    Generally "No." A microwave's function is to heat things up via radiation, and do it by heating all the way through at the same time, basically from the inside out, not by heating just the surface inward, like a conventional oven. If you put wet clothes in a microwave, the water saturating the clothes will first heat up and boil. It'll be like you dumped the dry clothes into a pot of water on the stove and turned the burner on HIGH. The clothes will get extremely hot, and remain wet until the water is boiled away.
