#Use The Sun

Just because summer is over, it doesn’t mean you should retire the washing line. While not every day will be a great day for drying clothes outside, if it happens to be sunny and dry, then go for it! But keep an eye out for any rain and make sure to not leave them overnight as they will get moist again.

#Drying Rack Hack

Okay, this is one of the most genius hacks we have ever heard. Just place the drying rack with your damp clothes next to a working radiator. Then take a bedsheet and tuck the top end down the back of the radiator. And then just place the sheet up over the top of the drying rack. This way you will create your own little dryer by insulating the rack and stopping the warm air from escaping. You can also use a fan to have a good airflow. It will also help for the water to evaporate faster.

#Ventilate Properly

When you can’t hang your clothes outside, and you’ve put them on a drying rack inside, it creates moisture in the room. And too much moisture in a room can cause mold from forming. But a moist room also won’t really help to dry your clothes faster. That’s why it’s important to have a window open at least a little bit. The evaporation needs to go somewhere and having a way for the air to circulate is only going to benefit the drying process.

#Use The Curtain Rail

A creative solution when it comes to drying your clothes is to use the curtain rail. If you have any free hangers take them. Then just put your wet clothes on a hanger and hang them on the curtain rail with the window slightly open. You will be surprised how effective this simple method it at drying your clothes faster. It’s also great as it helps reduce creases in the garments.

#Dehumidifier

Drying wet clothes in a moist room is a disaster. The clothes won’t dry, and you’re setting yourself up for mold. That’s why it may be a good idea to invest in a dehumidifier, especially if you do laundry often. While the cost to run it depends a lot on the type you get, it isn’t going to make your bills high. Having a dehumidifier will help remove the excess moisture in the room and will cut drying time quite a lot. Not only does it remove the excess moisture, some also blow warm dry air back, so double win.

#Use a Towel

An easy way to help the drying process go along faster is to roll your clothes into a towel. This will help absorb moisture and make the drying time less. Just lay out your clothing piece onto a large, fluffy towel and roll it up tight. Start at one end and roll until the whole towel is twisted.

#Iron and Towel

You can dry your clothes with an iron and a towel. Simple and quick. Just place the wet piece of clothing on the ironing board and place a clean towel on top of it. Then iron the towel firmly on both sides using your highest heat setting. This helps to channel warmth into the garment and absorbs any excess moisture. Just remember to NEVER put a hot iron on your wet piece of clothing directly as you can damage the fabric.
