Yes, tossing a clean, dry bath towel into a residential clothes dryer alongside a wet load of laundry during the first fifteen to twenty minutes of a cycle can help absorb excess moisture and speed up overall drying times. The dry fabric acts as a sponge, quickly soaking up free moisture from damp garments and increasing tumbling friction. However, you must remember to remove the damp towel after twenty minutes so it does not trap humidity as the load continues heating. You can troubleshoot moisture absorption easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when adding a dry towel shortens the initial drying phase and helps garments release water vapour more efficiently.
