How to Fold a Fitted Sheet (With Video)
Folding a fitted sheet can be one of the most aggravating tasks on laundry day. If you are bunching up your fitted sheets and shoving them in the linen closet in frustration, we gotchu.
Our main goal for folding a fitted sheet is to get all four corners folded into each other.
How to Fold a Fitted Sheet:
- Starting with the sheet inside out, place your hands in two of the corners.
- Bring your hands together and fold one corner over top of the other, creating a pocket.
- With one hand inside the pocket you’ve just created, follow along the sheet to the remaining corners and tuck those into each other, to create another pocket.
- Bring your hands together again and fold one set of corners over top of the others, so that all 4 corners are in the same pocket.
- Grab the top corners and give them a little shake to straighten it out. You should now see a loose L-shape of the elastic part facing you.
- On a folding surface, using the corner as a guide, fold down your outside edges, making sure they are mostly straight.
- Fold one side over, about ⅓ of the way across.
- Fold the remaining ⅓ over, and straighten your edges again.
- Smooth out any wrinkles and creases.
- Fold the sheet into quarters for a king sheet, or thirds for a smaller sheet.
- For a king sheet (quarter folds), fold the bottom up, then top down, then in half to keep the edges clean.
- Done! You should have a nice little rectangle with the folds, corners and elastics hidden on the inside.

When it’s time to change your sheets next time you should have nice clean creases from your folds instead of unsightly wrinkles. Use this article to help you make your bed like a pro.

Comment link below and I’ll send you the link for the Zing and the brush attachment. The Bissell Zing is one of my favourite vacuums that comes in under $100 in both Canada and the US. You cannot beat this price for the suction and power this thing packs. It’s light weight enough to carry around, lift up high (or low) to get into hard to reach places, and the filter is washable, the canister is easy to empty. I pair it with the hair brush (you have to order it separately!) for dusting baseboards, bathrooms, shelves, basically everything. This vacuum is for hard floors only: It does not have a beater bar for carpets. Only downfall it has is that the cord is a little short and the stick floor attachment sometimes falls out so you have to ram it in there. For under $100 you can’t have it all but honestly this is as close as it gets for me.

Sneaky surprise clean for my Mom for Mother’s Day! She deserved this so much, she has scrubbed a lot of houses with me over the years. Many of you may not know this but my Mom has tagged along and helped with cleaning and training the team since day one. She knows the entire team inside and out and we all love to call her “Mom”. She taught me how to clean, how to run a business and most importantly, how to stand on my own two feet. Then I took everything she taught me and turned it into ✨ THIS ✨

By popular request, I tried out the newest the new Mike Washoksi! He did not disappoint. This little pressure washer packs a big punch of power and cleaned up years of grime from this deck in about 20 mins. Now what else can I pressure wash 🤔 😈 Comment: Link and I will send the link to you IN DM!

I used Mr. Clean undiluted, sprayed it on and let it sit for about ten minutes, scrubbed and wiped it off well to rinse. Letting your cleaning products sit is part of the process, they do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. I think many of us get discouraged with cleaning products because we spray and wipe immediately with minimal results…dirt and grease needs time to soften and break down before you can remove it. However, there is always a little bit (or a lot) of elbow grease required, nothing in life is free 🙃
