Make it easy

The key to painless folding is using a flat, non-back-breaking height surface. It can be a clean kitchen counter or even a kitchen table if you like to sit and fold. Even the bed has a nice flat surface, as we'll see in the video. By using a flat surface, you'll get cleaner, sharper folds and have a space to stack clothes so they won't fall over.

Lighten the load

As with any other task, folding clothes is a lot less scary if you aren't facing a mountain each time. If you don't have time to handle all of your freshly dried clothes at once, hang or fold the ones that will be worn on the outside like shirts, trousers, dresses, or skirts. If you don't have time to fold or hang, lay these pieces out flat on a counter or bed. Leave the undies and socks for later.
