Can You Wash Wool in the Snow? 

Long before the advent of the washing machine, humans wore clothes that needed to stay clean. And one of the oldest and best methods for keeping wool clothes, rugs, blankets, coats, sheepskin, and everything else clean was to haul it outside and give it a good scrubbing in the snow.
Think I'm joking?
Think again!
Here I show you how I prefer to wash my clothes in the snow. Note that heavily soiled items may require more scrubbing. If you live in an urban area and don't want to have to wash your garment a second time, be sure to choose a patch of snow that can't be visited by any stray dogs. Yup, you heard me right.
Also, be sure to incorporate a snow angel into any and all snow-washing rituals.
