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.
Especially in freezing temperatures, you shouldn't let your laundry dry in the apartment.
There are enough reasons to try “frost drying” at least once.
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
.
Those who do not believe in drying in the cold have 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 the 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 in freezing 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
laundry
dries
faster
thanks to the stronger air circulation
Clotheslines and racks are much more gentle on the textiles
Save acquisition costs for a dryer
Avoid mold in the apartment
