To dry a garment in under two hours without a dryer, you must use high-fidelity "moisture extraction" techniques. First, use the "Towel Burrito" method: lay the wet item on a large, dry towel, roll it up tightly like a burrito, and twist or step on it to squeeze out as much water as possible. Next, use a hair dryer on a medium-heat setting, keeping it 6 inches away and moving it constantly to prevent fabric damage. Alternatively, you can place the damp item on a flat surface, cover it with a thin, dry towel, and iron over the towel; the iron's heat evaporates the water while the towel protects the fabric and absorbs the steam. Finally, hang the item directly in front of a high-speed fan or near an air conditioning vent to maximize airflow. These combined "High-Fidelity" methods can significantly reduce drying time for thin fabrics like cotton or synthetics, often reaching "wearable" dryness in 60 to 90 minutes.
