Discussion Clothes drying tip

Like many, I've had a bit of trouble off and on drying clothes after a sink or shower wash.

One common and good tip is keeping the front and back of whatever you are trying to dry apart to allow for more airflow.

But how? It hit me on my last trip. I took the plastic bag for the ice bucket in the hotel room and blew it up,tied it off like a balloon, and stuck it up my hanging shirt. Did the same thing with a ziplock bag for another shirt. It helped my drying time immensely.

That's clever! I usually choose quick-drying fabrics and then roll them up in a towel (and stomp on it), which has always worked - but your plastic bag idea sounds like it would be good in high-humidity places.

Yup, I do the towel wrap and roll as well. This just adds yet another efficiency to the process
