I know i've read of people doing this, i think i would use some string or yarn, run it through the hose and tie a paper towel to it and pull it through

A paper towel will leave lint. Don't use that. A soft cloth will work.

No need to dry the hose, really. It is just water! Think of it as extra humidity.

Thanks.

I'll probably live with it as I don't have any string or cord that I trust.

Hang it over a door until it's time to use it, using it will finish drying it out. Nothing else is needed, it's only water, gravity can work if we let it. Jim
