Before You Begin
Before you start folding your fitted sheet, make sure that it’s clean and fully dry, as you don’t want to fold a damp sheet and have it sit that way in your linen closet. Also make sure that you have a clean, flat, and spacious folding surface to work on—whether that’s a table in your laundry room or the bed in your bedroom. This will make the folding process much easier. Now let’s start folding…
How to Store A Fitted Sheet
Now that you have learned how to properly fold a fitted sheet quickly and easily, store it in your linen closet to keep it clean and ready for use. It will be much easier to store this way because it’ll take up much less space and be easier to stack. There are three different ways that you can store fitted sheets in your linen closet. First, you can store everything in groups—stack all fitted sheets on one shelf and all flat sheets and pillowcases on another. The second way to store them is to keep your bedding sets together, meaning, stacking a folded flat sheet on top of your folded fitted sheet and topping it with the coordinating folded pillowcases. This way, you can easily grab the bedding set without having to search for each individual piece. If you want to go a step further—the third storage method is to place your folded fitted sheet and flat sheet one on top of the other. Place one of the folded pillowcases on top, then slide all three folded bedding items inside the second pillowcase and fold its overhang over, so that you have a nice, neat package. This keeps each bedding set in its own “bag” that can be stored on a linen closet shelf neatly and is easily accessible when needed.
