Posting his hack to the TikTok account @- he revealed how to make your towels dry even faster by folding the wings of the airer over the towel once it was hung.
He explained: “If you have a heated electric airer and you’re trying to dry something fast, like a wet towel, that takes ages, what you do is fold the wings over and it will dry a lot quicker.”
This way, both sides of the towel will be getting lots of heat to speed up the drying time.
