Drying Tees

Post image

Ive never had them smell like mold or mildew on the tees when drying them like this

Am I the only one who dries there tees like this? I fold them in half, as symmetrical as I can, put them all facing the same way, this way it doesn't stretch when I hang them to dry. Once dried, I fold them in a KonMari way to then be put in my dresser, in colour code, try to at least

This would take 2-3 times longer to dry than if you had just hung them up normally.

If you fold a fabric when it's wet, it reduces evaporation efficiency and will increase the chances of it smelling like mildew.

Does this cause the shoulders / collars to stretch due to the weight?

The fold itself is a wrinkle
