In winter, we keep the radiators on all the time. We don’t want to sit in a sweater under a blanket, we just want to feel comfortable, so we make sure that the apartment is always warm. The very thought of opening the window gives us chills. However, being ugly does not relieve us from the obligation to air the house. The supply of fresh air is very important if we want to maintain the correct humidity in the rooms.
Airing the apartment and humidity. Many people make one mistake
Some people believe that airing the apartment during frosts is pointless. They didn’t heat the house to consciously release warm air outside. However, this does not change the fact that windows in the apartment should be opened all year round.
This ensures not only proper air circulation, but also well-being. Too dry or too humid air has a negative impact on our immunity, respiratory system and nasal mucosa. A common mistake is drying on radiators. This speeds up the drying of clothes, but generates a lot of moisture, which may cause mold to appear on the walls in your home.

When is the best time to air your apartment in winter? Better short than long
When airing your apartment in winter, you need to remember a few things. First of all, a window that is open all the time is not a good solution. This is uneconomical and this is when we lose the most heat generated by radiators. The best choice is short but intensive ventilation, i.e. opening the window wide for 5-10 minutes. This way you will get rid of moisture and prevent excessive heat loss. It is best to do it in the morning (until 9:00 a.m.) or in the evening (around 8:00 p.m.). Turn off the radiators while airing. After airing, heat the apartment gradually, increasing the radiator temperature from time to time.
