GETTING your clothes to dry during the harsh winter months when hanging them outside is no longer an option can often feel like a never-ending battle. But as the temperatures are plummeting, one savvy woman has come to rescue with an easy hack - one that will slash the drying time significantly.

The "game-changing" method, posted online by TikToker Tee @tee_diaz01, promised that your wet washing will be dry in just 15 minutes - and there's no need to fork out money for a pricey tumble dryer. According to the cleaning fan, this is because she used two tricks, including a special DIY dryer she had put together using a range of household items you most likely already have.

First, in the clip, Tee was seen "smacking" the freshly washed garments on the side of the bath, before getting crafty and constructing the dryer. She used a laundry basket with holes in it and hung up some of her laundry on coat hangers that were inside the basket.
Once done, Tee enclosed the basket in a large laundry bag, leaving a gap at the top. The next step was to insert a hair dryer into the hole and give her washing a quick 15-minute blast of hot air, which she claimed was enough to ensure the clothes inside are completely dry.
Tee noted the hack comes in extra handy when you need an item of clothing urgently, as it should help it dry in no time. Before you put the trick to test, however, you should ensure that your laundry basket is heat resistant - otherwise you could risk warping the plastic with the heat from the hairdryer.
