A method for drying washed objects which is capable of drying the objects in a
reduced period of time, effectively preventing contamination of the objects, and
preventing energy loss. The apparatus for carrying on the method of drying washed
objects includes a drying tank having an opening on the upper portion thereof so
that the washed objects can be placed or taken out from above, and a rinsing tank
formed integrally with the drying tank, and is capable of being sealed hermetically
by closing an openable and closable lid. The drying tank includes a mist-straightening
vane for supplying organic solvent mist at normal temperatures to the washed objects,
so that the washed objects are dried by organic solvent mist emitted from the mist-straightening vane.
