Clothes hung at home, in the right place: here they dry in 10 minutes

Tricks to make your clothes dry faster in winter

Of all the precautions that can be taken to help dry clothes, one of the most important is the washing machine. Specifically, we are talking about an essential function, the spin cycle, which is sometimes underestimated, if not avoided, so as not to end up with excessively wrinkled garments that then require the subsequent plague of ironing. On the other hand, the spin cycle is a key element for fast drying. By removing excess water from fabrics with a good spin cycle, drying clothes will be much faster, especially if the spin is done at high speeds. In addition, if you take the clothes out of the washing machine and slap each piece hard and are careful to hang them well, you can also avoid subsequent ironing.

Además del centrifugado, que siempre debe adoptarse como método principal, el método más adecuado para un secado rápido consiste en colocar el tendedero directamente delante del radiador , un horno caliente o una chimenea (¡con el debido cuidado!). La ropa se secará rápidamente, lo que evitará la formación de malos olores provocados por la acumulación de humedad entre los tejidos. La distancia entre los elementos colgados también es muy importante . Muchas veces no pensamos en ello, pero si la ropa no tiene suficiente espacio y aire porque están superpuestas o muy juntas tardarán mucho más en secarse. Así que asegúrese de extender bien la ropa y colocarla plana sobre la cuerda.

Dónde colocar el tendedero en casa, el mejor lugar

As for the clothes hanging at home, the place where you place them is very important. In fact, the clothesline should be placed in a room that is not at all damp and that is easily ventilated. If you live in a house that has some dampness in every room, then the most suitable place for the clothesline is the bathroom. Here the heat emanating from the radiators and showers will make it easier to dry your clothes on the clothesline. Also, don’t forget to dehumidify the room where you’ll place the clothesline. No matter how dry it is, the cloths will still generate moisture that will be better absorbed, plus drying will be faster. If you don’t have a dehumidifier you can buy one of those with salts that change after a few weeks, or more just make one yourself.

150 grams of coarse salt will be enough to dehumidify an environment of approximately 25 m2, which can be reused several times after drying. To build a home dehumidifier, you can use the strainer method. You’ll need a container large enough to fit a colander with the coarse salt inside. Always against humidity you can use pink salt lamps, decorative and excellent for air quality.
