Have you ever felt frustrated waiting for your clothes to dry, especially during the colder months?
It turns out there's a simple yet ingenious method to expedite the drying process, using just your washing machine and an item you already have at home.
Here's how you can turn your washing machine into an efficient dryer with this almost unknown trick.
Step-by-Step Guide to Faster Drying
Complete Your Wash Cycle: Start by running your laundry through its usual wash cycle in the washing machine. Choose the appropriate settings for your load to ensure your clothes are thoroughly cleaned.
Find a Dry Towel: Once the wash cycle is finished, grab a clean, dry towel. This towel is going to be the key to speeding up the drying process.
Add the Towel to the Load: Place the dry towel into the washing machine along with your wet laundry. Make sure the towel is spread out and not bunched up to maximize surface area contact with the clothes.
Set to Spin: Adjust the settings on your washing machine to the highest spin cycle available. The high-speed spin will work in tandem with the towel to effectively draw out moisture from your clothes.
Start the Spin Cycle: Activate the spin cycle and let the machine do its work. The dry towel will absorb a significant amount of moisture from the clothes, reducing their overall dampness.
Remove and Dry: Once the cycle is complete, remove the clothes and the towel from the washing machine. You'll notice that the clothes are significantly less damp and may even be close to fully dry, depending on the fabric type.
Why This Trick Works
Moisture Absorption: The dry towel acts as a magnet for moisture, pulling it away from the clothes and reducing the overall humidity inside the drum.
Increased Efficiency: By absorbing much of the moisture, the towel decreases the amount of water that needs to evaporate, allowing clothes to dry faster.
Energy Saving: This method can save energy by reducing the need for prolonged use of an electric dryer or the need to air dry clothes for extended periods.
