This Is How You Dry Your Clothes Fast Even In Cold Weather

Nov 21, 2018 by apost team

We have all probably had this problem before: The laundry is wet and just won't dry. In summer it's easy-peasy, we put out the laundry on the balcony or the garden in the morning on the balcony or and take it back inside again in the evening and already our favourite T-shirt can be put on again.

In winter or even in autumn already the whole thing is not so easy. Apart from the fact that the sunny and warm days are numbered and we can therefore rarely hang our wet clothes outside, we also prefer to wear thicker sweaters and long trousers during the colder seasons.

The season of thin fabrics is over. So if you don't have a dryer at home, or just don't want to use it all the time, we have a few tips for you on how to prevent your laundry from being clammy in your laundry basement without ever really getting dry.

Tip Number One

If you dry your clothes inside your home the best thing to do is: Ventilate a lot! By letting lots of fresh air into your home, your clothes will not only dry faster, but you will also prevent mould from settling into your walls. If you don't take care of these things and keep your windows closed all the time, the humidity can keep and lead to mould growing inside your home and posing a health hazard.

Tip Number Two


Give your clothes space. Especially in winter it's useful to leave a bit more space between the clothes on your drying rack. This lets the air circulate more and dry the clothes faster. So try to wash fewer of your clothes at the same time, if you don't have enough space to spare.

Tip Number Three

Let's say the wheather is nice (even in autumn there's still a few nice and warm days). Put your clothes out into the sunshine. Yes, the risk of a sudden rainfall is bigger than in the summer, but it's always worth it to let the clothes get some fresh air. Even when your clothes start to freeze, they will dry off faster afterwards and be fluffy and soft.

Tip Number Four


Don't put your clothes on top of the heater. It sounds like a good idea, you have the heat on anyways after all and it's warm, why shouldn't you use it to dry your clothes faster? The answer is easy: There is a much higher chance for mould to set in, as using the heater causes even more humidity.

Tip Number Five

If everything doesn't work and you do have to use the dryer, then whe have a small but useful tip for your: Put an already dry terrycloth towel inside the dryer with your wet clothes. The towel will draw in the humidity of the wet clothes at first and then also be dried with the rest. This will make your clothes dry faster and you can be sure that everything will be soft and completely dry when you put it in your wardrobe.

When you iron your clothes as well, it's usually enough to get your clothes almost dry as ironing them will also dry them a bit as well.

So you don't have to despair during the cold season when your clothes take too long to dry. Of course this is easier during summer, but it's still possible. Show this article to your friends so they can also benefit from these tips for drying clothes.
