It seems so easy to pull your towels out of the dryer and do a few haphazard folds before throwing them in the closet. And yes, doing that means the towels are clean and put away which is very important. But does that thrown together stack give you any pride in the job you’ve done or how your linen closet looks?
If any of us walked into a chic hotel and found the bath towels folded poorly and tossed on a shelf, we’d demand something better. So why don’t we expect the same of ourselves in our own homes?
HOW TO FOLD A WASHCLOTH:
Lay the washcloth out flat in front of you and fold it in half.
Then fold the half into thirds.
HOW TO FOLD A HAND TOWEL:
Lay the hand towel out in front of you. Evenly fold it in thirds lengthwise. Then fold it into thirds again in the opposite direction.
HOW TO FOLD A BATH TOWEL:
Lay the bath towel out lengthwise in front of you. Like the hand towel, fold the towel into thirds.
Going in the opposite direction, fold it in half, and then half again.
