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

Can you dry clothes in the washing machine?

Drying clothes using traditional methods can be frustrating. Hanging them on a rack usually means many hours of evaporation and occupying space in the room. Water vapor often has nowhere to escape, causing moisture on the walls, leading to mold. If you hang clothes on radiators, you're blocking the heat flow, which increases heating costs.

So how can you avoid such problems? Most washing machines offer quicker drying solutions. All you need is a small trick with a towel.

How to do it: After finishing the wash, toss a dry towel into the drum and start a spin cycle. The thick terry material will absorb some of the water, making your clothes much less wet. Afterward, hang them by an open window to allow moisture to evaporate without obstacles.

Drying clothes on a rack: how to do it correctly?

We often make mistakes when drying clothes. Clothes placed too closely together on the rack and lack of proper air circulation can lead to moisture and mold in the home. When autumn and early winter arrive, we can use the balcony to allow clothes to dry faster in the fresh air.

However, if you need to dry clothes indoors, always place the drying rack in an easily ventilated room. Proper air circulation is key to the quick drying of clothes. By using a simple trick with a towel, wet laundry will no longer be an issue.
