Once the wash cycle is over, open the washing machine door and place a clean towel between the still damp laundry. One towel is sufficient for a half load; two towels are needed for a full load. Then close the door and start the spin cycle.
The towel method
A clean towel in the washing machine will make it easier to remove the water by absorbing it during the spin cycle. In fact, you'll find that the laundry is barely damp when the washing machine is finished. All that's left is to hang the clothes up properly, leaving a little space between them to allow air to circulate better and facilitate drying. Again, if possible, spread them out outdoors and in the sun. This way, your clothes will dry in just 15 minutes. If that's not possible, you can always hang out at home, perhaps setting up the clothesline in front of a radiator.
There are some items of clothing that can't be machine washed and must be hand washed, such as pure wool sweaters. What should you do in this case? The process is simple, and you'll always need a towel. After washing your sweater and wringing it out thoroughly, take a clean towel and spread it out on a shelf.
Spread the sweater out on the towel and begin rolling it tightly to absorb any remaining water. Roll the towel all the way up and press firmly to remove all the water from the sweater. Then unroll everything and spread out the "handspun" sweater.
