Always work with one garment at a time.
If you’re washing smaller garments, like underwear or socks, do a few items at a time. For larger clothing, like shirts or dresses, stick to 1 item per towel.
The excess water will pour out of the tube at the bottom of the spinner. When no more water comes out, you know your clothing is ready to go. Laundry spinners won’t dry your clothes completely, but they cut down on drying time immensely.
Sunlight will speed up the drying process, but it can also fade and damage fabric. If you’re going to dry your clothing outside, pick a shady area out of direct sunlight.
Laying clothing flat to dry is great for delicate items, like sweaters and dresses. Heavy fabrics, like wool, denim, canvas, and corduroy dry best laying flat. Try not to hang those items up, as it can stretch or warp them. To speed up the drying process, consider investing in a flat drying rack. The open air underneath your clothing will make everything dry faster.
Pat your clothing flat again to keep it from wrinkling as it dries. Thick, heavy garments, like wool sweaters, may need to dry for as long as 24 hours.
To speed up indoor drying, point a fan at your clothing. Try to hang-dry your clothes overnight.
Avoid hanging delicates or anything heavy, like wool, on a clothesline. Keep your clothesline out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
