Lazy Laundry Days: Squeeze More Space with These Smart Folding Techniques!
Tackle your clean laundry mountain without the hassle! We've got the lowdown on two nifty folding methods to declutter and maximize your storage with minimal effort.
File Folding & the KonMari Method
An oldie but a goodie, file folding, aka the KonMari method, (hello, Marie Kondo!) revolutionized storage by transforming your clothes into sleek, upright rectangles. This space-saving trick keeps your garments visible and easily accessible in drawers, wardrobes, or baskets!
Works best forBulkier items such as sweaters, jeans, and thick T-shirts. You can even try it on dainty onesies or pajamas! 🤩
Follow these steps to file fold like a pro:
- Lay it down: Place the item on a flat surface and remove any wrinkles.
- Fold the sides inward: Fold both sides toward the center, adjusting the width based on the size of the garment.
- Fold top to bottom: Fold the item into a compact rectangle.
- Arrange vertically: Line up the folded items side by side in drawers for easy access.
- Use dividers: Add optional dividers to keep your clothing organized and prevent flimsier items from toppling over.
The Rolling Revolution
Not digging file folding? Roll with it! Rolling your clothes is a simple and effective way to make the most of the limited space in your wardrobe. It's also great for travel or gym bags! 🛌🛬🏋️♀️
Works best for T-shirts, workout clothes, pajamas, socks, and underwear. It keeps your threads wrinkle-free and nifty!
Here's the lowdown on rolling:
- Smooth it out: Lay the item flat and remove any wrinkles.
- Fold in sides: Fold both sides toward the center.
- Roll it up: Start at the hem or widest end and tightly roll toward the neck or top.
- Storing options: Store rolled items vertically in drawers or horizontally in bins or shelves based on your drawer height.
Pro Tips for Storage Savvy Laundry
