Imagine discovering a stain on your favourite dress and having little time before you need to leave. Washing and drying could take too much time. Even after spinning, the fabric is still wet. Instead of reaching for the dryer, try a trick with the washing machine—your clothes will quickly dry!

Can you dry clothes in a washing machine?

Drying clothes using traditional methods can be frustrating. Hanging them on a drying rack means many hours of evaporation and taking up space in the room. Water vapour often has no way to escape, causing moisture on the walls, which can lead to the appearance of mould—hanging clothes on radiators? You block the flow of heat, which increases heating costs.

So, how can you avoid such problems? Most washing machines help with faster drying. You can also try a little trick with a towel.

How to do it? After the wash cycle is complete, throw a dry towel into the drum and run the spin cycle alone. The thick, terry material will absorb some water, making your clothes much less wet. It's worthwhile to hang them up near an open window so that moisture can evaporate without hindrance.

Drying clothes on a rack - how to do it properly?

We often make mistakes when drying clothes. Clothes placed too closely on the drying rack and lack of proper airflow can lead to moisture and mould in the house. When autumn and early winter come, we can use the balcony to dry clothes faster in the fresh air.

However, if you need to dry indoors, always place the drying rack in a room with easy ventilation. Proper air circulation is key to quick clothes drying. Wet laundry will no longer be a problem with a simple trick involving a towel.
