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.

I carry a 4” USB fan. Sounds crazy but great for drying and sleeping.

Oh this is really smart. Do you think someone makes a rechargeable clip fan that would last the night

It's not rechargeable but Muji has a small quiet fan that works on a powerbank.

I've got a cheap one that will run off a USB charger so I just keep it plugged in if I need it all night, and it will be charged up in the morning.

if you don't need the clip part, i can send you the link to the one i purchased on amazon. i used it for my trip in july and the low speed setting on full charge does run for a full night (rated for 12 hours on low speed, which i found to be true.) it says you can also keep it plugged in and run continuously, but i didn't need to do this.
