drip drying
Letting clothes hang
Drip drying is letting something dry by hanging it up and allowing water to drip off naturally, without wringing, spinning, or machine drying.
The method is gentle on delicate fabrics: The care label says drip dry only.
Drip-dry as an adjective describes fabrics designed to dry quickly without wrinkles when hung wet.
