Hair dryer is great for drying clothes. Stick the end of the dryer up the tube of a heavy sock and watch the steam come out
I also carry about 15 feet of light nylon rope, which is useful for clothes line but also good if you want to tie up a bag of food and suspend it out your window to keep cold, in lieu of a fridge.
Irons are good to dry clothes too. They can also be used to warm bagel / bread. With patience, you can almost make toasted cheese sandwiches
When I traveled on the real cheap in Asia, I carried a 100 watt bulb, as the cheap hotels never had more than 40s.
