Unlock your washing machine's secret drying feature. Time and cost-saving tips for laundry

In certain situations, for instance, washing and drying can be time-consuming when your favorite dress acquires a stain, and you still want to wear it irrespective of the time left before going out. Even after spinning, the fabric is usually wet, and drying it with a hairdryer seems the only solution. Yet, before reaching for the hairdryer, try this trick with your washing machine. Your clothes will be dry instantly!

Drying clothes can often be an annoying task. Spreading them out on a drying rack means hours of steaming, while the dryer consumes half of the room's space. The steam, with nowhere to escape, begins settling on walls, facilitating the formation of mold. If you opt to hang your clothes on radiators, it might just obstruct the circulation of heat, which in turn will necessitate heating up the room, thereby generating extra costs.

The above scenarios don't paint an optimistic picture, so it's time to explore a method that shields us from the steaming water effects from clothes. More often than not, most washing machines have a quick drying option. You only need to throw a dry towel into the finished washing load and set the washer to spin. As the fabrics bounce against each other, the thick, terry towel absorbs the water, significantly drying your clothes. After extraction from the machine, hanging the fabric by an open window is suggested to allow the steam to dissipate.

Most of us perpetually commit errors when drying clothes. Packing clothes tightly on dryers and a lack of airflow often lead to mold formation in your living space. The fall and early winter seasons permit us to dry clothes on the balcony where they dry much quicker.

If you opt to dry indoors, always place your dryer in a space where you can open a window freely. Good airflow is crucial for quick drying of clothes. Employ the towel trick and your wet laundry troubles will become a thing of the past.
