You’re ready, impeccable makeup, shoes on… But your favorite pants are still wet. Outside, the rain is fierce, and inside, the air seems to refuse to cooperate. We’ve all experienced that moment of uncertainty when we wonder how to dry our laundry quickly, without turning our living room into a hammam or increasing our electricity bill. The good news is that there is an unexpected solution, already with you, and some well-thought-out tricks that can really change the game.
A quick tip for drying laundry with the washing machine
When time is of the essence, there’s no need to panic or turn on the heater. Your washing machine can become a valuable ally, even without a drying function. The principle is as simple as it is effective: use the spin to its full potential.
Put your freshly washed laundry back in the drum and add a large, clean, dry bath towel. Make sure that it is well unfolded so that it can absorb as much moisture as possible. Then start a spin cycle at maximum speed. In a few minutes, the towel will capture a large part of the residual water. The result: your clothes come out much less damp and finish drying much faster, sometimes in record time.
