How To Fold Clothes: step-by-step guide

Most clothes follow one of three folds: shirt fold, pant fold, or towel fold. Learn the three and you can fold almost anything.

  1. Clear a flat space and put the clean clothes next to it.

  2. Pick up one item and decide which fold it needs: top, bottom, or flat item.

  3. For tops, fold the sleeves and sides in, then fold the bottom up to the collar.

  4. For bottoms, stack one leg over the other and fold in half at the knees.

  5. For flat items such as towels and blankets, fold in half, then in half again.

  6. Stack folded items by type so they are easy to put away.
