Does it have the same effect with the fresh scent as summer? Does it kill the bugs and germs that get into our clothes?

Yes you still get the fresh scent in the winter same as summer. Love clothes dryed outside but if it is freezing the clothes will freeze and not dry. Also if frozen sounds silly but be careful as they will break.

Winter drying in very cold temps is not very efficient. You would do better to spread clothes about your laundry room and let them air dry for a while before popping in the dryer for a short time.

I'm also not sure that outdoor drying removes germs. Why would it? There is pollution in the air and that would affect clothing, yes?

Not to worry. I love drying my clothes outdoors in summer. Heres to hoping the groundhog was right. Sure doesn't feel like it now.......................

I've always heard you could dry outdoors in the winter, but I don't see how it could work. I would think it would take longer if they froze--they'd have to thaw out and then dry??? I stick to keeping them indoors.

I don't know about germs on fabrics, but I was told not to grow veggies too close to the road due to contamination. I would think those same things would get on the clothes? Granted, I live in town so maybe a "country" person wouldn't have this problem.

Though, to be honest, I've never had a good experience with the "fresh" scent from drying outside. Too much livestock around here for "fresh" lol--and sometimes my clothes smelled like it!!
