Why Folding Matters for Your Clothes
Folding your laundry and storing it properly protects colors, prevents deformation, and minimises wrinkles. Adding Sta-soft® fabric softener to your final rinse further enhances fabric protection by keeping colours vibrant and helping to reduce wrinkles, making your clothes softer and easier to fold. A tidy closet also saves time, helps you find what you need faster, and keeps your home organised.
Tip: Use Sta-soft® fabric softener in your laundry routine to reduce wrinkles and protect fabric colours, ensuring your clothes not only look good but also feel fresher and more pleasant to wear.
How to Fold Pants and Jeans
Lay pants or jeans flat and smooth out any wrinkles before folding.
Fold each leg over the other, aligning the seams for a crisp finish.
Fold in half from the ankles to the waistband, keeping edges tidy to maintain sharp creases.
For extra sharp creases, press gently along the fold lines before storing.
Avoid bulky folds by folding only once or twice, ensuring garments stack neatly in drawers.
Using Sta-soft® helps reduce fabric stiffness, making your jeans and trousers easier to fold and keeping them soft and easy to store.

Folding Clothes with a Cardboard Template
For extra uniformity (great for t-shirts), use a piece of cardboard as a template to fold shirts evenly and quickly.
Shirts that have been rinsed in Sta-soft® are easier to smooth and fold, thanks to the added softness and reduced static.
Folding for Travel
Roll Method:
Lay flat, fold lengthwise, then roll up tightly. Great for pants, shirts, and socks treated with Sta-soft®, which stay wrinkle-free longer and take up less space.
Bundle Method:
Fold underwear first, then shirt, then pants or skirt, stacking in one compact bundle for the suitcase.
Organise by outfit to save time packing and unpacking, and enjoy the fresh scent and softness Sta-soft® imparts on your travel clothes.
Sta-soft® keeps each item more pliable, making compact bundling effortless.
Closet Organisation Systems
Use drawer dividers to keep clothes neatly separated and easy to find.
Storage boxes are ideal for seasonal or less-used items, helping to maximise space.
Pair vertical folding techniques with these systems to make the most of your drawers and maintain order.
Combining these tools keeps your wardrobe tidy, accessible, and prolongs the life of your garments.
