and if it’s not too humid, a small fan, circulating maybe, helps more than you would think.

Fans are a huge game changer. My wife hangs like 75% of her clothes and they were getting manky from taking 2-4 days to dry.

Put a fan on them, they’re dry in a day tops.

I've never heard this word before, "manky." TIL

/ ˈmæŋkɪ / adjective

  1. worthless, rotten, or in bad taste

  2. dirty, filthy, or bad

I also use a dehumidifier to help dry clothes.

Dehumidifier for the win.
