Why Germans Open Every Window in Winter (Americans Still Get It Wrong)

Why Germans open every window in winter? The rule Americans still get it wrong. My mother kept every rule of her house in a little book on the kitchen shelf. If you finished this video thinking "I want all of these written down in one place", that is exactly why I wrote Oma's House Rules. It isn't a shopping list of gadgets. It's how a German home runs: a temperature for every room, a cleaning plan that takes ten minutes a day, laundry that lasts, thrifty meals from the pantry, and a household book that shows where every dollar went. If you like things done properly, you'll feel right at home in it. 📌Get the book in the pinned comment below! 👇 Chapters 00:00 Bill's question in 1974 01:53 Who I am 02:06 The myth: "you're heating the street" 03:31 Oma's House Rules 03:53 Cold air is thirsty air 05:31 5 signs your house can't breathe 06:59 The window habit that costs you twice 08:18 How Germans air out, in 4 steps 09:54 When: the German day of fresh air 11:33 3 traps, and the basement surprise 12:54 Lüften, but never Durchzug 13:40 When you can't open the window 14:30 What I answered Bill #GermanHome #MoldPrevention #OmasHouseRules #SaveEnergy #WinterHome #FrugalLiving
