At Suds on Farmers laundromat, we know laundry doesn’t end when the clothes come out of the dryer. Folding your laundry the right way keeps your wardrobe organized, saves storage space, and helps clothes stay fresh and wrinkle-free. Whether you're doing laundry at home or picking up your perfectly folded order from our wash, dry, and fold service, these tips will help you fold like a pro.

Our team carefully folds every item by hand to ensure your laundry is returned fresh, clean, and perfectly organized.

1. Use a Clean, Flat Surface

Start by clearing a table, bed, or countertop so you have enough space to fold each item neatly. A clean surface makes folding easier and keeps your fresh laundry spotless.

2. Smooth Each Item Before Folding

Give every item a quick shake to release any wrinkles. Smooth the fabric with your hands to make the folds sharper and more even. This small step makes a big difference.

3. Folding Techniques for Everyday Clothing

Here’s how to fold common laundry items for the best results:

T-shirts: Lay the shirt face down. Fold both sides toward the center, then fold the bottom up to the top.
Pants: Fold them in half lengthwise so the legs line up. Then fold in thirds from bottom to top.
Towels: Fold in thirds lengthwise, then fold in half. Rolled towels also work great for tight storage.
Socks: Stack one sock on top of the other, then fold in half. Avoid balling them up, which can stretch the fabric.
Button-up shirts: Button the top and middle buttons. Fold the sleeves inward, then fold the shirt into thirds from each side.

4. Group Items by Category and Size

Fold similar items together and stack them in categories like shirts, pants, towels, and kids' clothes. This makes putting them away easier and keeps your drawers tidy.
