What happens to the water when wet clothes dry'? (AS3)

When wet clothes dry the liquid present on the surface of the clothes keeps escaping from the surface till the entire liquid disappears into the air by the process of evaporation. This process is aided when we have a windy day with dry atmosphere as it helps to carry the molecules away from the cloth more rapidly.
