WHILE we're all looking for different ways to cut energy bills during the cost of living crisis, it can be hard not to turn to the tumble dryer if you need your clothes dried fast.
However, Caroline Solomon - aka Neat Caroline - has shared an amazing method she frequently uses to reduce the manual drying time of clothes from overnight to just one or two hours.
It's called the "burrito method", as she explained in a video on her TikTok page.
"Here’s a really easy way to dry your clothes fast," she said.
"Lay a towel down flat, place your wet garment at the base here, and we’re going to do the burrito method."
All you need to do is grab the base of the towel and the garment and start rolling it up like a burrito.
Once it's in a long roll shape, you need to "press down on the towel with your knees to really wring out the moisture".
After you've wrung out as much moisture as possible, unroll the towel and take your garment out.
"You can just hang the shirt on the drying rack, it will dry in a couple of hours instead of overnight," she said.
"It’s a great method to try if you’re travelling, and you’ve hand washed something, or you don’t have a dryer home, or your dryer is broken."
But if you need your garment even quicker than that, Caroline suggests using a hairdryer to go over it, noting that it took her just one minute to get her T-shirt dry.
People were quick to praise Caroline for sharing the tip, with one writing: "Tried it with joggers and it worked!"
"Omg I tried it and it’s great thank you so much u just saved me," another added.
While a third commented: "I was doing this, but with a hand towel. A beach towel makes so much more sense!!!"
