"A few years ago, I scored a free salad spinner from my local Buy Nothing Facebook group. I was excited to start eating more package-free lettuce - but admittedly, my follow-through on the greens front hasn't been great. So when I saw an Apartment Therapy story about using a salad spinner in the bathroom, my ears perked up. Not only did it sound like a helpful hack, but it also felt like an eco-friendly way to give an underused kitchen tool a second life. So, I took my salad spinner for a spin in the bathroom."
"Whenever I take a bath, I use a few washcloths under my head as a pillow, and am left with heavy, sopping-wet towels. I took one of my dripping washcloths and placed it in the salad spinner. After spinning for about 30 seconds (not a bad arm workout!), I was shocked at how much water had collected in the bottom of the bowl."
"I poured the water out and spun the cloth again, which pulled out even more. By the end, the washcloth felt much lighter and completely stopped dripping. I hung it over a towel bar to finish drying, and compared to wringing it out by hand, the salad spinner method felt both easier and noticeably more."
A salad spinner functions like a mini spin cycle that whirls items to pull water into a bottom bowl, making it useful beyond the kitchen. Placing damp washcloths, loofahs, towels, or small clothing items in a spinner removes a surprising amount of water in seconds. Repeating a short spin further reduces moisture until items stop dripping and feel much lighter. Using a spinner cuts down drying time, is easier than wringing by hand, and can help reduce mildew in humid bathrooms. A spinner can also serve as a compact alternative for small laundry or rinsing tasks.
