5 Laundry Room Ideas That Make Folding a Lot Less Tedious - 5 Tips to Making Folding Time a Less Stressful Experience du

Folding clothing can be the most irritating and time-consuming part of laundry time and most of us are unaware of how to streamline this crucial step. Here are 5 tips and tricks that you can apply to your laundry routine that will certainly make folding a much less strenuous task.

1

Change the Layout

One of the main reasons why folding can be a tedious, time-consuming and even messy task is that there is no space in your laundry room to safely organise your folded laundry into piles. You can change the layout of your laundry area to encompass a table or any other flat surface where you can not only lay out what you are folding but also store piles of different clothing belonging to various members of the family in one spot. This will create a neater atmosphere so you can also distribute the folded laundry without extra effort.

2

Remove Hanger Clothes First

Another way to save time and fold laundry that actually requires folding is to remove the clothing items that will go on hangers first. This should be done once the clothes come out of the dryer so that you don't waste time folding clothes that will be pressed and hung on hangers anyway. Pile the clothes headed for the hanger in one corner and fold the rest of the laundry. Folding clothes that should be hung not only creases the fabric unnecessarily but also make pressing a difficult process than if they were taken right out of the dryer and kept in a pile.

3

Add a Pressing Station

Most Colombo apartments with laundry services also include a pressing station in their laundry room so that one can iron clothes that require pressing after they are dried. This is a great way to save time even if one does not have access to laundry services like those who stay at Cinnamon Life and similar complexes. Folding clothes after ironing is a much easier task than folding crumpled up garments that are difficult to mould into a shape straight out of the machine.

4

Buy a Folding Board

As the most inexpensive item that one can purchase for a home laundry room, a folding board can be a truly worthwhile investment. Costing less than 20 USD, a folding board allows one to simply place any item of clothing and fold it neatly in a matter of seconds so that it can be stacked and stored in your closet right away. One only needs to remember the correct sequence to follow when moving the plastic boards so that one ends up with perfectly folded clothing that takes up less place in the laundry basket and your cupboards.

5

Keep a Steamer Close-by

If a pressing station is not feasible in your small laundry area, one can always opt to buy a steamer and have it on hand instead. Steamers are easy to use and smoothen out crumpled clothing into smooth, easy to fold items in no time.
