Folding Laundry Tips: A Faster Finish | Lyrebird Laundromat
Introduction
Folding laundry can feel like the final hurdle on laundry day. The good news? With a few smart folding habits, you can cut the time in half, keep clothes in better shape, and make putting them away much easier. Here’s your quick guide to folding laundry like a pro.
Smart Folding Tips
- Fold while warm Take clothes straight from the dryer and fold immediately. Warm fabric creases less, which means less ironing later.
- Smooth seams first Run your hand along hems and edges before folding—this keeps stacks neater.
- Stack by outfit or use Keep work shirts together, gym gear in one pile, and kids’ clothes in another. It speeds up mornings.
- File-fold tees Store T-shirts upright in drawers (“file style”) so you can see everything at once.
- Pair & roll socks Rolling takes less space and keeps pairs together.
- Tri-fold towels Fold into thirds for a hotel-style look and better shelf stacking.
- Use baskets by room Sort folded piles into baskets for each family member or room. Makes putting away simple.
Why It Matters
Neat folding isn’t just about looks:
- Clothes last longer without deep wrinkles or stretching.
- Storage stays organised—you can see and grab what you need.
- Laundry day feels finished (instead of a pile waiting in the corner).
