    Ironing and folding a fitted sheet made easy

    There’s nothing quite like jumping into a bed of fresh sheets. The best ingredient for making up a snug bed? Crisp, perfectly ironed and folded linen. Plus, ironing and folding bed sheets not only gives you the good night’s sleep you deserve, but wrinkle-free sheets also make for ideal organisation and linen storage. If you want to know how to iron and fold a fitted sheet, here you’ll learn the art of ironing and folding a fitted sheet so that every night feels like a stay at a luxury hotel!

    The benefits of ironing bed linen

    If you wash your bed linen at less than 60 degrees, it could still harbour bacteria, bad odours and dust mites. Ironing will help to eliminate these little nasties.

    If you or your loved ones have skin allergies, washing bed linen at high temperatures and then using the power of steam to remove any remaining mites or bacteria can help. And if anyone’s ill, whether that’s with a cold or something that might be passed on, it’s also a good idea to hot wash and steam iron bed linen. 

    Another plus is that ironing can make some fabrics feel softer, as well as smoother against the skin.

    Before learning how to fold bed sheets, there is one important step to guarantee optimal comfort and closet organisation: ironing. Freshly ironed sheets make all the difference in the world when it comes to the quality of folded bed sheets, so don’t skimp out on this step! Here are some tips to get the most out of your ironing.

    Steps:

    1

    Remove your sheets from the dryer while they’re still slightly damp.

    2

    Fold the bed sheets lengthwise into quarters, so that opposite corners are aligned. Folding a fitted sheet lengthwise will prevent creases from being visible once you make your bed.

    3

    Carefully iron the two corners at the top of the sheet, and then move on to the centre of the sheet.

    4

    After you’re finished with the top part of the sheet, fold it again, but now horizontally, so that the bottom corners align with the top ones.

    5

    Iron the folded sheet the same way as described in point 3.
