One of the main secrets of order in the house is neatly and correctly folded things. They take up little space, and your shelves look like they've stepped out of the pages of Ikea brochures. After reading the article, you won't be able to stop until you have stacked all your clothes in flawless piles.

Spending a few hours on putting things in order in the closet, you will save a lot of time in the future, as you will instantly find the right thing.

1. Short socks

Fold the socks together, then in half and then in half. Wrap the cuff of one of the socks around both socks, holding together their friendship forever.

2. Long socks

Fold the socks together and in half and then in thirds. Wrap the cuff of one of the socks around both.

3. Women's panties

Put the panties in front of you, fold them in half, then in three, bending the sides. Now fold the panties in half again.

4. Men's loose underpants or shorts

Place the shorts right side up on the table. Fold in three. Then fold in half and in half again.

5. Jeans

Fold the legs together, then fold the corner. Fold the jeans in half so that the edges of the legs reach the bottom of the waistband. Fold in three and put it in the closet so that you can see the pocket, through which, when searching for the right pair, you can determine which jeans they are (if you have several pieces of the same color).

6. T-shirt

You've probably already seen this method called "How to instantly fold a T-shirt." However, not everyone succeeds in repeating this trick from the first or even the fifth time. The result is disappointment in the method.

Try to do everything slowly and thoughtfully. The basis of the method is three dots on the T-shirt:

1 - top of the T-shirt, about the middle of the shoulder;

2 - the middle of the T-shirt, in line with the first point;

3 - the bottom of the shirt is in line with the first point.

Place the T-shirt in front of you, pinch the fabric at points 1 and 2. Then align point 1 with point 3. Carefully consider where your hands should be during this step.

Pull point 2 to the side and gently shake the shirt while weighed it to smooth out any creases that appear. Fold the shirt lengthwise so the second sleeve is at the bottom and then in half.

Polo shirts can be folded in the same way.

7. Shirt

Lay the button-down shirt right side down on the table. Place the magazine in the middle of the back close to the collar. Wrap the magazine in your shirt and pull it out. Long-sleeved sweaters can be folded in the same way.

8. Fitted sheet

Take the sheet by two corners and tuck one corner into the other, turning the last one inside out. Repeat for the bottom corners. You will end up with a rectangle with two rounded corners. Refuel one into the other. All rounded corners should come together. Fold the sheet in three and half. You will have a neat square.

Bonus tip: In a similar way, you can fold the now popular cotton invisible socks (in the common people they are called "socks"), which have a heel and toe of approximately the same shape. Insert one sock into the other, then tuck one "corner" into the other, as is the case with the sheet.
