We do it like that also, but for the kitchen towels in the drawer 🙂 . I used to be a janitor at a couple truck stops, and at one we folded them length-wise and then rolled them. My wife said she never saw it done that way, so I showed her and she got it after a couple tries.
I do the exact same thing and towels in the linen closet is one of those things that I am a little OCD about. As a young girl I used to refold the ones in my mother’s bathroom all the time.
Hi,
I fold mine in half lengthwise. Then I bring the two ends to meet in the middle and then bring the ends to meet for the last fold. I have noticed some Hotels fold this way and all they have to do is pop them open and put them over the rack with no further folding or straightening. They also fit better in the shelf. (The same width of ours)
I fold it exactly the same.
I’m off to see how you fold a fitted sheet. Someone once showed me, but I could never remember and it doesn’t quite come out right.
I let my daughters fold the towels. I’ve shown them how but they pretty much always look a fright. Oh, well. As fast as we go through them, it really doesn’t matter in the long run. Now, if I were having company over, I might redo them. But it makes the girls feel like they’re helping and I try not to look a gift horse in the mouth!
I fold my towels like this: in 3rds the long way, then I meet the short edges in the middle, then I fold in half. I got this from Martha Stewart’s site. It works nicely for regular-sized towels, but I think your method would be great for big towels!
Too funny! I was just teaching my children to fold a particular way (the *right way* :))
I fold in half your way, then in thirds then in half again.
I fold my towels the exact same way – and I was taught this in high school by one of my good friends Jennifer Mapes who insisted that “this is the proper way to fold a towel”. Been doing it this way ever since!
