Affordable Winter Hack: Salt, Chalk, and Newspapers Can Reduce Dampness Indoors

Drying clothes becomes a huge challenge once winter is around the corner. With less sunlight, increased humidity, and drying indoors can take all day long. Not always can one afford to run a heater or dryer. Thankfully, a simple household item can rid you of this stress in just minutes. Learn how this straightforward winter hack will have your clothes dried quickly-even in the harshest cold-without a heater.

Salt naturally absorbs moisture. When clothes are dried within the house, the extra moisture in the air slows down the drying process. In this case, putting a bowl of salt in the room draws moisture from the air. Once the humidity is reduced, the clothes dry quickly.

If you're drying wet clothes in a bedroom, drawing room, or other small room, place one or two bowls of salt in a corner. Within a few hours, you'll notice a difference: the room feels less damp, and clothes dry faster than before.
