I dread the days when I have to launder whites- there, I said it. Why do I despise it so?? Maybe it’s because it takes much longer than folding darks, maybe it’s because all of the items are so little and the pile never seems to disappear! I’m not sure, but I found a secret to folding them that will change your life! (Ok, I exaggerate a little)
When your load of whites comes out of the dryer, sift through it and pick out all of the socks and put them in one pile. Don’t worry about matching them up yet, just gather them in one spot.
Fold your white clothing and lastly, turn to that pile of socks and match them up. I promise this will make your life easier!! I’ve used this method for years, and I thought everyone else did too! Little did I know that it is one of life’s little secrets!!
Now, go get your whites and start a load!! (wink)
It is more “fun” (and I use that word lightly) doing it that way. I always put my socks aside and then do them all together. And it seems to simplify that white load….Thanks!
Why didn’t I know this earlier?? THANKS!
This is what I do too! But I still hate folding socks. I keep telling my husband I’m going to throw out all his socks and buy two packages of the same ones so I can spent less time matching. 🙂
I thought that’s what everyone did! At least I know I’m doing it the ‘right’ way! 🙂
