Many families do their dirty laundry at the weekend. If you don’t have a tumble dryer or garden, you’re probably familiar with the situation where the freshly washed laundry hangs on the drying rack for what feels like ages and just won’t dry. But this has now come to an end! A simple TikTok trend promises a shorter drying time. Read here how you can dry your laundry faster in your home to make room for the next load of laundry.
Drying laundry at home: these basics make all the difference
Before you search the internet for tricks to dry your laundry faster in your home, you should consider a few basics:
Insert an extra spin cycle
The drier the laundry comes out of the machine, the faster it will dry completely on the rack. For heavy fabrics such as jeans and towels, it can help if you insert an additional spin cycle.
Ventilate correctly
In a room with closed windows and doors, the moisture from freshly washed laundry cannot escape. Make sure you keep the windows and doors open so that your laundry can dry in your home.
Keep your distance!
Items of laundry that hang close together on the line dry more slowly than those that can move freely. So don’t hang your laundry too close together on the line.

Simple trick shortens the drying time
Have you considered all the basics and want to shorten the drying time of your laundry even further? Then this trick from the internet is just the thing for you! All you need is a nylon stocking 🛒 or a pair of nylon tights and some cat litter 🛒.
Fill the stocking with cat litter, tie a knot in it and hang the whole thing on the clothes horse together with your damp laundry. The cat litter draws the moisture out of the air – like a mini dehumidifier! This speeds up the drying process considerably, especially in small or poorly ventilated rooms.
Cat litter also has the advantage of neutralizing unpleasant odours. If your laundry smells a bit musty after washing, you can simply hang up the litter sock!
Tip: If you don’t have any cat litter to hand, you can also put rice in the nylon stocking. This also absorbs the moisture.
The trick with the cat litter is not only ingenious, but also extremely cheap and easy to implement. Try it out and your laundry will finally stop drying forever!
