A TikTok user shared a clever hack on Mirror to dry clothes quickly in the winter without a dryer. The user, with the handle @neat.caroline on TikTok, offered simple tips for an efficient and time-saving drying process.
“This is a very easy way to dry your clothes quickly,” she instructs. “Lay a towel on a flat surface. Place your wet item on the towel. Then, use the burrito method to roll it up.” She continues to demonstrate the rolling technique, adding, “After rolling, use your knees to press down on the towel to squeeze out the excess water.”
Next, Caroline unwraps the rolled-up towel and says, “Now, just hang the garment on a rack, and it will dry within a few hours instead of having to wait overnight.” She also shares an additional quick-drying tip: “If you’re in a real hurry, use a hairdryer to speed up the process.” She notes that the video took her just one minute to film.
Caroline explains that this trick is especially useful when traveling or hand-washing clothes without access to a dryer or if your dryer breaks down. It’s a fantastic time and energy-saving method.
In a similar vein, another TikTok user, Shannon (@lifewiththetomkins), shared her cost-saving approach to drying clothes. She reveals that she aimed to “cut costs” by reducing her reliance on a clothes dryer. Shannon’s indoor space was limited, making it challenging to find adequate drying areas.
However, Shannon discovered a clever solution that she wanted to share with her followers. She suggests using a space-saving clothes rack that can be hung over a door and features three adjustable tiers. She demonstrates how to hang clothes on this rack for faster drying. “With three adjustable tiers, you have plenty of space to hang your clothes!” This tip not only saves you money but also reduces your indoor heating costs as you won’t need to use a dryer.
Shannon also recommends hanging the rack on the top tier instead of the bottom one, explaining, “Heat rises, so it will help your clothes dry faster,” allowing you to wear your garments sooner without the wait.
Both of these hacks will save you time and money while ensuring your clothes stay dry and fresh during the chilly winter months, all without relying on a dryer.
