Master class on compact folding of towels

Folding towels compactly in the closet means significantly saving space and taking care of the health of your household, because neatly folded items do not accumulate dust and dirt. There are several ways to fold textiles that can free up space even in a small apartment.

How to fold a large towel

The issue of compact storage for fluffy bath towels is especially relevant. Most often they are made from terry cloth, and such products can take up a lot of space on the shelf.

Classic way

1. Lay the towel evenly on a horizontal surface.
2. Fold it in thirds lengthwise.
3. Fold the ends of the fabric inward towards the center so that they are next to each other.
4. Fold the resulting structure in half.

Spa method

1. Pull one of the corners of the straightened towel along the canvas to the opposite side.
2. Fold in half lengthwise and turn over.
3. Roll the fabric tightly, starting from the wide edge towards the pointed end.

Roll

1. Fold the bath towel in half widthwise.
2. Repeat the first step again.
3. Roll the resulting rectangle into a tight roll. For beauty and ease of storage, you can tie the roller with a ribbon.

How to fold small towels

These methods will help you achieve order in the kitchen, and are also suitable for small towels for your hands and face.

First way

1. Grasp the two ends on the long side with your hands and connect them, folding the product widthwise.
2. Fold the rectangle lengthwise into thirds.

Second way

1. Fold the towel widthwise once.
2. Repeat the same manipulation on the longitudinal side.

At home and on the road

To store textiles in a home closet, the classic folding method is most often used - it allows you to make the most of the space.

Another method that can be used on a cabinet shelf is roll storage. This method allows you to immediately see all the towels, quickly find what you need among them and easily get it without disturbing the order.

The roll is also convenient if you are used to storing bath textiles in a dresser drawer.

It is no coincidence that vertical storage systems are becoming increasingly popular. Fold the bulky towels as usual, but do not stack them on top of each other in the usual way, but place them in a drawer. Thanks to this system, you can easily and quickly get any of them without rummaging through the entire drawer in search of the necessary thing.

A product folded in a spa style will look impressive on a bathroom shelf and will pleasantly surprise your guests.

If you are used to storing clean towels in the bathroom, make sure that they are not constantly exposed to steam and moisture. This promotes the rapid proliferation of microorganisms.

Remember that the methods described above are only suitable for clean and dry fabrics. After use, hang the towel and wait until it is completely dry. Try to straighten the fabric as much as possible so that no moisture remains in the folds. For these purposes, you can use regular hooks, as well as special holders or hangers.

The storage method also depends on the type of fabric:

• It is better to keep fluffy products made from terry threads rolled up: this will preserve the structure of the fibers and avoid the pile becoming wrinkled.
• Small waffle and linen tea towels can be stacked as they do not take up much space.

For those who are going on a trip and want to compactly pack a bag or suitcase, it is recommended to choose the rolling method. It can be used not only for towels, but also for clothing items. This method saves space in your bag and keeps the product virtually unwrinkled.

Neat storage of towels at home and on the go allows you to maintain order in the closet, significantly save space on shelves and not spend a lot of time on cleaning. Choose the method you like, and your home textiles will always be in order.
