i normally press but not wring the clothes to remove excess water before drip drying.

If anyone is not comfortable with this, especially with delicates, what u can do this to place the wet items flat on a bath towel n roll it up. This does a satisfactory job in removing excess moisture that might distort the shape of the garment as it drip dries.

You win, Robert. You win.
