Can you dry clothes with a hair dryer?

[Anonymous]

My only legging was dirty and I cleaned the legging with soap but I'm staying in a hotel.
My only option is a hair dryer.

I hung it up on a towel and one of my clean clothes above it so it stays kinda warm.

It's 3 am and over a few hours I need to check out.

I want to start to use the hair dryer at 7 am, I hope it will help to dry the legging.

However, I want to start earlier but I dont want to wake up the others in the hotel.

Uh yeah I think using a hair dryer could totally work to dry your leggings! I've had to do weird stuff like that before when traveling too. As long as you keep it on the low setting so it doesn't get too hot, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Maybe open the bathroom door a crack too so the hot air can escape so it doesn't set off any fire alarms haha. I'd say start at 6:30am so you have enough time but it's still early enough that you hopefully won't disturb anyone. Just be real careful with it so you don't ruin your clothes or get in trouble! Fingers crossed it dries fast so you can get outta there on time. Let me know how it goes!

Omg thank you so much for telling me all this 🤗🤗 you're a lifesaver. I'm gonna start around 6:30 am just like your said. 🤗😇 I'm so glad to know that it will work. It's terrible that it happens like this

by the way how long will it take to make it dry?

No problem luv, happy I could help! Yeah that's a pain about the dirty clothes situation, been there before. As for how long it'll take, it really depends on a few factors - like how wet it is to start, material thickness, hair dryer power etc. But as a rough estimate, I'd say plan for 30-45 mins just to be safe. Check it every 10 mins or so and move the dryer around. The parts touching the towel will probably dry faster. As long as you go low/cool heat it shouldn't damage it. And don't forget to check underneath too! Just take your time with it and I'm sure it'll be dry before you need to check out. Let me know if you have any other questions! Fingers crossed it works out alright.

You were right! Thank you 😄

[Oliverlogan263]

No way, really? Amazing 😊, I'm so glad to hear it worked out for you! Nothing worse than being stuck with one wet item of clothing. Thanks for letting me know, it's cool to hear the hair dryer trick paid off. Always happy to help you out with laundry emergencies haha. Enjoy the rest of your trip luv!

Every hotel I have been to has a washing and drying service. Why bother yourself?

[Asker]

They don't do that there

[Cutegirl06]

Probably. But I think it would take a long time.

Yes but only for wet parts. Not full clothes

Yes you can, it just takes a while
