How to properly fold a fitted bed sheet

I always get frustrated while trying to fold fitted sheet. I use to feel that it is one of the most tedious home core jobs. One day, I decided that I will learn it any how. From some internet sources and I old friend " Varsha" I was able to figure it out. To my surprise, now I fold fitted sheets perfectly in just 1 mins. There are some secrets which I discovered which I am sharing it with you.  

METHOD #1

This way works best if you have a flat surface — like a bed, table, or floor — to lay the sheet on while folding.

I begin by folding the sheet in half. (If you remember back to elementary school, we called this the “hamburger way.”) Secret#1: To get crisp corners, I turn two of the corners inside out so they fit neatly into the other side. Keep reading for how to do this.

For the corners, I turn one of the bottom corners inside out and place my hand inside it.  I put my pointer finger in the corner seam so I can match it up exactly with the other corner on the other side of the sheet.

Then I put that corner right inside the corresponding top corner.

I repeat that with the other side and then it looks like this (above).

Then I even up all of the corners, top and bottom.

Next we start folding again. Secret #2: I fold crib sheets in thirds, like a letter. You can begin with folding the top down or the bottom up, it doesn’t really matter. For larger sheets, I draw an imaginary line in the center of the sheet and fold both the bottom and top edges evenly towards the imaginary central line. (The larger sheets end up being folded in fourths.)

Secret #3: Again make sure to square off the corners for crisp edges and pointed corners!

Fold the next side up or down. It will be long and narrow like the picture (above).

Again match up the corners the best you can and try to square them off  the best you can. Secret #4: You’ll notice that because of the rounded, elastic edges, it won’t be totally square on the one side. That’s okay. The other side (the one opposite of the elastic) will have edges and corners that are more square. Those are the edges that will be facing outward when you finish folding.

Next you’ll bring one of the sides towards the center, folding in thirds again. For larger sized sheets, you can either fold towards the center again as you did in the earlier step — in fourths, or you can fold it over several times on itself. Depending on the size of the sheet, you may have a few more folds.

The last step is to fold it over again and tidy up the corners and edges.Yay! You did it. It’s all ready to be put in the linen closet!

METHOD #2

This is the more common method of the two. Chances are you’ve already seen this one, but it’s always good to have a little refresher. To begin, we start as before.

Secret #5: This time, however, we are going to take folding corners inside-out a step further. When we get to this point, we will take one of the (double) corners and turn it inside-out once more, bring it over to meet the other side, and tuck it inside the other side’s corner.

All of the corners will be tucked neatly into each other. This is what it will look like (above). Straighten the corners and even them up so it looks neat and tidy when it’s all folded.

Next fold the right side towards the center, again in thirds like a letter. Larger sheets can be folded in thirds or fourths depending on how big you want the folded sheet to be when you’re finished. Secret #6: I usually go with fourths on the larger sheets because it fits better on my shelf and matches the folded flat sheet better too.

Fold the left side over.  Straighten corners again.

Lastly, turn it and fold in half. Again, with bigger sheets, you’ll have to play around with how many times you need to fold it so it’s the right size for your shelf.

All done! It might seem a little confusing at first, but spend an hour in front of your favorite show with a pile of fitted sheets, and it will become second nature, I promise. And that formerly nasty chore of folding fitted sheets will be a breeze!

I’d love to know: Are you a balled-up-sheet-in-the-corner-of-the-closet person? Or do you like to keep things neat as a pin? Any other tips you would add?

How to Wash Egyptian Cotton Sheets

A guide to getting the most out of your Egyptian cotton sheets.

Egyptian cotton sheets are widely considered to be the softest most durable type of cotton sheets available. This is because of the natural high quality of the long staple cotton that is used, which is generally grown and harvested in the Nile river valley of Egypt. The cotton is then put through a process that helps refine and soften its natural texture and then it is woven together to create the sheets you use at home. To maintain their quality and softness, it is important to begin taking care of your Egyptian cotton sheets properly right from the beginning.

Caring For Your New Egyptian Cotton Sheets

When you open your set of Egyptian cotton sheets for the first time, it is important to wash them before use. Egyptian cotton, as well as other blends of cotton, has a certain amount of shrinkage that is naturally part of their make up. Washing it will help eliminate the first possibility of shrinkage so that it will adjust to the fit of your bed perfectly. Additionally, some sheet sets may bleed if excess dyes have been used. Washing your sheets prior to use will help prevent any possibility of staining.

How To Wash Egyptian Cotton Sheets

When you are ready to wash your Egyptian cotton sheets, follow these handy tips and you will be able to maintain the softness and quality of your sheets for years to come.

1. First, it's important to wash these sheets separately from other items. Things like hooks in undergarments or zippers on pants or sweaters can snag onto your sheets and either will weaken the construction of the sheets or cause a tear all together. Washing these sheets alone will prevent this possibility and can also help your sheets stay brighter and fresher.
2. Wash your sheets with cold water on a gentle/delicate cycle. If you prefer to use warm water, it should be at a temperature of around 105 degrees Fahrenheit or bath water temperature.
3. Use a mild laundry detergent or one that is pH balanced. Most bottles will signify if it is pH balanced on the actual bottle. It is recommended to use just a little less detergent than what is recommended on the bottle.
4. Chlorine bleach should NOT be used with Egyptian cotton sheets because the chlorine can actually damage the cotton fibers over time as well as the elastic of the fitted sheet. For white or ivory sheets, add about a cup of non-chlorine bleach to the washing machine. This will help freshen and brighten the sheets.                                                                                                                                                                   Downtown Feathers, an online bedding company, adds that OXY Clean can also help brighten up white, ivory or even tan colored sheets as well. However, it is recommended that you test a small area to ensure it is compatible with your sheets and won't cause discoloration. It is also recommended that you do not use a liquid fabric softener or even dryer sheets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Once the spin cycle is over, remove your sheets immediately and give them a good shake. This will help prevent shrinkage and wrinkling.
5. To dry the sheets, you may either hang them to air dry or you can use a dryer on a low heat, tumble dry setting or even an air dry setting. Use a shorter drying cycle to prevent over-drying which can diminish the sheen of your sheets over time. If they are not completely dry, go ahead and hang them up to dry on their own or continue on a light air dry cycle only.
6. You can place the sheets on your bed and smooth them out with your hands to remove any wrinkles. If you prefer to use an iron, make sure it is on a warm setting.

With Egyptian cotton sheets, it is best to use cool, or warm settings when in doubt. Extreme heat, whether it is hot water, hot air or a hot iron can damage the integrity of the cotton fibers and cause breakage. Regardless of size or thread count, following these instructions will lead to better quality and more comfortable sheets with every use.
