Mastering household chores is a rite of passage when you embark on the journey of managing your own home.
It’s a world where mundane tasks like washing dishes and vacuuming become daily realities.
Amidst these chores, there’s one we can’t avoid – laundry.
But while folding clothes can seem pretty straightforward – there’s one issue many can agree upon – how the heck do you fold a fitted sheet?
Both flat and fitted sheets have their unique benefits – however, fitted sheets often win the race for practicality.
Their snug fit ensures they protect the mattress effectively, absorbing the oils our bodies release during sleep.
Their ease of application and the smooth surface they provide make them a popular choice for a hassle-free and comfortable sleep experience.
A Common Dilemma
Despite their advantages, fitted sheets present a notorious challenge in the laundry room – folding them neatly.
Traditionally, flat sheets have been the go-to for ease of folding and storage.
However, there’s a simple yet ingenious method to fold fitted sheets that can transform your linen closet from chaotic to organized.
Jill Cooper from “Living On A Dime To Grow Rich” is here to save the day.
In her enlightening video, she tackles what she calls “one of the biggest challenges” in household management – folding a fitted sheet correctly.
Her technique is straightforward yet effective, involving a series of steps that begin with holding the sheet lengthwise and tucking its corners neatly.
A Step-by-Step Folding Guide
Cooper’s method requires you to align the sheet’s corners and edges before moving to a flat surface like a table.
Here, you carefully flatten the sides and methodically fold the sheet in thirds or fourths, depending on its size.
This technique, while seemingly daunting at first, becomes easier and more intuitive with practice.
Efficiency in Folding
Contrary to what one might think, this method of folding fitted sheets is not more time-consuming than dealing with a pile of crumpled sheets in your closet.
Cooper’s video, which has attracted over 24 million views, shows the effectiveness and popularity of her folding method.
The internet can’t get enough of her trick.
Although the video was posted a while back, it keeps amazing new viewers all of the time!
