The Napkin Trick: A Small Gesture with a Big Impact
You may have heard of this famous towel, 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, the towel absorbs some of the moisture left in your clothes after the spin cycle. The result? Much less wet laundry comes out of the washing machine, which means it dries significantly faster.
For best results, choose a high-speed spin cycle, around 1000 rpm. That’s all you need: the towel does the rest, acting as a small, natural “water absorber.”
Why will this change your daily life?
This trick is incredibly attractive: no extra equipment is needed, just a clean towel. And in a home where every inch counts, avoiding a bulky dryer is a real relief. Furthermore, drying laundry reduces musty odors, lowers humidity, and keeps the home comfortable, even in the dead of winter.
And let’s be honest: shortening drying times while you wait for your favorite jeans or kids’ pajamas is a little daily pleasure.
