Place a dry towel on the floor before placing the wet garment on it.
Start from the bottom of the top: you’ll want to roll the top in a towel to create a burrito shape.
Once the T-shirt is wrapped into a tight roll, press it firmly for a few minutes.
Tor explained, “The reason we do this is so the towel will absorb all the water from the burrito and once we unwrap it, it will be a lot drier.”
Although the T-shirt was mostly dry, he said he had to wear it right away, it still needed to dry out a bit.
To do this, he hung it on a coat hanger and used a hair dryer to give it a quick blast of warm air.
The YouTube video shared on his account, Organizing televisionhas since gone viral with over 690,000 views and 7,000 likes.
People quickly responded to the comments, thanking Tor for the clever trick.
One person wrote: “I used these two methods and my clothes were dry in 5 minutes!! Thank you so much for this video!”
Another commented: “I was in a bit of a pickle. This was great! I don’t have a hair dryer, but I use a rotating fan to dry two of my shirts. Thanks!”
How do you get your laundry dry when it’s raining outside?
Dealing with the British weather is not ideal when it comes to getting clothes dry outside. But fear not: if it rains, there are a few tips you can try to get your laundry dry indoors.
Curtain poles
If you hang your clothes on hangers to dry, you can then hang the clothes on a curtain rod. This is an effective hack, but it’s important to make sure you also have a window open to promote ventilation and prevent mold from forming.
Chandeliers
There are a whole range of airers on the market, but the popularity of heated airers has risen dramatically in recent months. Many people swear by using a heated drying rack to dry clothes quickly and evenly, without adding to the energy bill of using a tumble dryer.
Dehumidifiers
Although the main purpose of a dehumidifier, as the name suggests, is to reduce the humidity in the room, they also work great for getting clothes dry. Many of the small machines even have a wash setting. And again, using a dehumidifier won’t cost much either because they are very energy efficient.
Radiator cocoon
If you have the heating on, creating a cocoon with a fitted sheet and your radiator can be a game changer. Simply place one end of the fitted sheet over the radiator and position the other end so that it completely envelops the ventilation grille. This makes your clothes dry faster, because the warm air stays in the cocoon, instead of it all escaping.
Turn it
The majority of washing machine cycles end with a spin cycle, but you can always give your laundry an extra spin before taking it out to remove as much moisture as possible before hanging it up. It’s a hack that many people swear by when it comes to drying clothes indoors.
“This is a fantastic video. This burrito method is pretty cool and perfect for travel. I’m definitely going to try this when I go on vacation. Thanks for the great tip,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “The towel method worked like a charm.”
“This turned out sooooo well, thank you so much,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Holy cow. Thank you very much. That towel hack is amazing.”
