In wintry conditions it's common to wonder if your laundry on the line or
00:05
hanging inside is still damp or just cold. Cleaning experts Cleanology have
00:12
offered three easy tips to check if your clothes are truly dry. Feeling that
00:17
something is wet is actually quite a feat because our skin does not have
00:22
receptors that sense wetness. Your lips though can tell the difference between
00:28
moisture and cold better than your hands can. So plant one on your laundry and
00:34
you'll know whether or not it's finished drying. Hold the clothing against a
00:40
mirror. The slightest moisture will cause it to fog up. Crystal clear mirror your
00:45
clothes are good to go. Take a paper towel and dab it over the clothes. If it
00:51
comes away damp your clothes need more time to dry.
