Waiting hours for your laundry to dry can be frustrating, especially when you’re in a hurry or when humidity slows the process. However, there are simple and accessible methods to speed up drying without resorting to an energy-consuming dryer. Whether you live in an apartment without a balcony, or the weather isn’t on your side, here are some effective tips for drying your laundry in just 2 hours.
-
Optimize the spin cycle from the wash
Poorly spun laundry will inevitably take longer to dry. If you’re using a washing machine, consider setting a high-speed spin cycle (at least 1200 rpm for cotton and durable fabrics). Less water retained means faster drying.
No washing machine? Don’t panic! To spin dry by hand, wrap your clothes in a clean towel and squeeze firmly. The towel will absorb excess moisture, speeding up the process.

The absorbent towel method: a real drying accelerator
Do you have an item of clothing you need to wear quickly? Try this trick:
- Place your wet laundry flat on a large, dry towel.
- Roll the towel with the laundry inside, like a roll.
- Squeeze firmly to absorb as much water as possible.
- Immediately unroll and hang your garment to finish drying.
This method is particularly effective for thick fabrics like jeans or towels.
