Help with laundry folding?

Question

whenever the laundry is washed and dried, we put it in the guest room so everyone can fold.

but no one does.

i need advice to help fold them, and so that everyone can participate.

Answer 1

I never fold. My rule is straight from the dryer to the hanger and roll everything that goes into the drawers. My two sons like this roll method, they do not like wrinkled T's. It's easy and allowes for more space in your dresser drawers. It's a lot faster than folding and no wrinkles. Besides they can see there T shirt designs rolled verses laying on top of each other.

Answer 2

to fold shirts you fold the sleeves back and then fole it in half

to fold pants just fold the legs together and fold in half

Answer 3

seperate the laundry; everyone folds and puts away their own clothes.

then for the stuff that everyone uses (towels, wash cloths, etc), everyone takes a week to fold those. whoever doesn't fold, has to put them away.

you need to hold people accountable if they don't do their share. if you don't, then they will see no reason to do it in the future.

Answer 4

I assign everyone a different color laundry basket.  They are then responsible for all their own clothes, sheets, towels, etc.  I do not turn ANY clothes right side out, how I get them is how they get them back.  If they choose not to fold them, oh well, then they have to wear them wrinkled. If they try to toss them back into the laundry because they don't want to wear them like that, I scoop them up, and confiscate them for a week or so, until they beg for them back, and take care of their clothes.  If they don't really care, then they are told the clothes will be disposed of.  ALSO...eight years old and up is old enough to learn how to do their own laundry.  You'll be doing both of you a favor.

Answer 5

fold youre clothes and leave the rest for other people to fold

Answer 6

Laundry is a plague!!

I finally just drop it on my bed,watch a tv show I want to watch, and put the folded clothes on my kids dresser tops and forget about it. Otherwise, they live out of the messy baskets of clean clothes. And that is wear I usually leave the socks, since matching them up is a dreadful chore!

Answer 7

tell whoever doesn't fold their laundry your going to throw it away!

Answer 8

do u own clothes after a while people will get tired of seeing that and thats when u add more clothes and even more so no one will be able to find their clothes and bribe them that works too.
