  • If I had your problem, I think I would look at 4 potential solutions.

    1, vent-less dryer is obvious, but pricey 2. heavy duty dehumidifier, a quick amzn search suggests you can get something in the ~$100-$200 range 3. build an enclosure to run the vented air through a container with calcium chloride pellets, this should reduce moisture. maybe couple with #2, the pellets don’t remove moisture, they trap it, so it will evaporate eventually. 4. vent your garage, moving air through it will be the cheapest and least difficult. This may not be an option for you depending on your situation.

    A spin dryer can remove a lot of moisture from a load, but they are typically small. Never seen a family sized one, so I wouldn’t recommend that… you’d need 2 or 3 of them for large loads with cottons. If this does appeal use laundry alternative, panda isn’t quite as high a value. I’m single and I only use the spin cause I hang everything, no dresser. only takes 3 mins for ‘mostly dry’ clothes. Some people use clay (cat litter) on their garage floor to soak up oil, this would also absorb the moisture, but it will still evaporate over time just like the Calcium Chloride.
