Washing made easy: How to fold a crease-free fitted sheet in just ONE MINUTE

ARE pesky fitted sheets driving you to despair by taking up way more than their fair share of space in your linen cupboard?

Fear not, as we can now talk you through the perfect folding technique, for razor sharp edges, in just eight easy steps.

It only takes one minute, and should leave your sheets looking flat and smooth.

We’ll also teach you how to store a set together, all within one pillow case.

So read on, and hopefully housework will feel like less of a chore in future…

HOW TO fold neatly:

• Put your fitted sheet on the floor
• Put your hand through two of the elasticated corners
• Connect those into the other two corners, until you’ve got a sheet which is going in on itself
• Straighten it up and tuck in the corners

• Tuck in the seam until you’ve got a reasonably square shape
• Fold it in half, smoothing down afterwards
• Fold it in half again, smoothing down afterwards
• And there you have a flat, folded fitted sheet.

HOW TO store your sheets:

• Put the fitted sheet down on the bottom of the pile
• Put the flat sheet on top
• And one of your pillow cases on top of that
• Grab them all, nicely folded together, and place them inside the other spare pillow case
• Fold it over, and you’ve got a full set of sheets ready to go.
