It’s an age-old dilemma: you need to fold your clothes in order for them to stack nicely on shelves or in drawers. However, when you pull them out for wear, they’ve become riddled with creases from your folds. If you’re familiar with this frustration, you might wonder: Is it even possible to fold clothes without creating wrinkles?

The laundry professionals at Park Avenue Coin Laundry can confirm that it’s possible. Located in Dothan, AL, this full-service laundromat offers both DIY and drop-off options. Below, they share some secrets on how they fold clothes without wrinkling them:

  • Pants: Start by folding the pants in half length-wise, so the inner seams of the legs lay on top of each other (same with the outer seams). Then, lay the bottom half of the pants on top of the zipper area, and fold the bottom in half to meet the top one more time to form a neatly layered rectangle.
  • fold clothesShort-Sleeved Shirts: Begin with the front of the shirt facing upwards. Fold it in half lengthwise, so the sleeves are stacked. Bring the sleeves over to lay on top of the shirt, and then fold the bottom of the shirt upwards, so the sleeves are tucked in.
  • Long-Sleeved Shirts: On a flat surface, lay the shirt with the front facing down. Fold the right sleeve across the shirt, so the cuff lines up with the seams of the right shoulder. Repeat this step with the left sleeve. Fold the shirt, so the right edge meets the center; then repeat with the left edge so both edges meet. Fold the shirt in half, bringing the bottom up to meet the top—then repeat so that it forms a neat rectangle.
