A common question about washing machines is whether they can rival dedicated home appliances for drying laundry. Many control panels hide functions that aren’t obvious, and those hidden features may unlock results beyond the obvious wash cycle. Some homes discover clever hacks that let a washing machine take a step toward drying clothes without needing a separate dryer.
Most modern machines include several drying programs, yet a large portion of models still lacks a true built in dryer option. For many users, the choice is between relying on a dryer or letting clothes air dry. This distinction matters because it influences energy use, convenience, and the time spent on laundry day.
How to clean the black tire of the washing machine?
The trick: with just a towel
This method centers on placing a towel inside the drum during a cycle. After the towel is in place, load the clothes and run a high spin at maximum power. The towel helps absorb moisture from the drum area, which reduces the amount of moisture that remains on fabrics after the cycle finishes. As a result, the laundry emerges with less dampness, making the subsequent drying step easier and shorter. The approach does not guarantee completely bone-dry clothes in every case, but it can noticeably reduce dampness and shorten the overall drying time.
This approach not only saves time but also lowers energy consumption compared with longer or hotter drying cycles. It offers a practical way to improve efficiency and reduce costs when handling laundry without adding extra appliances.
