I’m an organisation pro – the simple trick to get clothes dry this winter without turning the heating or tumble dryer on
AN ORGANISATION pro has revealed the best ways to get your clothes dry in no time.
Tor Rydder shared the speedy methods which will save you not just time but money as well as the hack means you won’t have to turn the heating on or the tumble dryer.
He said: “Today I want to show you how to dry your clothes fast. Now I’ve got two methods I want to share with you.
“I use these methods when I’m out travelling all the time. They work great in hotels But they will also work great at home if you’re in a hurry.”
The clever hack is perfect for busy parents in the morning who need to get school shirts dry in no time.
He revealed the first method was called the ‘burrito’ and explained step-by-step how to do it.
First, you want to lay down a dry towel on the floor, before laying the wet item of clothing on top.
Starting from the bottom of the top – you want to roll the top into a towel to create a burrito shape.
Once the T-shirt is wrapped into a tight roll – press down firmly for a few minutes.
Tor explained: “The reason we do this is that the towel will absorb all of the water from the burrito and once we unwrap it it will be a lot drier.”
While the T-shirt was mostly dry, he said to wear it immediately it needed to be dried out a little bit more.
To do this, he hung it up on a coat hanger and used a hair dryer to give it a quick blitz of hot air.
The YouTube video shared to his account, Organizing TV, has since gone viral with over 690k views and 7,000 likes.
People were quick to take to the comments and thank Tor for the savvy trick.
One person wrote: “I used these 2 methods, and my clothes was dry in 5 minutes!! Thank you soo much for this video!”
Another commented: “I was in a bit of a jam. This was brilliant! I don’t have a hair dryer, but I’m using a rotary fan to dry off two of my shirts. Thank you!”
How can you get your washing dry when it's raining outside?
DEALING with the British weather isn't ideal when it comes to trying to get clothes dry outside. But fear not, if it's raining then there are a few hacks you can try to get your laundry dry inside the house.
Curtain poles
If you put your clothes on hangers to dry, you can then hang the clothes from a curtain pole. This is an effective hack, but it’s important to make sure you’ve got a window open too, to promote ventilation and avoid a build up of mould.
Airers
There are a whole host of airers on the market, but the popularity of heated airers have risen dramatically in recent months. Many people swear by using a heated airer to get clothes dry quickly and evenly, without racking up loads on the energy bill by using a tumble dryer.
Dehumidifiers
While the main point of a dehumidifier is, as the name suggests, to reduce humidity in the room, they also work a treat to get clothes dry. In fact, many of the little machines have a laundry setting on them. And once again, using a dehumidifier won’t break the bank either, as they’re very energy efficient.
Radiator cocoon
If you’ve got your heating on, then creating a cocoon with a fitted sheet and your radiator can be a game changer. Simply place one end of the fitted sheet over the radiator, and place the other end so it’s entirely engulfing the airer. This will dry your clothes quicker, by keeping the hot air inside the cocoon, rather than letting it all escape.
Spin it
The majority of washing machine cycles end with a spin, but you can always give your laundry an extra spin before taking it out, to remove as much moisture as possible before you hang it up. It’s a hack that loads of people swear by when it comes to drying clothes inside.
“This is a fantastic video. This burrito method is quite cool and perfect for traveling. I am going to definitely try this when I go on vacation. Thanks for the great tip,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “The towel method worked like a charm.”
“This worked out sooooo well thank you so much,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Holy cow. Thank you so much. That towel hack is amazing.”
