cleaning the bugs out

ok first outdoor crop for me and she looks beautiful, but there are little bugs, hairs, fuzzes, and the things that make the outdoors great. I maybe spoiled with my indoor grow being so clean but the thought of smoking that extra crap isn't that appealing.
I have done bud washes, well more like rinses, and was thinking that's probably the route I was going to take.

was also thinking that when we have a "warm" day I could rinse the whole plant off while still alive in the ground shake it then let it sit in the sun and high 50's F for the day, maybe two, then chop. maybe a mister with h2o2/h20 mix to help inhibit mold growth. but worried about mold at these temps.

what do you do about the extras in your outdoor bud?

Like Thumper said, bud washing is the way to go with outdoor. If you are worried about mold spores, add a little H2O2, but plain water will get rid of everything else. Just a swish in a bucket, then hang in front of a fan for a hour or two. If no fan, smaller buds can be taken for a tumble in a salad spinner.
