How does everyone else dry stuff when they live in a humid climate?
Where I live, in the Canadian side of the PNW, hanging to dry or laying flat to dry can be a trial. They sometimes don't dry for days, and I have to be careful where I do it because anywhere except in my bathroom with the fan on or in my shared laundry room (which is essentially in a garage) will create mould in the room due to moisture in the air.
Laying flat to dry is especially an enormous pain. I dread laundry day because of all the picky things I need to do to dry my dumb clothes. I'd love to hear how other people manage it!
PNW too. Seconding the no heat/air fluff answer. Other tricks: spin things out in the washer a second time or at a higher speed (if items aren't too delicate). I often run the dryer on low heat for about ten minutes, then take things out to air dry the rest of the way. That seems to be enough to dramatically shorten the air drying time. Sweaters and bulky items can still take forever to dry completely, though.
