Hang dry them instead of using the drier.
If you don't have a lot of space, use your shower curtain rod or buy a foldable clothes rack (AmazonBasics Foldable Drying Rack - White )
Also, I'm fairly certain that you posted this in the wrong subreddit.

It's a bit smaller than a regular load. The washer holds about twice as much as the dryer, so you have to do two drying cycles for each wash load. It sounds like a lot, but the wash cycle is only 15 minutes max (i usually set it to 12 minutes) and the dry cycle is 5 minutes max (i usually do 4 minutes). The big limitation for this is drying space. I can usually only do a load a day, or one in the morning and one at night because of drying space. I have one fold up drying rack like the one below and one drying clip thing like this:

I've been machine washing for 3 years with no issues.

I bought this one for my 1BR apartment and its great
Hand washing is the approach I take with silk as well, and you seem to have a good set up so far. I fill a basin with cool water, squeeze in some Soak or Eucalan (lately I've been using Soak), and swish the detergent around with my hand. Next, I gingerly place the garment into the water and let it soak. I tend to go garment by garment because I'm worried about colors bleeding and whatnot. The garment gets about 10-15 minutes of soak time. During this time I set up a drying rack and nab a clean towel. When the soak time is over, I lay the garment on the towel on a flat surface and roll it up slowly and gently squeeze to absorb water. I then put it on the drying rack to dry.
Air drying is mostly about airflow, the more of your garment is exposed to air the quicker it will dry. I lay my knits out on something like this and they dry pretty quickly even in the cooler months

Unrelated but important. If you keep hanging your shirts like that to dry you're gonna end up stretching the fabric. I recommend getting a collapsable drying rack like this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H7P1GPO/ref=zg_bs_695488011_1/145-1400436-4700969?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D0TWH9KPCHQ9MD6QB5MJ
Hang dry pretty much everything, with t-shirts being an exception. You can do it inside with hangars, but I recommend a drying rack.
Edit: I dry tshirts for 15 in the dryer and then hang dry the rest.
Maybe buy a spin dryer for the clothes. This is the one I have but you can find other brands that I am sure will work just as well. Put it in the bathroom, give her a demonstration on how to run it and wring the clothes in it.
Maybe get a clothes drying rack (this is the one I have and I love it!) for when she is done full-clothes showering and wringing out her clothes.
Then drop the subject of why she is showering with clothes on and focus on the part about leaving huge puddles of water all over the bathroom as that is the real risk here. Someone could slip and fall and end up with a concussion or get knocked unconscious.
A drying rack + a couple closet organizers works for me.
Wash in cold water and hang up to dry. You'll never need to worry about shrinkage again, since dryers are responsible for virtually all of the shrinking. If you find the clothes are a bit stiff after the hang dry, put them in the dryer on the "fluff" or no heat setting with a dryer sheet added. If you lack space for hang drying, you can get something like this. But to answer your question, I think the shirt is a touch too slim even pre-wash, but you could wear it no problem.
As a rule, men's clothing is not made of delicate fabrics like women's, and can just be chucked in the washer and dryer on any old setting. As a result, it's REALLY HARD to train guys to read the tags on your stuff when they're doing laundry. You can ruin a lot of bras and sweaters that way.
Pro laundry tip:
I bought a bunch of zip-up lingerie bags on Amazon. Now all my "don't throw this in the dryer" clothing goes in those bags, and it's super easy for my husband to set them aside when he's switching laundry from the washer to the dryer. (Then I hang those items on a collapsible rack to air dry.)
Ive always lived in small apartments so I do laundry in the morning and hang it to dry through the day and put it away in the evenening or next day. Here are some of the types of drying racks Ive used (you can buy them at walmart or target for maybe less):

Get a folding clothes rack like this one and keep it in your closet. It means you can't wash too much at once, but it's better than nothing.
My girlfriend is really into air drying and she used to just put it like over the shower, since our washer and drier are in the bathroom.
Ended up just buying this since she runs out of room pretty fast:

Yeah with the extra spin taking out of a lot of the excess water, most my stuff feels relativity dry by the time I put in the drier.
You know what would also work. And I'll confirm this. Currently buying 2 more.
But I think this would work great.

I'm thinking one by itself, you can use it in three ways. Put a very thick blanket on top of it and you can actually :
​
But I'm thinking.......three would be awesome. And it's $17 each. So if you get three of those. One in front. One on the left. One on the right. And layer it with blankets, it should work. For added sound absorption, add blankets on the top too connecting all three. It could serve as a huge blanket fort or it could basically serve as a huge sound absorber on all areas. I'll confirm this on Wednesday but it should work. This would be cheaper and less hassle than a PVC booth.
I use something like this. I dry all my merino wool items on there as well. If you dry you boxers to much they will start to pill.
Nah, I just use a regular old foldable drying rack, like this. I might have more success with a better/advanced drying rack but this has worked fine for me for years. My games are usually at night, so I come home, shower, then set up the drying rack and leave it overnight. By morning it is usually dried out enough. The bathroom smells for for a few more hours after removing the equipment but its contained and my morning shit smells worse.
The other poster's idea about adding a dehumidifier also sounds like a good idea and I might try that.
> ... than sticking a TV on the door of a refrigerator.
Don't buy them.
> However, if I could actually dry some clothes in a dryer that didn't make the disk on my electric meter spin at the speed of light?
Here is a solution which will make your electric meter stop spinning: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Foldable-Drying-Rack-White/dp/B00H7P1GPO/
> I mean, when was the last time anyone did anything innovative with a washer and a dryer? Or a dishwasher? Or a stove?
They do. The most energy efficient dishwashers, dryers and washing machines need around half the energy than models from 10 years ago. As for your stove ... we are already quite good in transforming electric energy into heat. There is not much you can improve.
I had a combo washer/dryer and the dryer stopped working. So I bought a drying rack to hang dry towels, socks and underwear and a garment rack to dry pants and shirts on hangers. This drying rack and this garment rack are similar to the ones I bought.
Get yourself a drying rack and set a fan next to it. Mainly for your clothes but it works for shoes and helmets too.
I use this, works well for me
Foldable drying racks - they take very little place when not fully executed and dry a good bit of clothes when they are

Cold Water and do not use the dryer. Hang them one something like this

Great idea. Seems like something I should have thought of. I was trying to be too specific to MF towels :).
Something similar to this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7P1GPO
Just want to make a suggestion. Nothing wrong with wanting to save money on drying clothes, but can I suggest a rack to do it indoors? Like this one from Amazon.
