Winter Clothes Drying: Amish Ingenious Method Revealed.

Amish families rely on clotheslines to dry their clothes in the summer and winter, with some using indoor drying racks over wood-burning stoves or hanging clotheslines in the basement. According to appliance company Speed Queen, drying clothes on a line in winter is a form of freeze-drying, with sublimation allowing moisture to evaporate into water vapor, leaving behind dry clothing. This method saves money on laundry and electricity, is good for the planet, and clothes dried outside smell great without using chemical-laden dryer sheets.
