ELI5: When dry clothes are hanging on the radiator, what happens to all that heat energy?

I just feel that the room doesnâ€™t heat up when I forget to remove the dry clothes from the radiator.
In fairness, I donâ€™t even know the process of drying clothes on a radiator, either. (My school didnâ€™t teach physics at all but Iâ€™m trying to learn)
