A CLEANING fan has just discovered that she's been drying her jeans all wrong - and has found a much quicker way to get them dry.

Trish realised her usual technique, which involved folding the jeans so the back pockets faced outwards and weaving them through the rail, wasn't the best method.

she shared a video demonstrating her new drying discovery.

"I was today years old when I realised that I was hanging my pants all wrong," Trish said.

She demonstrated the "usual" way and urged people to stop using it.

Then, she showed her "new" technique, which she believes also saves space on the drying rack.

Instead, Trish folds her jeans so both legs are together, then weaves them through the rails with one side on the drying rack. 

Finally, she lifts one end of the jean leg and places it to the other side of the rail.

This simple change has made a big difference in how quickly her jeans dry.

Her video gained a lot of attention with over 56,000 likes and over 1,330 comments.

Tackling laundry in the winter can be a challenge, but these handy tips can help you stay on top of it:

  • Use a Dehumidifier: Place a dehumidifier in your drying area to speed up the drying process and prevent dampness.
  • Spin Cycle Boost: Run an extra spin cycle on your washing machine to remove excess water from clothes, reducing drying time.
  • Indoor Drying Rack: Invest in a good-quality indoor drying rack and position it near a radiator or in a well-ventilated room.
  • Tumble Dryer Balls: Add tumble dryer balls to your dryer to help clothes dry faster and reduce static cling.
  • Space-Saving Hangers: Use space-saving hangers or a retractable washing line to maximise indoor drying space.
  • Microfibre Towels: Lay microfibre towels over your drying rack to absorb extra moisture from hanging clothes.
  • Partially Dry Outside: On dry days, hang clothes outside for a short period before bringing them in to finish drying.

These hacks can help you keep your laundry routine efficient and your clothes fresh, even during the colder months.
