How to Make Clothes Dry Faster Without a Dryer

Drying Indoors

• 1

  Run the clothes through a second spin cycle after they have been washed in your washing machine. This will help pull out more moisture than just running them through 1 spin cycle.

• 2

  Set up a clothesline or a clothes-drying rack in the warmest, most open area of your home, preferably in an area where you can open windows or a door for extra ventilation.

• 3

  Spread the clothing on the line, using clothespins to secure them, or spread them out on the drying rack. Don’t let the clothes hang bunched closely together or they won’t dry as quickly. Keep at least 1 inch of air space in between each article.

• 4

  Place a fan 3 to 4 feet away from the clothing. Direct it so that the air will blow on the clothing and turn the fan on. Open all doors and windows to the room as well to aid air flow.
