Do you remember when grandma tried to break Grandpa’s frozen trousers that she had been drying outside in winter? Let’s take an example from her, because drying by frost is one of the best ways to thoroughly clean any piece of fabric, get rid of parasites and insects, and also fight allergies and dampness in the apartment. Our grandmother also used to say that laundry dried in the frost irons much better and smells wonderful. And best of all, it’s completely free.

Stop dampness in the apartment, allergies and parasites, welcome a beautiful scent and perfect cleanliness

In winter there can be higher humidity in apartments and drying indoors certainly doesn’t help. Moisture is released into the air and, combined with the heating season, it’s the perfect recipe for mold, window condensation and other nuisances. Increased humidity also won’t do your health any favors in winter.

Advantages of drying in the cold

  • laundry is perfectly clean – sublimation removes even things that washing alone cannot,
  • it eliminates bacteria, parasites and insects (even those that are not killed by washing),
  • you avoid moisture in your apartment,
  • frost drying also benefits allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin,
  • it’s a perfect way to prevent the spread of diseases caused by viruses and bacteria; the frost destroys them,
  • the best remedy against moths,
  • laundry is easier to iron and irons better.

What to do when you bring the laundry inside?
Let the laundry soften for a while and then iron it. You can then put it away in your closets immediately.
