It's hard to believe: laundry is best kept outdoors even in freezing temperatures.

Why laundry should be dried outside in winter.

  • Wet

    laundry

    dries

    better

    outside

    in

    winter

    ,

    than in the apartment.

  • The "frost drying" is supposed to make the

    laundry

    particularly soft and towels extra absorbent.

  • There are

    several benefits to drying

    laundry

    outside

    .

Offenbach - Anyone who thinks that wet

laundry

belongs in the apartment

in

winter

is wrong.

You shouldn't let your laundry dry in the apartment, especially in icy temperatures.

There are enough reasons to at least try “frost drying”.

The environment will thank you too.

Laundry belongs outside even in winter

Clothes horse in the living room and heating on?

Better not, because wet

laundry

is

actually best kept

outside

.

Anyone who does not believe in drying in the cold has not heard of "sublimation".

A physical process is hidden behind the word.

If the

laundry is

hung outside at temperatures below zero degrees Celsius, the water in the clothing freezes and then evaporates.

A renewed liquidity is skipped during sublimation: the ice turns directly into water vapor.

Freezing temperatures in

winter

should not be a reason to

wash

not

outdoors

hang.

Important:

Do not bring the

laundry in

while it is still frozen.

Otherwise the

laundry will

get wet again.

Soft and environmentally friendly: let your laundry dry outside even in winter

Laundry

not only

dries

faster

outdoors

, it also

dries

better: Those who

prefer

their

laundry

to be soft should give "frost drying" a chance.

Drying in cold air should make the

laundry

particularly soft and the towels extra absorbent.

Temperatures just above freezing point are less suitable for

drying

laundry

outside

.

"Frost drying" only works when the temperature is below zero.

The reason: At cold temperatures in

winter

, the air has a particularly low humidity.

For the environment and for the apartment, drying at sub-zero temperatures also has its advantages: If

laundry

is hung up in the living room over and over again, this can lead to the formation of mold in the long term.

The wet

laundry

makes the apartment more humid and therefore more susceptible to mold.

The environment also benefits from drying outdoors, because energy is saved without a dryer.

(By Jennifer Richter)

These advantages arise when laundry dries outside in winter:

  • Save energy costs

  • Environment is spared

  • The stronger air circulation means that the

    laundry

    dries

    faster

  • Clotheslines and racks are much more gentle on the textiles

  • Save acquisition costs for a dryer

  • Avoid mold in the apartment
