The Classic Fold

For the truly discerning ironer, the classic fold is the only fold. A symphony of precision, a dance of steam, a waltz of water. It’s the fold that’s been tried and true for generations.

Step one: Separate the clothes from the clothes. No, wait, that’s not what we mean. Separate the clothes from each other. You know, like, the socks from the shirt, the towel from the sheets.

Step two: Sort the clothes by color. No, that’s too obvious. Sort them by fabric type. Delicates from the rest, because, let’s be real, you don’t want to get your silk from your polyester.

Step three: Fold the delicates first. Because, you know, those are the most important ones. Then, fold the rest in an intricate pattern, like a Russian nesting doll of ironing.
