A TikToker has shared a money-saving hack for staying warm during the winter months. By using an electric blanket for four hours a day, he claims to save significantly on energy bills compared to heating the entire house. However, some experts warn about the potential for damp and mould build-up, recommending the 'Stosslüften' method for ventilation.
If you're feeling the chill but can't afford to crank up the heating, there's a way to keep warm without breaking the bank.

They explained: 'In Germany, we have a technique called 'Stosslüften', or 'shock ventilation'.' 'What that basically means is that instead of having maybe one window open all day (which is a huge waste of energy), open several windows all over the house for three minutes, creating a strong draft to exchange most of the warm, humid air inside the house with cold air from outside. 'A cool feature about cold air is that it can 'hold' less water vapour. If this relatively dry cold air enters your house, it warms up. Being warmer, it is suddenly capable of taking up some of the extra humidity from inside your house. 'This might sound a little weird at first, but it is advocated in schools and so on.
