Laundry hack that will dry your clothes in 'five minutes' and banish condensation
A laundry hack that promises to dry your clothes in 'five minutes' and banishes condensation has gone viral.
Attempting to dry clothes in wet wintry weather can be a real struggle. Trying to find spots around the house to hang clothes is such a hassle and more often than not, the clothes still take a long time to dry.
However, an organisation expert has now shared a nifty tip on social media that she claims will dry your clothes in as little as five minutes - and it doesn't involve putting the heating up full, a tumble dryer or waiting for better weather.

Tor Rydder told of the "burrito method" on Organizing TV, his YouTube channel. This clever travel hack is perfect when you're in a pinch and need something dried pronto, reports the Mirror.
It's pretty straightforward; all you require is a towel and some floor space. He instructs: "To do the burrito method, we place a newly washed T-shirt down on a towel. Then we start by folding the T-shirt over, like so." He proceeds to fold over medium-sized sections of the towel until the clothing item is snugly enveloped.
"Once we reach the top, we start stepping down on the towel," he demonstrates, applying pressure with his knees onto the rolled bundle. "The reason we do this is because the towel will absorb all of the water from the burrito. Once we unwrap it, it will be a lot drier."
For those not keen on using their body weight, he also suggests wringing out the 'burrito' as an alternative. After pressing or wringing out the excess moisture, simply unfurl the towel to retrieve your substantially drier T-shirt.
Tor shared a nifty trick for drying clothes quickly, saying: "I do find that this method will easily reduce drying time from overnight to a couple of hours," and added, "If you're in a hotter climate, you can probably wear it out and it'll dry on its own."
For those in cooler climates or short on time, he suggests: "putting the top on a hanger and blasting it with a hair dryer for a maximum of five minutes." If a hanger isn't available, laying it over a sink or chair works too. Fans were amazed by Tor's "burrito method" for speedy drying.
One fan confirmed its effectiveness: "I used these two methods and my clothes were dry in five minutes" while another exclaimed: "This man is a genius. You're a lifesaver."
