Laundry whizz reveals ‘burrito method’ to dry freshly washed clothes – it costs nothing and takes just five minutes

A LAUNDRY whizz has revealed how he dries his freshly washed clothes in just minutes and it’s so easy. 

Tor Rydder, from Norway, is a minimalist traveller turned home organiser and often uses his YouTube channel to share his top tips and tricks.

In one such video, he told his 27.2k subscribers that he had a two-step method to dry his clothes while abroad. 

Panning the camera onto the floor, he placed a white towel flat down before sharing the ‘burrito method’ with viewers. 

“We’re going to place our newly washed T-shirt here, down on the towel,” he said.

He then explained that you need to fold the towel over the T-shirt until it’s completely entwined. 

“Once we reach the top, we are going to start stepping down on the roll,” he went on, explaining that the towel would absorb all the moisture. 

Another option, he went on, is to wring the towel around rather than stepping on it. 

He shared: “However, I do not recommend using that method, especially not for more delicate items.” 

Unrolling the ‘burrito’, he said that it reduces the drying time from overnight to a few hours. 

“Now, if you’re in a hotter climate, you can probably wear it out and it will dry out on its own,” he continued. “But if you’re in a cold place, you need to dry it out a little more first.” 

The second step in this equation is to hang the shirt over a railing and use a hair dryer at the lowest heat to get the rest of the moisture out. 

“Just be aware that if you go too hot you may ruin your shirt,” Tor, who posts under the channel name 'Organizing TV', said.

People were quick to comment as one person wrote: “I used these 2 methods, and my clothes was dry in 5 minutes!! Thank you soo much for this video!” 

Another shared: “These methods were really smart. Definitely gonna try them next time I'm in a hurry and need to dry clothes fast!”

A third posted: “I was in a bit of a jam. This was brilliant! I don't have a hair dryer, but I'm using a rotary fan to dry off two of my shirts. Thank you!” 

“This is a fantastic video. This burrito method is quite cool and perfect for traveling. I am going to definitely try this when I go on vacation. Thanks for the great tip,” another shared.

While a fifth added: “Awesome, didn't get to do my washing over the weekend and now I need one of my work shirts to dry faster, of course there's no sun this morning.. thanks!”
