Dry Clothes Faster by Adding a Dry Towel

The Problem

Full loads take forever to dry, especially heavy items like jeans and towels.

The Hack

Toss a clean, dry towel in with your wet laundry. Remove it after 15-20 minutes (it'll be damp). Continue drying the rest.

Why It Works

The dry towel immediately absorbs moisture from surrounding wet clothes through contact, distributing water across more surface area for faster evaporation.

Pro Tips

• Remove the towel after 15-20 min — otherwise it just gets wet and adds time
• Works especially well with heavy denim loads
• Saves about 15-20% drying time per load
• Combine with dryer balls for maximum efficiency
