The Napkin Trick: Small Gesture, Great Effect
You may have heard of this famous towel, but never tried it yourself. The idea is as simple as it is ingenious: place a dry towel in the drum before spinning. Thanks to its absorbent material, it absorbs some of the remaining moisture in the laundry after the centrifugal cycle. The result? The laundry comes out of the machine much less damp, and therefore dries much faster.
For optimal results, choose a high-speed centrifugal device with approximately 1,000 revolutions per minute. Nothing more is necessary: the towel does the rest, acting as a small, natural “water absorber.”
Why does it change everyday life?This trick is incredibly practical: you don’t need any additional equipment, just a clean towel. And in a household where every inch counts, ditching the bulky dryer is a real relief. Furthermore, dry cleaning reduces musty odors, lowers humidity, and ensures a pleasant indoor climate even in the deepest winter.
And let’s be honest: a shorter dry season when you’re waiting for your favorite jeans or your child’s pajamas is a small, everyday luxury.
