As the temperature drops, drying clothes indoors can feel like a never-ending task. But one cleaning guru has shared a ‘little-known’ trick that she says can help speed up the process.
Nicola Lewis, a social media decluttering whiz with nearly 200,000 followers on Instagram (@thisgirlcanorganise), has revealed a clever tip to revolutionise your laundry routine. Setting the washing machine to “Drum/Spin” can significantly expedite the drying process, according to Nicola.
In a video titled “How to dry your clothes indoors” on Instagram, Nicola explained that by leaving the clothes in the drum and running an extra spin cycle, the laundry comes out less moist straight out of the wash. This extra spinning action helps draw out more moisture from the clothes, hence enabling them to dry quicker.
To enhance the indoor drying process further, Nicola recommended using an airer alongside a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier helps draw moisture from the air, expediting the drying of clothes. Alternatively, if a dehumidifier is unavailable, opening a window and placing the airer near natural light can also aid in drying clothes faster.
Additionally, Nicola suggested using a fan to circulate air and speed up the drying process, highlighting that this method is more cost-effective than turning on the heating. She advised spacing out clothes, using hangers, and rotating garments periodically to ensure efficient drying.
Followers of Nicola praised her tips, with one person mentioning the effectiveness of a dehumidifier in quickening the drying process. Another individual noted the absence of condensation on windows and the reduced battle with mould, thanks to implementing Nicola’s advice.
In conclusion, Nicola’s innovative approach to indoor clothes drying offers practical and efficient solutions for those facing the challenge of drying clothes during colder seasons.
