Extra Spin, Warmth and Airflow Speed Up Indoor Laundry Drying in Cold, Rainy Conditions

Households are turning to practical drying hacks learned from appliance makers to keep laundry fresh when outdoor drying stalls.

Overview

  • Running an additional spin cycle on modern washers removes excess moisture before hanging clothes to dry.
  • Positioning drying racks near safe heat sources and leaving space between garments boosts air circulation and reduces mold risk.
  • Directing a fan toward indoor laundry or using a dehumidifier helps clear ambient humidity and accelerates evaporation.
  • Gently shaking and stretching each item before hanging prevents fabric bunching and promotes even drying.
  • For urgent needs, wrapping a garment in a dry towel and blow-drying on warm settings yields a single-item quick-dry solution.
