Drying clothes: A fan, clothes hanger and the sheet trick will help
But how? After all, clothes need air circulation! It is true that moving air significantly aids drying, but on the other hand, creating a “tent” over the drying clothes retains warm air around the dryer and also thanks to this, the moisture is more quickly transformed into steam, which escapes and soaks right into the bed sheet.
Would there be any other tricks on how to dry more efficiently in winter? Among the popular methods of drying laundry is classic drying in the room on a folding dryer, but also hanging on a hanger.
It is a very practical way to save space during drying, and also to facilitate subsequent ironing. Not only shirts, but also t-shirts or dresses can be dried on the hangers. Pants and skirts can be hung easily on hangers with pegs at their ends.
If you are going to dry on hangers, definitely do not use thin wire ones, but ideally plastic ones. Today, hangers with a silicone layer are also sold, from which the laundry does not slide down, and the hangers are semi-round, which hold their shape nicely and do not make dents in the material.

What else can contribute to faster drying? Remember these points:
- Well-wrung laundry is important. If the washing machine spins harder, make sure the filter is clean, which can prevent excess water from draining.
- If the washing machine is worse and simply spins less, spin the clothes again after washing.
- You can put the laundry in a folded terry towel and wring it thoroughly so that the excess water soaks into it. This method is also suitable for large items of clothing that are not normally dried.
- Use a fan in the room to ensure air circulation.
- Another helper is an air dehumidifier. Laundry dries harder in high humidity.
- Dry the laundry you don’t need right away slowly outside under the pergola, on the balcony or in the glazed loggia. At home, dry only those items of clothing that you absolutely need.
- Invest in a dryer that is practical and best used at home.
