Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Allow your clothes to complete the spin cycle. The spin cycle removes excess water from your clothes. This cuts down on the time that it takes to dry your clothes in the dryer.
Step2
Use bath towels to dry your clothes quickly. You can sop up some of the dampness with the towel before putting the item in the dryer, or place the towels in the dryer with the clothes to perform the same function.
Step3
Keep your loads light. If you overload your dryer, your clothes will take longer to dry. If you only need a couple of things dried quickly, put these items in first.
Step4
Set your dryer to high heat. Only use the lower heat settings to dry delicates and knits. Dry these items separately from the rest of your load.
Step5
Try not to open the dryer while your clothes are inside. If you keep checking on the clothes, they will take much longer to finish drying.
