The towel trick: a small gesture, a big effect
You may have heard of this famous towel before, but never really tried. And yet, the idea is as simple as it is clever: slip a dry towel into the drum before spinning. Thanks to its absorbent material, it captures some of the moisture that remains in the clothes after the main cycle. The result? Laundry is much less humid when it comes out of the machine, so it dries much faster.
To make it really work, choose a fast spin, around 1,000 revolutions per minute. No need for more: the towel does the rest, like a small natural « water absorber ».
Why does it change your daily life?
This trick has a lot of charm: it doesn’t require any additional equipment, just a clean towel. And in an interior where every inch counts, avoiding a bulky dryer is a real relief. In addition, less humid laundry limits musty odors, reduces ambient humidity and preserves a pleasant interior even in the middle of winter.
And let’s be honest: shortening the drying time when you’re expecting a favorite pair of jeans or a child’s pajamas is a little everyday pleasure.
