    Nice work. I think the stepping instead of wringing is meant to protect the fabric because wringing is pretty harsh on fabric. You won’t hurt it by doing it once but repeated wringing will shorten the life of the shirt. If you’re doing this only for travel maybe it doesn’t matter and probably speeds things up.

      thanks. and totally agree. i meant to use these shirts exclusively for travel (which i dont do too often) so i think wringing wont do much damage. those shirts were very cheap too (~ 3USD). glad i tested this method- i was always doubtful about this (dripping clothes, time, ease) but now i see that it is completely doable. no dripping at all and no need for a hanging line if there are (nonwood) edges in a room. the next night i tried to lay a shirt on a tables edge and it still worked.
