The whole idea of using a Laundromat facility like our Laundromat Woodbridge, VA location is to make your laundry task a whole lot easier. By making full use of all the benefits that this type of location has to offer you will cut down the time it takes to do the laundry drastically and it will also become a job that you no longer mind doing.
Once your clothes have been nicely dried, the final task is to fold your clothes, so they remain wrinkle free. Although you may be in a hurry to get your laundromat folding finished so you can move on to doing other things, it’s worth taking a few moments to prepare and fold your clothing properly. If you don’t, chances are high that you’re going to be adding some ironing to your list of chores.
Something else to keep in mind as well is when you’re folding your clothes, put them in separate piles for each family member. This little tip will save you loads of time when you get home and have to put them away.
First, remove all the light clothing from the dryer that needs to be hung. Getting them on to the hangers quickly will help them to remain wrinkle free.
Then, start by folding the heavier items like your jeans. By getting these out of the dryer first, you are removing the weight of your total clothes load, which reduces wrinkling. Plus, the heavier items should be at the bottom of your individual clothes pile, so they don’t wrinkle the lighter materials.
A simple way to keep jeans looking good by folding them properly is to first make sure all the pockets have been pushed in. Then, hold them from the bottom cuffs, line up the legs together, fold in half, then fold again.
It is important to fold sweaters and any woolen type materials because they can become stretched and lose their natural shape. By taking care to fold these items in the proper manner, it will mean that you can also get a lot more of them in their designated storage area. Fold both sides of the sweater halfway towards the middle. Lay the sleeves straight out on the fold. Next fold the top section of the sweater down, so the collar rests on the bottom edge. Do this for each sweater or T-shirt. Now you should have a uniformed looking stack of these items. They should look like you see them neatly stacked at your local department store.
One of the most difficult items to fold properly so they don’t take up a lot of space is towels. While there is no right or wrong way to fold towels, you need to experiment with different folds to see which works best with the amount of storage space you have for these items. If you are really limited for space for these items you may want to try folding them half vertically, then roll them. You will be surprised to discover that you may be able to get two or three more of them in your storage area this way.
These tips on folding your clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer at your local Laundromat are going to help you keep your clothes looking great with a lot less wrinkles, while saving you time from having to iron them.
