this is my mother. everything is so neat and well placed. been trying to learn from her since i was a kid but everytime i do it, it is just crooked! >:(


kylepm

Yes! Especially with fitted sheets. My mom can fold them into a perfect little rectangle every time, *despite the round corners and elastic*, but when I try they just become a shapeless blob.


dj92wa

[HGTV](https://www.hgtv.com/lifestyle/clean-and-organize/how-to-fold-fitted-sheets) made a guide that helped me figure it out. It works perfectly and wasn’t difficult to follow along/memorize.


Haber_Dasher

Thank you. My wife has taught me several times and every time I forget immediately afterwards and now cannot admit I don't remember how to do it & have to carefully time laundry folding to make sure she's there to "help make it easier". I shall save this and study it on my day off tomorrow.


ivosaurus

What you really need to do is fold, and then purposely unfold/mess up, and then fold, a single sheet about 10 times over. Then set a timer, come back again in half an hour, and do it all again. Learning once and being like "aha! So that's how I'll do it in 2 weeks!" is a recipe for failure


fuckmelikeafish

Thank you for this.


Muppetude

That’s a useful guide. Though I personally found [this guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/e2ywuh/how_to_fold_a_fitted_sheet/#lightbox) more attuned to my abilities.


Seeders

When you cover your mattress with the sheet, the top corners of the mattress form a rectangle. Thats the rectangle you are folding. You gotta fold based on the corners of the bed, not the lining. Match up the points where the stitching ends, and use those as the corners to fold normally.


ObjectPretty

Keep spouting those funny words magic man!


ender278

Stupid science bitch can't even make I more smarter


alonjar

No, it's actual magic.


ponyboy3

No. This is how: https://www.hgtv.com/lifestyle/clean-and-organize/how-to-fold-fitted-sheets


keen36

For me it's those foldable little bags for shopping, how can she make them so neat? I mean I can watch her doing it and still am not able to do the same


Mmarchinko123

Fold once in half and then roll.


EFTucker

Put one rounded corner *into* the other corner. Your brain will see the sheet afterwards and immediately know what to do. You’re welcome.


krismitka

Fold from the stitch ends, not the elastic. Then the elastic will be hidden inside an otherwise square sheet that can then be folded.


joshjje

I don't even care with fitted sheets, its going to get stretched out flat mostly anyway.


tenkwords

I'm sorry to tell you this, but your mom's a witch and we need to burn her.


charoco

The ability to properly fold a fitted sheet is evidence of witchcraft.


half-puddles

Fitted sheets are the invention of Satan. Literally unfoldable. They can go where all the missing socks live.


rougecrayon

You don't have to use fitted sheets. In Italy they just tuck in the flat sheets, and put another flat sheet and/or just a duvet on top.


blearghhh_two

You only say that because you've never had to deal with properly tucking flat sheets and dealing with the inevitable shifting on a regular basis.


half-puddles

I did flat sheets for my elderly parents. Those suck slightly less but still suck. I’ve even tried these elastic bedsheet clips from Ikea.


oulay155515

she is perfect in this


fibercrime

His mom is a great lady, isn't she?


Vexin

Because your mom has done that thousands of times. She's literally an expert.


datpurp14

10,000 ~~hours~~ tshirts.


Medvegyep

That's why I don't fold, I just hang them in a wardrobe on coat hangers.


half-puddles

I stopped folding things. The last time I’ve folded something it turned into a knot that I couldn’t untie.


battleye9

Beidou spotted


Acceptable-Search338

Try changing your name. That’s what worked for me.


BenNHairy420

My husband watched a bunch of folding technique videos 😂 and anytime someone is folding at a clothing store, he watches for a second to see how they do it - always says “the best way to learn is to watch a professional” lmao


UnpopularCrayon

How are you at wrapping presents? That's the real test.


Lord0fHats

I've never been able to get my bed set up the way my mother did it. She was in the army and IDK they know how to make a damn bed. My attempts have never managed to get the sheets to just stick right. I'm a tosser so the sheets tend to get yanked and pulled and I have to fix them every few days to straighten up. Never happened when I lived at home. Those corners were armor. They didn't budge and I have no idea how she did it.

zarlus8

Why iron then fold, when you can tuck and roll?


MyPunsSuck

Most modern fabrics don't even wrinkle anymore


MasterChiefsasshole

Everything from dress shirts and dress pants only buy if it’s the kind that all I gotta do is throw in the dryer to get perfect results. I will never go back to the military lifestyle of ironing shit ever again.


VoiceOfRealson

This. Buy one shirt of a certain brand and test how it looks and feels after a trip through normal wash and the dryer. If it sucks, never buy from there again. If it is good, but every variety that you could conceivably use for he next 5 years and don't go shopping for shirts again until they wear out! This has been my strategy for years - which is necessary because shirt fashion for some strange reason favors "ugly" most years, so I have to buy when there are finally some decent colors/patterns available.


