Towels sure do take up a huge amount of space in your closet, don’t they?

They are still bulky and thick even after folding and pressing them firmly.

This is one of the major problems in households with a lot of family members who only have little space for cabinets or other clothing storage.

Moreover, bringing bath towels during trips also becomes a dilemma for those who hate carrying humongous luggage and just want to carry less.

Having a towel while traveling is indeed a necessity but it also takes up too much space, not to mention they’re a little heavy too.

Hotels seem to have a trick up their sleeve when it comes to saving space with towels.

The way towels are folded in hotels and other establishments like spas and saunas shows us that there is, in fact, a better way to store them.

It appears the key is to roll them instead. Fascinating, right?

Have you ever tried mimicking how towels are folded in these establishments? It’s easy to do, but trickier than it looks.

Step 2: On either side, grab the lower tip/end and fold it diagonally upward until it reaches the top lining of the towel.

Tip: the first fold should create a triangular shape on one side of the towel.

Make sure to press the towel firmly after finishing each step.

Step 4: Carefully flip the towel over.

Make sure before performing this step that you are pinching the towel on any folds so that flipping it is not going to ruin or misplace any of the steps performed above.

Again, press the towel firmly after doing this step.
