first you must iron the cloths. then after pressing you should fold it suppose you are folding the shirt so you will first press it properly. from the bacside of the shirt fold the first arm inward then second arm inward then fold the collars towards the folding of the arms, in case you have to hang it so you shoukd use the plastic hangers so that the cloth is not damaged because the wood hangers damage the clohes. when you are pressing the pant after pressing fold both of creases inward so that it would become easy to hang them to the hangers. these all are the best ways you can also get much better way for google\homeeconomics.

hey. okay here it it. i am an expert organizer. first take a look at your closet, do all your hangers match? if they don't....toss away! head to your local dollar store or wal-mart and grab a whole bunch of the same hangers or however many you think you need. Never use wood, they leave weird marks on the shoulders. find plastic ones, make sure they are all the same color, preferably a color that matches your bedroom. then organize the stuff you want to hang up in your closet. nice shirts,button ups, jeans,slacks etc. Never roll your shirts unless your putting them in a suitcase lol.

Then take a look at the stuff you don't think that your ever going to wear...toss or give to purple heart or your local homeless shelter. **Before you re-arrange anything....make sure you wash everything.

Then the stuff you dont think that needs to be hung up should be folded in drawers. like for instants, i have in my drawer the following....1 drawer is strictly for undies then another for bras, everyday tees,tanks, pj's, and swimsuites. and because its cold here in michigan right now, what ever remainding drawers i have i use to put some of my summer tops in. but before you store anything away in the drawers, make sure they are all wiped down and clean.

now on to folding....Grab a t-shirt that you think you would be putting in one of your drawers....

1. hold one sleeve in one hand and another sleeve in the other.
2. join the 2 sleeves together as if you are folding a piece of paper in half.
3. lay it flat on any CLEAN surface
4. then lift the top half and fold again

it should look like a square with 2 sleeves sticking out.


I hope i helped you out! xoxo

Personally I think that the wooden hangers are the best to use. It's easier to use when putting away clothes, it prevents the permanent fold creases that can happen when folding clothes, it makes your clothes in your closet so much neater and it's easier to get your clothes on and off the racks. Keeps them looking newer longer. Fine department stores do that to their clothes for a good reason.

You must be a guy!! Yes, wooden hangers. NO WIRE HANGERS!! Don't roll shirts..they get too wrinkled. Fold in half and then in half...don't stuff them in the drawer. Very simple.

There are MANY techniques... I worked at Macy's and served in the Navy. Both organizations folded dress shirts in such a manner that they could be worn with minimal creases rather than hanging them. Then again, in the Navy we folded our underwear, tshirts, and socks also

Here are some sites on Folding Clothing
