How Every Washing Machine Can Dry Laundry (And Most People Don’t Know!)

Did you know that many modern washing machines come with a hidden drying function? Most people only use their machines for washing, unaware that a few tweaks can actually help dry clothes faster—or even completely. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Check Your Machine’s Settings

Many washing machines have:

Spin-only cycles: These remove excess water from clothes, making air-drying much faster.

Delicate or wool cycles with heat: Some machines can gently dry fabrics using warm air.

Washer-dryer combo settings: If your machine is a combo, there’s often a “dry” or “cotton dry” option.

2. Use the Spin Function Efficiently
