T-shirts have become such an indispensable part of the wardrobe that often the need for a favorite item arises when it has not yet had time to dry after the next wash. But a wet T-shirt is not a reason to be upset and give up your usual and comfortable clothes: it can be dried quickly.
How to quickly remove moisture from a T-shirt
The less moisture there is in the clothes, the faster they will become completely dry. To remove excess moisture, clothes are carefully wrung out. You can make your usual push-ups more effective by using a washing machine or a terry towel.
Using the spin mode to remove moisture
Modern washing machines speed up the drying process. The spin mode available in the device allows you to get slightly damp clothes at the end. When setting the mode, care must be taken to ensure that excessively powerful operation of the unit does not destroy the structure of the fabric.
Recommended spin intensity parameters:
- products made from cotton fabrics - 800 rpm;
- products made of synthetic and mixed fabrics - from 1000 to 1200 rpm.
Reference! An increase in intensity to 1000 rpm is allowed if synthetic fibers in the fabric are at least 13%.
Using a terry towel
The main quality of a terry towel is its ability to absorb moisture well. This property helps speed up the drying of wet items. A towel is used to wrap a T-shirt in it.
Algorithm of actions:
- The unfolded towel is placed on a hard surface (table, floors).
- The T-shirt is placed on a towel.
- They make a twist by rolling the towel together with a T-shirt laid out on it into a tight roll.
Advice! You can roll the towel not with a roller, but with a tourniquet. At the same time, the product is additionally wrung out, which improves the work results.
Using household items and natural conditions to quickly dry T-shirts
Not only a thorough spin helps dry things quickly.
Traditional methods for drying clothes quickly
You can achieve good results using natural conditions and available household appliances.
Natural conditions
If conditions permit, a damp T-shirt should be hung outside to dry. The main thing is that the clothes are hung in the open sun. The presence of wind (draft) will be an additional factor that will make clothes dry in a short time.
Iron
You can speed up drying by using an iron. This usually takes no more than 10 minutes.
Algorithm of actions:
- Cover the ironing board with a terry towel to absorb moisture.
Important! When drying things with an iron, you can only put a towel on the ironing board that will definitely not fade under the influence of moisture and high temperature.
- Set the maximum temperature allowed for the fabric from which the T-shirt is made.
- Iron each section of fabric several times until it is completely dry.
- The ironed product is hung on hangers and left for a few minutes to allow the fabric to ventilate and cool.
Hairdryer
A hair dryer can create an artificial hot wind that will quickly remove excess moisture from T-shirts.
Algorithm of actions:
- The wet T-shirt is carefully hung on hangers.
- The hair dryer is set to the “hot air” mode.
- The T-shirt is treated with lemon water. Add lemon juice (2-3 drops) to water (0.5 l) and mix. Then the liquid is poured into a spray bottle and sprayed onto clothing.
- A stream of hot air is directed onto the T-shirt, gradually drying the entire fabric. The treatment is carried out for 10-15 minutes.
- To dry, you can leave the fabric on the hanger for another 10 minutes.
Reference! Lemon water will prevent the item from drying out too much, causing the fabric to become stiff.
Heat fan
A fan heater is used using the same principle (blowing hot air). To ensure safe drying, do not leave clothes on the appliance while it is on. There should be a small distance between the fabric and the parts of the device to prevent things from touching the heated device.
Electric dryer
Purchasing an electric dryer will require some expenses, but it will save you from long waits while drying things. The dryer will do a great job with a damp T-shirt and other things in 5 minutes. The clothes will not stretch or lose their shape. It will be especially useful for families with small children.
Unusual ways to quickly dry T-shirts
To dry a T-shirt in a short time, you can use kitchen appliances.
Oven
The oven is used as a source of warm air.
Algorithm of actions:
- The oven is heated to a temperature of 150–180°.
- The T-shirt is hung on the back of the chair. Another option: the T-shirt is hung on hangers, which are secured to the back of the chair so that the T-shirt hangs behind the back.
- After heating, open the oven. The chair with clothes is brought closer to the oven so that the hot air removes moisture.
Microwave
Some owners of T-shirts manage to dry them using an extreme method - in a microwave, which is set to the heating mode. The clothes are left in the microwave for 30 seconds. This method has limitations.
- It is most convenient to use a microwave for drying small children's T-shirts.
- You can only dry clothes in the microwave that do not have metal fittings.
Useful tips for drying T-shirts quickly and efficiently
- To ensure that the process of caring for items is safe for them and does not lead to changes in structure or shape, you should carefully study the recommendations for drying items and fully follow them.
- Do not place clothing on radiators or electric heaters. They will not ensure uniform drying of the fabric and will lead to deformation of the drier areas.
- It is not recommended to dry clothes over a gas stove. This can damage the structure of synthetic fibers that are included in the fabric or used for finishing seams. Heating and the release of vapors from gas combustion can tighten synthetic threads, causing the product to lose its quality appearance.
Important! It is not safe to use electric heaters that are not designed for drying wet clothes. Failure to function properly may result in short circuits and electrical injury.
