This tutorial actually calls for a combination of bacteria-killing methods, including spraying them with vinegar and hanging them in the sun. These other methods may be what really kills the bacteria, but apparently leaving your jeans in the freezer over night freshens the fabric, and the whole process saves a lot of water as well.
