Sorry, this isn’t an update. I know I have been a bit negligent over the past few days, and I will post an update soon, I promise.
I needed to post about this, though, before I went to bed, as I won’t have time in the morning.
I have been neglecting a few things over the past few days, one of which being my laundry. I generally try to keep all my clothes clean and dry except for the ones I have on if possible (this consists of one pair of pants, one swimsuit, two t-shirts, one semi-formal shirt, a tank top, two pairs of underwear, and three pairs of socks). I wash everything that needs to be cleaned in the sink, and usually it averages out to about 3 items per day.
I didn’t do that yesterday, and therefore didn’t put anything out to dry, either (by out I mean in this case on the table near the window).
Its night time, and I’m leaving in the morning, and…until a few hours ago, I didn’t have a single shirt that didn’t smell like rats had peed on it. I wanted to wash one, but I didn’t think it would dry in no sun (moonlight just doesn’t cut it these days) and only a few hours.
I reluctantly soaked and washed my grey “American Eagle” shirt.
I put my air conditioner on, and balanced the shirt (with the aid of a few small heavy objects) in front of the “blow” portion of machine, thinking that the action would be somewhat close to wind, and hopefully help get some water out for the morning.
As I was getting up a few minutes ago, I checked the shirt. Still SUPER wet, and probabably almost as wet as when I put it on.
But wait…one sleeve was dry, completely dry. What the heck was going on? That sleeve wasn’t even on the blow side…it was on the “suck” si-…
And then it clicked.
I did a test, and put the other sleeve against the “suck” part of the grid covering the air conditioner. Within MINUTES it was COMPLETELY DRY.
So now, I have a completely (and I mean completely) dry shirt to wear tomorrow, in under 10 minutes of drying.
The air conditioner was sucking so much of the moisture out of the room (usually not something I’m excited about), when a soaking wet shirt is placed in front of it, it has no problem drying it in 5-10 minutes.
If you need a quick dry at night, now you know what to do. Turn on the air conditioner in your hotel room and cover the “suck” side (the side that doesn’t blow) with shirts.
More soon!
