I’ve had the same issue—half flush just doesn’t have enough power, especially for anything more than, like you said, “a bit of tissue.” I ended up twe...

Tried the rice-in-a-sock trick a couple winters ago when my old boot dryer died. Honestly, it worked okay for smaller stuff like gloves, but took fore...
