Ingenious Amish Winter Clothes Drying Method Revealed
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo News
Amish families have found a clever solution for drying clothes in the winter without using household appliances. While many Amish households rely on clotheslines during the warmer months, they continue to use them in winter as well. The freezing temperatures actually facilitate a form of freeze-drying called sublimation, where the moisture in the clothes evaporates into water vapor, leaving them dry. Some families hang clotheslines indoors, while others use drying racks over wood-burning stoves or compact hanging drying racks. This method not only saves money on laundry and reduces reliance on electricity but also helps to lower pollution and promote sustainability.
