Lüften / House burping
Recommended by Lavinia Sophie
I have no idea why “house burping” suddenly became a trend or where that name even came from, but airing out your home has been a thing in Germany for generations.
Opening the windows and letting fresh air circulate is just part of daily life. It’s one of those habits that has stayed with me no matter where I am. At home, in a hotel, on vacation—if there’s a window, I’m probably opening it.
Whatever you want to call it—house burping, airing out, or lüften —I’m fully on board.

airing out the apartment and especially the bedroom with the sheets pulled back is the most important part of my day, cannot imagine not doing it
@jillianvogel
Ha! I thought this was a Mediterranean thing: I open windows all the time.
@andiguastaferro
my husband and i started doing this but in an effort to make everything a joke we have rebranded this to "farting the house" which never fails to make me laugh.

“Izluftiranje” for the Serbian version. Not a day starts without it!
