Can you finally do it without a dryer? Here’s a trick that will definitely come in handy! We’ve all experienced the experience of having to leave in an hour, and our favorite pants or the only shirt we feel comfortable in are still hanging on the dryer, damp and soggy. It’s even worse in winter, because rain, snow, and frost make drying virtually impossible outside, and the air inside quickly becomes damp. Hanging them on the radiator seems like the most obvious solution, but it not only wastes energy but also increases humidity in the home, which in the long run can lead to mold growth.
Few people know that our traditional washing machines also have a sort of “hidden” drying function that we can use at any time in an emergency. It doesn’t require expensive accessories; all it takes is a bit of physics and a completely ordinary bathroom gadget. This method can be a lifesaver if you need to quickly dry one or two items and don’t want to spend hours tangling around a damp clothesline in your apartment.
The trick is to increase spin efficiency. A washing machine only spins at idle speed, but it can’t do anything about the moisture trapped between the fibers. This is where a simple but effective solution comes in.

If you want your clothes to be almost dry after removing them from the drum, put them back in for an extra wash cycle. The secret is to toss a large, clean, and completely dry terry cloth towel next to them. It’s important not to crumple it into a ball, but to spread it loosely among the other clothes so that it has as much contact surface as possible.
As soon as you turn on the highest spin speed, the dry towel will begin to absorb moisture from your wet clothes, like a sponge in a washing machine. By the end of the cycle, you’ll feel the towel has become heavy and damp, but your favorite T-shirt will only feel slightly damp. A few minutes of airing or a quick ironing will be enough to completely dry it. The fewer clothes you load at once, the more dramatic the effect.
Intelligent rotation and airflow
If you still need to use the dryer, it doesn’t matter how you load it. The most common mistake is stacking clothes on top of each other, which prevents air from flowing through the layers. Always place the items you need most urgently on the edge of the dryer or at a suitable distance from the rest of your clothes.
It’s a good idea to turn clothes inside out after a few hours. This is because water drains more slowly from internal seams and thicker parts (like pockets or belts). Turning clothes inside out allows air to reach previously clogged areas. It’s also helpful to place the dryer in the driest spot in your home or near a dehumidifier. A dryer draws moisture from clothes, which not only speeds up drying but also keeps the air fresher.
When the Iron Becomes a Dryer

Ironing is one of the oldest ways to remove residual moisture from clothes. If the fabric can withstand high temperatures, spread the slightly damp fabric on an ironing board and iron it without setting a higher temperature. Don’t worry about the rising steam: it’s not from the iron, but from the water remaining in the clothes, evaporating under the influence of heat.
Moderation is key, though: never use a higher setting than the garment’s care label, as wet fibers can be more susceptible to washing. This method works especially well for shirts and cotton T-shirts because, in addition to drying, it also instantly removes wrinkles, leaving the garment ready to wear straight from the ironing board.
These simple tricks not only save time but also help make navigating your home in winter less stressful. With a little attention and wise use of our appliances, we can avoid musty odors and long waits.
