How to fold the towel compactly?

Rational use of the usable area of ​​cabinets, dressers and travel bags is not an easy task for every housewife. Most families live in standard apartments, where it is often not possible to equip dressing rooms or install built-in wardrobes with a large number of shelves. Experienced housewives have learned to solve this problem by compactly folding not only wardrobe items, but also bed linen and towels. Neatly folded things and order on the shelves can not only improve the mood of all family members, but also significantly increase the capacity of the cabinet, since they take up less space.

On the shelves of specialized stores, you can find a large number of textile products. For the manufacture of towels, manufacturers use various materials, the choice of which depends on the purpose of the product:

• waffle - for the kitchen, legs, face and hands;
• linen - for the kitchen and hands;
• cotton - a universal type of product;
• velor - for a bath and shower;
• bamboo - a modern type of home textiles with antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties, such products have a long shelf life and are suitable for children;
• microfiber - an artificial type of towels that are lightweight and do not require ironing.

In books on home economics and in sections of women's magazines on housekeeping you can find several of the most common ways to fold towels compactly:

• classic - fold the product along the length three times, and then each edge to the middle and combine the edges;
• French - fold the fourth part of the product to the middle, and the opposite side to the center, fold the towel in half, and then three more times;
• spa method - fold one side of the product with an angle and then in half. Roll the product into a roll, and place the corner in the resulting pocket.

To fold a large bath towel, take two corners on the short side and fold two pieces of the three pieces together. The size of the folded textile will be equal to the last section. The remaining part must be rolled in the center and connected to its edges. Fold the garment so that the smaller crease remains on two-thirds of the towel. Hand products must be taken by the corners on the long side and folded in half. Taking the folded edge of the towel, you need to fold it into three parts. Next, it must be placed on a cabinet shelf with folded edges in the center.

The face product is folded in half on a clean and level surface, and then the procedure should be repeated. The triple-folding method makes it possible to use the edging as a decorative element. This method can become the basis for folding a product in the form of a triangle.

Rolling items is the most popular method of placing large items not only on wardrobe shelves, but also in dresser drawers, suitcases and travel bags. Good housekeeping experts recommend vertical storage, which saves space as much as possible and allows you to neatly organize a large number of items.

A new trend in decorative folding home textiles is the creation of different shapes. Unusual products decorate not only the shelves in the bathroom, but also the wardrobes in the children's and adult bedrooms. On the pages of special magazines you can find a huge number of examples of creating shapes and a detailed description of the work. The most popular towel shapes are:

• Swan;
• peacock;
• a monkey;
• elephant;
• snake.

Swans made of large towels on the bedroom bed will not only surprise your loved one, but also create an atmosphere of romance. To create them, you need to take two large white towels and spread them on the surface of the bed. Guide the bottom corners towards the center of the product and carefully roll them into a roll. The common base will become the bird's nose and the middle part will be the swan's neck. The rest of the product will become the body. To create the wings, you will need an additional small textile product. Scented candles and rose petals will harmoniously complement this composition.

Caring mothers will be able to please their children with interesting figures of funny animals. A mischievous monkey will surely amuse your child and make him smile. To create it, you need to take two towels of different sizes and a clothes hanger. An elephant, a crab, a mouse and a snake will also delight your baby.

Home textiles folded in the form of a shirt or tie will harmoniously look on the men's shelf. Working with house towels is a creative process, and it is not at all necessary to strictly follow the standard schemes. Fantasy and extraordinary thinking are the main helpers of any housewife.

Before folding the washed items beautifully, you must dry them completely. Storing damp towels can lead to unpleasant odors and mold. Mold spores will not only begin to spread throughout the product, but may also spread to other shelves. So that your favorite things not only have a long period of use, but also do not harm your health, experienced housewives recommend following a few simple rules:

• wash bath products after six times of use;
• it is recommended to change the front and kitchen textiles three times a week;
• use a foot towel for no more than four days;

• rinsing in salt water will straighten the villi and make the surface pleasant and delicate;
• sorting products by color is a mandatory procedure before washing;
• liquid powder is the most suitable detergent for washing home textiles;

• take care of things in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations located on the product tag;
• for the rational use of the area of ​​the apartment, you can store towels not only in cabinets, but also use hooks, organizers fixed on the wall, baskets made of wood or plastic and shelves under the sink.
