1 Remove the sheet from the dryer. This sheet has elastic edges that the mattress can be wrapped in.

2 Turn the sheet inside out. Stand with the sheet in front of you. Take the sheet at the two adjacent corners on the short side, because that's what you'll be folding.

3 Place your hands together. Fold the corner of the sheet in your right hand to the corner in your left hand.

4 Fold in another corner. Hold the two corners of the fitted sheet in your left hand. Lower your right hand down and grab the front hanging corner. Lift it up and fold it in two corners that you already hold in your left hand. The visible corner will be turned inside out.

• Now, grab the last corner and fold it over the other three corners in your left hand.

5 Place the folded fitted sheet on a flat surface and straighten it. Fold the two ends so that the elastic is on top of the sheet. Fold the sides so that the elastic corners are hidden, then continue folding into the rectangle you want.

• If you want, iron the sheet while it is folded.

Method 2 of 3: Plain sheet

1. 1 Unfold the sheet lengthwise and grab the top two corners. Your arms may not be long enough to keep it outstretched, ask someone to help you, or place a sheet on the ground to straighten it.
2. 2 Fold the sheet in half. Fold it so that the adjacent corners are aligned with each other. Fold it lengthwise. When folded, flatten the sheet to avoid wrinkling.
3. 3 Fold up again. Fold it along the first fold so that you have a long, narrow rectangle. Smooth it out again.
4. 4 Make the final fold. Depending on the size of the sheet, you should make about 3-4 folds. This time, you need to fold the top and bottom together and align the corners. You can fold it again, resulting in a square folded sheet.

Method 3 of 3: Pillowcase

1. 1 Keep your pillowcase in front of you. It must be folded from the bottom (so the pillowcase will be less wrinkled), along the short side.
2. 2 Fold the pillowcase once along the short side. You should have a long rectangle that needs to be smoothed out.
3. 3 Fold the pillowcase twice more. Smooth the pillowcase after each time so that it does not crumple. As a result, you should end up with a small, rectangular pile.

Tips

• When making your bed, place the top sheet with the decorative side down. This way, the beautiful side will be at the top when you pull the sheet down onto the blanket.
• Remove sheets from the dryer while they are still warm. Fresh sheets from the dryer will not wrinkle and do not need to be ironed. If you skip the end of the drying cycle and the sheets get cold, dampen a washcloth and put it in the dryer. Dry the sheets with the washcloth for 15 minutes to remove any wrinkles.
• Fold up the set of sheets to make them easier to find in the closet. Place folded fitted sheets and pillowcases inside the folded sheets.
• Store sheets on a shelf in a closet or drawer. The storage area should be dry and cool.

Warnings

• Store sheets on a shelf in a closet or drawer. The storage area should be dry and cool.
• Never put folded sheets in a cupboard or drawer while they are still wet. Moisture can lead to mold growth.
