So obviously you have to get the fan off the ground or otherwise the fan couldn't suck air? I like my method a lot, but not all people have a floor dryer type blower. I turn my rigid floor dryer on high then vise grip the opening of the mitt right to the opening. (I only use merino wools) The air blow directly inside it and it kind of looks like a balloon. It completely dries them on a warm day in 1-2 hours. For pads this looks like a real good idea though.