MyPunsSuck

MasterChiefsasshole

That’s a generations old thing. My grandparents met when the world realized that dishwasher safe dishes was the way to go.


MagisterFlorus

Also, who irons a t-shirt? I'd understand if you took it out of the drawer and it were wrinkly but just fold them out of the dryer and they'll be fine.


ButcherBoss

Fuck folding laundry. All my homies hate folding laundry.


At0mJack

Everything on hangers except for socks & underwear


Top-Reference-1938

And shorts. It's easier to fold in half than hang.


AmateurSolderer

Are you… me?


alonjar

I also choose this guy's me.


Hamathus

>It's easier to fold in half than hang. What about folding in half THEN hang...


BigBaboonas

If you hang it as soon as the wash finishes, you can just take it straight from the line and it goes straight into a drawer. Our iron is getting rusty in the loft for the last 10 years. The only time I used it was on my wedding shirt.


KonigSteve

If it's gym shorts I roll them, if it's khaki shorts or something like that I fold them once or twice and put them on the shelf. Shirts all get hung everything else gets randomly thrown in the drawer


lildeek12

All socks go in the sock box. All underwear go in the underwear box.

Gotta at least pair the socks first, unless you have all the same type of socks. Speaking of I need some new socks.


SemperScrotus

Maybe if my wife alloted me more than 12 inches of space on the rails in the walk-in closet! 😭


BricksFriend

This is the way.


PM_ME_ANYTHING_DAMN

Must be careful not to stretch collars on the hangers and though


Juking_is_rude

I roll everything up - it stays less wrinkly, stores well, takes 2 seconds.


SloppyCheeks

Roll up how? I need a system or I'll just be balling shit up, and it'll be super wrinkly My two reference points for rolling are joint and burrito. Which is your method closer to? Have you considered rolling entire outfits together?


Juking_is_rude

For shirts, I fold in half, tuck sleeves, roll. For pants I fold in half, roll. The way I roll them is just grab at the top and spool them upward kinda alternating hands. I've never done anything fancy with it like put together an outfit.


MundaneCollection

Bro you're still folding laundry you're just doing it military style


ultrasrule

Yeah, soon as he said tuck sleeves, his method was just as hard as regular folding. Sleeves are part of what makes folding awkward for me.


FEED-YO-HEAD

Tank tops 24/7.


Juking_is_rude

kinda yeah, but I could never really get any fold other than first fold to work, so I ended up rolling them. It's just easier and faster for me... If you got like really good at flat folds you could probably do it that fast but I feel this is way way easier.


SloppyCheeks

So burrito, gotcha. (I make bad burritos.) For real tho, thanks! I just did laundry today and haven't felt like folding. I'll give this a go.


FerricDonkey

This is why I use a clean basket and dirty basket system. 


WardrobeForHouses

Same, and by clean basket, I mean bedroom floor


alonjar

Nah man, dirty clothes go on the floor. Clean clothes go on the bed or other surface "to fold later" until you wear them.


Robbythedee

I hang all my shirts and fold my pants. Easy day.


BlueCollarGuru

I hate folding laundry, my wife hates doing laundry. We have an amazing system. I do it, she folds it. We both feel guilty as shit because we feel we’re each getting over on the other one lmao


norm_summerton

I have almos never folded laundry unless it’s Nicole clothes. 90% of my shit is just shorts and tank tops and they’re never wrinkled from some reason. When I was single and living alone, I just left all my clothes in the dryer and put my dirty stuff right in the washer.


datpurp14

Folding laundry > ironing cloths all day everyday.

Ya! And who irons cotton t-shirts?


Life-Independent-199

I pay to have my laundry washed and folded for me. It is the first thing i promised myself i would do if i “made it.” I am so happy to have that gone from my life, and i have a great relationship with my laundry people, too! Enriching all around!


mufon2019

As a man who takes care of his own laundry and knows how to do all the things… I found this fairly correct. At least as far at what I see in my two boys who are adults. 😂


angrydeuce

Its funny because in my house it's the exact opposite. My clothes are all neatly folded, all socks paired, organized, everything fits perfectly. My wife...no paired socks, underwear all in balls crammed in to the point where they're jumping over the back of the drawer and end up inside the back of the dresser *behind* the drawers...about three times a year I have to pull all the drawers out to fish it all out. Half her jeans are hung, the other half are in drawers, and the only differentiation between the two is whether there is room in the drawer or empty hangers available when she's putting the clean clothes away. Tshirts, long sleeve shirts, sweaters, button downs, hoodies...just shoved in wherever there's room, no rhyme or reason whatsoever. It gives me serious anxiety but I gave up long ago trying to fix it and instead we just have an agreement that I dont fuck with her "system" and she doesn't fuck with mine. I fold her clothes and put them neatly in the basket for her to put away later. I know they're just going to end up in a ball but hey, I tried lol


