AIR drying clothing in the winter can be incredibly time-consuming, but this little hack can save you hours.
If you don’t own a dryer, you’ll be all too familiar with the feelings of dread that arise as winter rolls in.
Clothes take forever to dry and fill up so much space hanging indoors, surrounded by dehumidifiers.
But a quick trick known as the “burrito method” can help soggy garments dry much faster – and it won’t cost you an extra penny.
All you need to give it a go are your wet clothing items, some towels, and yourself.
The burrito method for drying laundry involves taking damp items of clothing one by one and rolling them up in a dry towel (like a burrito).
Once your clothing item is inside of the burrito, all you need to do is apply pressure to the towel to help absorb excess water.
You can do this in many ways, from sitting weighted objects on top of the burrito, squeezing it with your hands, or even standing on it.
Though it’s important to note that any materials prone to creasing may come out needing a once-over with the iron.
After applying pressure, you’ll notice that your towel will be damp as it’s drawn moisture out of your clothing.
Now when you resume air drying as normal, it will take far less time to complete.
Don’t forget to switch your towels out every now and again so you aren’t applying wet towels onto wet clothing.
Otherwise the hack won’t work.
