“Does blowing a regular fan (not a heater fan) on a wet clothing item accelerate the drying process?”

The drying process is evaporation. The amount of water that the air around a drying garment (or any other object) will absorb in a certain amount of time is partially dependent on how much moisture it already holds. In still air, the air around a drying object will be more humid than air further away. With a fan or the wind moving the air, the object will be surrounded by fresh air on a continuing basis so the air around it will be dryer and the area will absorb moisture faster.

All of that is to say, “Yes.”
