Did you open your windows to let in the beautiful fresh air today and they looked like this?
That's ok! Ours did too!
And if you don't have the time to clean them...
That's ok! Because we do!

With Winter finally coming to a close, and the hellish flu season slowing down (but still among us) it's that time again I remind my lovely people to open your windows! 🪟 🍃
This is actually part of a German practice called lüften which translates to "airing out".
Also know as "burping your house" or "shock ventilation" opening the windows for short bursts of 5-15 minutes even in the dead of winter has a multitude of benefits. So let's talk about that!

1. Improves Indoor Air Quality

Homes naturally accumulate:
- Dust
- Pet dander
- Cleaning chemical residues
- Cooking particles
- Carbon dioxide from breathing

Opening windows allows fresh oxygen-rich air to replace stale air, which can make the home feel and smell fresher.

2. Reduces Odors

Air exchange helps remove lingering smells from:
- Cooking
- Pets
- Trash
- Laundry
- Musty areas

Instead of masking odors, it physically removes the particles causing them.

3. Lowers Humidity & Prevents Mustiness

Activities like showering, cooking, and drying clothes increase indoor humidity. Letting fresh air circulate can:
- Reduce moisture buildup
- Help prevent mildew or mold
- Keep fabrics and upholstery from smelling stale

4. Removes Indoor Pollutants

Many everyday items release volatile organic compounds (VOCs):
- Cleaning products
- Air fresheners
- Furniture and carpets
- Paint
Ventilation helps dilute and remove these chemicals.

5. Improves Mood & Mental Clarity
Fresh air and oxygen can help people feel:
- More alert
- Less sluggish
- Less “stuffy”
This is why rooms often feel better after just a few minutes of ventilation.

6. Helps With Seasonal Illness Prevention
Air circulation can reduce the concentration of airborne particles that carry cold or flu viruses, especially in winter when homes are sealed tightly.

Simple Way to “Burp” Your House
Open two or more windows on opposite sides of the home if possible (cross-ventilation).
Leave them open 5–15 minutes.

Do it once or twice a day, especially after cooking, cleaning, or showers.

So come on now! Time to get on up and give your home it's Fresh Start of the Season.

Your home and your body, will thank you!

We are excited to announce that we have contracted with Spark of Hudson to start running a support group for people struggling with clutter and hoarding. (Or even those who know someone who is)
One of the biggest 2026 goals here at Fresh Start is outreach to help as many people in this type of living situation as possible!

Feel free to share and let anyone know who this could be helpful to! ❤️

Join us for Clean Headspace, a group led by Raena Baldwin of Fresh Start Home Services. This is a supportive, judgment-free space where we come together to tackle the challenges of physical clutter and the mental load that often accompanies it. Whether you’re feeling stuck in your own home or help...
