Fold shirts and pants in seconds following this popular method shown on TikTok
If you need to fold a lot of clothes quickly, there is a method that has gone viral on TikTok that could be for you. In fact, when we have to stack the shelves in the wardrobe with folded clothes, or when we have to prepare a suitcase, we find ourselves having to fold our garments carefully and precisely - failing which, our clothest will end up crammed messily into the drawer and shelves or stuffed unceremoniously into our luggage. In fact, when you throw your clothes into a heap or at least don't bother to do things methodically, you end up wasting space as well as generating chaos.
It is also true that carefully folding every single garment sometimes takes time that we don't have, and so it can be useful to learn a method that allows you to fold T-Shirts and pants into a compact and tidy size in a matter of seconds.

T-Shirt

The four-second method of folding a T-Shirt and turning it into an ordered square of laundry like the ones we see displayed in shops is a method that has been circulating on the net for years, but it never fails to grab the attention of users. And this happened again on TikTok with the very popular content uploaded to the @ cleaninglab_official / TikTok account.
In the video we see that to fold any shirt in a few seconds you should:
- Spread it out in front of you on a clear surface, with the collar facing to you left.
- With your right hand, pinch a point on the left side of the shirt, just below the neck and towards the shoulder
- At the same time, with the left hand (thus crossing your arms) the shirt is pinched towards the middle of the torso, (let's say just under the chest) and at the point it is taken with the other hand, near the side that is facing us.
- With a single movement and always holding the edges of the shirt between the fingers, the arms are uncrossed and when your arms return to their natural position, the shirt will have folded itself.
- This is done without changing the position of the raised hands.
- Lower the shirt so that a flap touches the surface and fold it back on itself, so as to create the perfect square.
It really is easier to see than to explain!
Trousers

- Fold the trousers back on themselves and unfold them with the belt loops to your left.
- Fold the protruding crotch inward to create a long rectangle with no flaps showing.
- Fold the belt loop edge over the trousers and take up one of the legs by folding it 90 ° in front of you.
- At this point you will only need to fold first one leg and then the other towards the center, until you have a square "package", tucking in the parts that are sticking out into the folds between the various layers created by the folds.
