The trick with the iron

An unconventional but effective life hack for quickly drying clothes after washing is to use an electric iron. After you squeeze out the excess water from your clothes, lay them out on an ironing board or any heat-resistant, smooth surface.

The iron should be set to a low to medium heat setting and then gently ironed over the damp clothes. This method will evaporate any remaining moisture, thereby speeding up the drying process. However, care should be taken on delicate fabrics to prevent damage from excessive heat.
