My mom taught me to fold towels the same way!
I fold them just as you do! That is how my mom taught me. When I was a young bride my MIL was helping me fold towels one day and she folds very different from me and I told her she folded hers incorrectly well that did not go over too well. LOL
This is how I fold a towel too. This is also the way the fold towels in hotels. It makes it easier to pull out what towel you want if it’s not on the top!
Hi I fold almost exeactly like you except I have the ribbed but facing out no idea why but they look the same on the shelf. Thanks for sharing
Beach towels I fold ‘the right way’ lol and they are stored in a tub (downstairs off season and in the mud room during swim season). Bath towels are quartered on the short side then tightly rolled to stack on the shelf. Dish and wash cloths are in half and in half again, making a smaller square. Dish towels are quartered on the short side, making a rectangle that fits perfectly in the drawer next to the stacks of wash cloths. Hand towels are folded in thirds long ways, then in half so they can go right off the shelf onto the rod. My husband says neurotic, I say organized. ;-D Funny how we all have a ‘right way’.
Sweet! I’ve always folded my towels the correct way, and I didn’t even know it!:)
I fold mine in thirds and then in half. They fit on my towel tower that way. Wait until your children fold them differently than you do. My older daughter has her own way and I think, “I didn’t teach you that!”
Hi! I found your blog through the Newlyweds. Loved the video 🙂
I actually roll our towels–it may or may not save us space, but I like the look of it when I open up our linen closet. 🙂
Mine are similar but I don’t do it in thirds, I just do it in half again. Maybe I have a bigger shelf. I do put the nice edge on the outside and it drives me crazy when my kids will put them away and just shove them in there. Funny how we all get so weird about bath towels!
I fold my towels exactly like you. When I was little, my mom had an extremely difficult way to fold towels (and I think she still does it this way), that you had to use a flat surface… And I’d think, “ew, they’re getting dirty”. I love this method, cause I just fold them up real fast and easy in my hands. Works great. I don’t remember of ever seeing anyone else do it this way, I just picked it up on my own.
