Folding Clothes

Introduction

Folding is an art and doing it correctly can help us to become organized. It helps to prevent garments from wrinkling and therefore it can also avoid re-ironing, re-washing and drying. Before yon start folding, the garment must be flat and wrinkle-free, and the fabric must remain nicely spread out throughout the folding process to keep garments free of creases.

2. Lay the shirt face down.
