, there are a few issues that may arise around the house. The likes of condensation will be appearing on windows again, and if it’s not resolved, it can lead to issues that are much worse, namely, mould.
TL;DR
- Condensation and mould can be problems in homes as temperatures drop.
- The German habit 'Stoßlüften' (shock ventilation) is a free solution.
- It involves opening all windows wide for five minutes, twice a day.
- This process replaces warm, damp indoor air with cold, dry outdoor air.
- Querlüften (cross ventilation) is when air flows from one side of the property to the other.
- This method can remove pollutants, reduce odours, and improve home freshness.
- The technique also offers well-being benefits and can make homes more energy efficient.
