You’re ready, makeup perfect, shoes on… but your favorite pants are still damp. Outside, the rain is pouring down, and inside, the air seems to be resisting. We’ve all experienced that moment of panic, wondering how to dry our laundry quickly without turning our living room into a sauna or racking up a huge electricity bill. Good news: there’s an unexpected solution, already at home, and a few clever tips that can truly make all the difference.

A quick tip for drying laundry in the washing machine

When time is short, 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 cycle to its full potential.

Put your freshly washed laundry back in the drum and add a large, clean, and completely dry bath towel. Make sure it’s fully unfolded so it can absorb as much moisture as possible. Then run a spin cycle at maximum speed. In just a few minutes, the towel will absorb most of the remaining water. As a result, your clothes will come out significantly less damp and will dry much faster, sometimes in record time.

Why avoid drying on a radiator when you can

It’s often thought that putting clothes on a radiator is the quickest solution. In reality, this isn’t always the wisest approach. The concentrated heat makes the air feel heavy and creates a stuffy atmosphere, especially in small spaces. Furthermore, some delicate fabrics don’t tolerate direct exposure to heat well.

It is therefore better to favour gentler and more balanced methods, which respect both your home and your clothes, while remaining effective.
