welcome back to Andrea Jean cleaning today we are gonna be folding these
fitted sheets there's a flat sheet and a pillowcase this is my daughter's and
we're gonna be doing it Marie Kondo style or Mari a condo however you want
to say it if you are new here make sure you give this video a thumbs up hit that
subscribe button because this channel is all about cleaning and organizing for
busy women so let's get into it one less thing you're super quick because this
methods gonna be so easy fast and it's gonna look phenomenal in whatever
storage space that you have because I love to keep things nice and tidy I like
a more minimal look so that's we're gonna do but make sure you get me up on
Instagram Andrea Jean Co I teach women how to turn
their passions into profits and this YouTube channel is one of the ways that
I do that so if that's something that's sparking some interest for you make sure
that you hit me up on there we're gonna start with the fitted sheet first
because I know that is often the biggest pain point oh and look at that I got a
dryer sheet over there okay my friends don't mind the belly I'm 27 weeks
pregnant so what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna take this twin fitted sheet
and again I'm just using a twin for purposes of this video but you can do
this with any size sheet that you have king queen full I actually have a whole
video about how to do the California roll using a duvet in a comforter so
that will be linked in the playlist in the description box below but what I'd
like to do is lay out your fitted sheet if you have a flat surface this is best
okay and what we're going to do is we're gonna go ahead and tuck this end up into
the top underneath like so here we go here we go
okay get it up there as best as you can
flatten it out now the biggest things with Marie Kondo is she emphasizes
reducing bulk and making things as come back compact is a positive
ken so this isn't perfect but bear with me here it's going to get better and
better so we have the sheet fold it over into itself up in the corner okay the
next thing that we're going to do is we are going to fold it over one more time
because we're going to add a little weight down here so we can see the
bunches up here so we're adding a little bit of weight down here and then we're
going to go ahead and fold it over like so I'm just kind of tuck in any edges
like that and then we're gonna fold it essentially it like a really nice pretty
square like so like so
and you can see they're nice and compact fold it in like a nice square so now I'm
just going to set this aside and we're gonna move on to the pillowcase go ahead
and straighten it all out like so lay it flat and then we're gonna fold this into
thirds like so and like so and just straightening as you go and then we're
going to fold it into thirds again
so we have a nice another little bundle we're gonna put that with that now let's
move into our flat sheet and we're gonna make a very nice package with these
three components so I have my flat sheet here and of course there's a sock buried
in there found below you find lots of laundry tangled in together
I don't separate sheets and towels when I do laundry just for convenience
purposes and so they often get tangled in together this is much easier to do
standing up this part of it but just for this video I want to show you how I
would do it here on the bed so we're just gonna fold it the long way
okay so we haven't folded over on itself one time and I have straighten it out
you know as best as I can at this point we don't want to take all day to fold
one set of sheets so we're just gonna get it as well as we can and we're gonna
fold it into thirds much like we did with our pillow case like so and like so
just straightening as you go and this in on itself again just straightening as
you go we want to make this as compact as possible because in Mari a condo it's
all about saving space and minimalism and with three kids one on the way I am
all about that okay so this is where the fun happens we're gonna take our little
bundle here and we're gonna place it in our sheet set and we are essentially
going to wrap it in itself and make one really nice small compact little bundle
so you can't see down here but the rest of my sheet is down below so I'm just
gonna go ahead I'm actually gonna move this down a little bit more and I'm
gonna fold this over like so nice and tight and compact I'm gonna fold again
again straightening as we go and again and again and then we'll just
go ahead and flip the remaining and over and you can see here we have a nice
little buckle so this is nice and compact it's gonna fit very nicely in my
closet and then when I go ahead and put it on the shelf when I face it this way
it will look all nice all our different sets of sheets we have a linen closet
where we store them all together but this is relatively small and compact and
so I would put the twin sheets on top of the Queen sheets just for symmetrical
purposes when we put them in my closet or another strategy that I've seen
people do is use some sort of baskets so if you had a really nice basket where
you could prop them up one next to each other consecutive it like this looks
really nice as well if you're looking more for a spa sort of retreat we have
our nice little square here and obviously the more that you practice
this the easier that it will get but one of my biggest pain points are those
fitted sheets and just how to keep them all nice together and compact and I
found that folding them in on each other like this really really it does the
trick again if you enjoyed this video be sure to give it a thumbs up hit that