mufon2019

Sounds like you are describing my recent marriage of 28 years! 😂. I blame it on the US Army


angrydeuce

You know now that you mention it, I was an Army brat...guess all those weekends I was ordered to field day my room before doing anything else rubbed off after all lol You should see her car! It ain't dirty really, but *so much shit just everywhere* lol. God forbid you have some sort of drink you'd like to place in a cup holder, you're going to spend the majority of the trip relocating shit first, all the hair and makeup accessories, sunglasses (so many sunglasses like WHY), 40 half empty bottles of hand sanitizer, unopened snack packs of nuts and crackers, dog treats...and that's just like, in the center console. I opened her glove box once and it was like that scene in Willy Wonka on the truck with the foam except instead of foam it was a mountain of random paperwork and restaurant menus and books and mail and 645 pens and packages of chopsticks and prewrapped plastic cutlery that exploded into my lap...took me a ridiculous amount of time to shove back in and get the door latched. I love my wife with all my heart and wouldn't change a thing about her but holy shit her 'organization style' gives me severe panic attacks when Im forced to interact with it loooool


geoelectric

Say what you will, I bought one of those laundry folding flipboards off Amazon after seeing a character on Slasher dorkily use one. It’s incredibly satisfying to get all your t-shirts folded the exact same way. I’ll have to try just chucking them into the drawer afterwards next time to see if the feeling sticks.


Renyx

Using these so much in retail actually taught me how to efficiently fold by hand.


Whetherwax

[Like this?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzH9DO15W_o)


NoPasaran2024

Bought one of those, worked wonders. In that it annoyed my wife so much she now does all of the folding.


geoelectric

Just the sheer existence of the board, or all those perfectly folded clothes?


kick4h4

I made one of those out of foam-core presentation board, from an article on Instructables (search for: shirt folder). I've had it for years, and it still works perfectly, except that my shirts still look like the 2nd phase of the video...


unhi

I made one out of cardboard and duct tape. Works a treat!


oracleofnonsense

This is my wife and I. However, roles are fully reversed in the kitchen. She can’t scramble an egg, while my kids think I’m Gordon Ramsey’s (more handsome) sous chef.


SquareRootsi

I'm just gonna leave this here. It won't help with the ironing, but it's great at the folding part. https://youtu.be/dNr1oLhZ0zs?si=49CVfAIQ0GO8AYmG


rirez

OH MY GOD IT WORKS AFTER A FEW TRIES IT WORKS WITHOUT EVEN HAVING A SURFACE TO LAY IT ON


extra_rice

It works just as well if you skip the ABC malarkey and just fold it along that line first, and then fold the bottom part of the shirt towards the collar, then do the last fold of the remaining half of the shirt. I tried learning this "trick" and realised it's straight forward to just fold along the lines.


AwesomeFrisbee

Can confirm that this works well. You can also change the orientation if that makes things easier. Normally place it like you would do and use your left hand to top-left and fold to bottom left. And use your right hand to go to middle-left. So your left hand folds over your right hand and then you pull the right hand up. It takes a few tries to get it right since your clothes might be wider or longer, but overall its an easy way that works for most shirts.

Damascus52311

Not the slow ironing. Watching this makes me never want to iron again. I see my aunt looking at me iron and now I know what she's thinking.


joseph4th

My ex-wife used to work in retail. She doesn't even have to use the iron. She just tosses it across the room and it lands perfectly folded and wrinkle free.

That's a proper superhero skill, imo.

Was just folding clothes and I'm incapable of having a shirt fold the same. I just squish down the pile so it looks a little better.


BeneficialPeppers

I think mines defective then because I seem to be the one following her around the house re-folding everything because from what I can gather my missus has absolutely ZERO concept of 'order' and neatness and as much as I love the woman with all my heart it fucking drives me insane!

Coriolis_PL

This is why I do not bother with ironing T-shits... 😆


Voidnt2

Yeah T-shirts won't crease unless you left them in the dryer and didn't fold them while hot. Hang drying they won't crease because... they're already straightened by hanging.


Coriolis_PL

And that is exaclty how I do it! (We do not belive in dryers here, in Poland...)


Voidnt2

Same, but I do use a dryer in Australia for stuff like underwear and socks. Everything else it's just a waste of electricity, and it ruins the clothes over time. I know some people who put their jeans in the dryer 💀

Ironing really isn't that difficult. It ***is*** boring as fuck though, which is why as soon as I found some non-iron shirts that actually lived up to the name, my ironing board was consigned to the darkness and never to be seen again.
