For pet owners: Damp microfiber towels in the dryer help grab pet hair from clothes.
To reduce wrinkles: Throw a wet towel into the dryer with wrinkled clothes for a quick de-wrinkling effect—run the dryer for 10–15 minutes on medium heat.
To refresh stored clothing: Add a wet towel and a few drops of essential oil to a quick wash cycle to revive musty garments.
Eco-friendly version: Use reusable, dampened cloths instead of disposable dryer sheets to reduce static cling and enhance softness.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will the wet towel make my clothes damper or take longer to dry?
A: Not significantly. When used correctly, a damp towel won’t over-saturate your load. Just avoid overly soaked towels.
Q: Can I use this trick with delicate clothing?
A: Yes, but use a delicate or cold cycle and be sure the towel isn’t too rough or heavy.
Q: Does this trick work in the dryer too?
A: Absolutely! A damp towel in the dryer can reduce wrinkles and help redistribute moisture evenly for better drying.
Q: Why does it help with pet hair?
A: The moisture in the towel attracts hair and lint, preventing it from sticking to clothing and helping it collect on the towel surface instead.
