The Towel Trick: A Small Gesture, a Big Impact
You may have heard of this famous towel trick, but never tried it. Yet the idea is as simple as it is ingenious: place a dry towel in the drum before the spin cycle. Thanks to its absorbent material, it absorbs some of the moisture left in your clothes after the main cycle. The result? Laundry that’s much less damp when it comes out of the washing machine and therefore dries much faster.
For it to really work, choose a fast spin cycle, around 1,000 rpm. That’s all you need: the towel does the rest, acting as a natural water absorber.
Why does it make a difference in your daily life?
This trick is incredibly attractive: it requires no extra equipment, just a clean towel. And in a home where every inch counts, avoiding a bulky dryer is a real relief. Furthermore, drier laundry reduces musty odors, lowers humidity, and keeps the house pleasant even in the dead of winter.
And let’s be honest: shortening drying times when you’re waiting for your favorite pair of jeans or your child’s pajamas is a small daily pleasure. Using just the washing machine doesn’t require extra energy or additional appliances. It’s good for the planet, good for your wallet, and perfect for simplifying your daily routine. A simple gesture, a simple object, and your routine becomes smoother, faster, and more enjoyable.
