Drying clothes during the colder months can feel near impossible, but you’ll save time and frustration this winter using a little-known hack that dries clothes in a fraction of the time. Clothes seem to dry instantly in the summer months when the sun is out and temperatures lend themselves to household chores like laundry. For everyone dreading another winter grappling with damp washing , this easy trick is calling your name.

Popular decluttering influencer, Nicola Lewis, shared her best tips on her Instagram page @thisgirlcanorganise, where nearly 200k followers use her content to up their home-makeover game, the Mirror reports. The tip comes as energy costs are increasing, and some dryers can even use up to £1.76 per cycle , which can quickly accumulate.

In a recent video, Nicola revealed a “secret” washing machine feature that every home in the UK should know about heading into this autumn. The Instagram reel begins with Nicola dialing her washing machine to the "Drum/Spin" setting, accompanied by the caption "Double Spin for the Win." Nicola says that her tip ensures your clothes will be drier straight out of the washing machine.

After the wash cycle finishes, she leaves her clothes in the drum and runs a spin cycle. This setting doesn’t add any water but the extra spin pulls moisture from the clothes. The caption on Nicola’s Instagram reads: “Double spin your laundry! Your clothes will come out much drier allowing them to dry quicker.

Always give your clothe.
