FOLDING YOUR LAUNDRY PROPERLY

Folding your laundry may seem like a trivial task, but did you know that the way you fold your clothes can have an impact on the organization of your wardrobe, the preservation of your clothes and even your state of mind?

STEP 1: SORTING AND PREPARATION

Before you start folding your laundry, it’s important to sort it out first. Separate clothes by category (tops, pants, underwear, etc.) to simplify the folding process. Also make sure that clothes are clean and dry, to avoid unpleasant odors or unwanted stains when folding.

STEP 2: THE BASICS OF FOLDING

Start with the largest garments, such as sheets or towels. Fold them along the natural lines of the fabric, ensuring that the edges are straight and the corners aligned. Then move on to smaller garments, such as T-shirts or pants.

STEP 3: SPACE OPTIMIZATION

To save space in your drawers or closets, use organizational tricks like vertical folding. This method involves folding clothes so that they stand upright, rather than stacking them on top of each other. This makes it easier to view and access clothes, while maximizing the use of available space.

STEP 4: BEWARE OF DELICATE FABRICS

Some fabrics, such as silk or lace, require special care when folding. Use tissue paper or protective sleeves to prevent creasing or snags. Take the time to fold these items with care, handling them delicately to preserve their quality and appearance.

STEP 5: ORGANIZATION BY CATEGORY

To make finding clothes easier, organize your wardrobe or drawers by grouping clothes by category. For example, place all T-shirts together, pants together, and so on. This saves time when selecting your outfits and helps keep your storage space tidy.

STEP 6: DAY-TO-DAY

Folding your laundry may seem like a trivial task, but by adopting the right techniques, it can make a real difference to your daily organization. Follow these tips to fold your laundry efficiently, save space and preserve the quality of your clothes while keeping your storage tidy.
