IF YOU don’t have a tumble dryer in your home, or just want to save some cash, there’s a clever way to quickly dry wet clothes without one.
All you need is a towel and a normal clothes horse for the clever trick.
Caroline Solomon is a cleaning and organising whizz who often shares her best tricks and tips on TikTok.
Her clothes drying hack wowed viewers and there’s a good reason why.
So if you’ve got a big event and forgot to get your favourite top out of the washing machine in time, fear not.
Simply lay out a large towel and place the wet item on top of the towel, making sure that is is completely flat.

The pro said: “I call this the burrito method, grab the base and just roll it up.
“Then you’re going to press down on the towel burrito to wring out excess moisture.”
Caroline recommended using your knees to make sure you can squeeze out every drop of water, rather than using your hands.
After that just hang up to air dry as normal.
If you can’t wait an hour, make use of your hairdryer and blast the item with some hot air.
“It’s a great method to use if you’re travelling and you’ve hand washed something, or if you don’t have a dryer at home.”
The cleaning whizz said: “It should be dry in an hour rather than over night.”
Viewers loved the clever trick, one said: “I was doing this but with a hand towel, a beach towel makes so much more sense!”
Another quipped: “Going to have to give this one a go for sure.”
