How to Fold Towels Like You’re in a Damn Spa

It’s winter now. The days are short, the nights are cold, and serotonin levels plummet after vacation. Omicron and inflation are on the rise, and it’s dry January, a time when many of us struggle to cope without drinking. Do you know what this moment requires? Some pretty fucking folded towels.

I understand that this may seem ridiculous – and it may be so. But giving yourself – or your guests – an elegant look to brighten up your dull yellow bathroom and save space in the wrinkled hellish landscape of your linen closet is even more ridiculous than clearing out a cluttered countertop or sometimes buying flowers because you feel yourself. good when you look at them?

This takes more time. Will I be able to wash every load of laundry? No chance. But when I saw the end result, eight neatly folded rolls looked at me, where there is usually a chaotic accumulation of cotton in various states of unraveling … well. Do you know what victory is? This is a lot like neatly rolled towels that have a clean V-fold and don’t fall apart every time you look at them (or take them off the shelf).

So let me introduce you to a towel folding method you never knew existed.

Spa Towel Folding Process

Household owner and TikTok sensation Vanesa Amaro, a self-styled “cleaning queen” with nearly five million followers, shared the technique in a viral video .

First, place the towel on a flat surface – a table or hard bed will do. Take the corner with the tag and fold it to make a small triangle, taking the time to make the triangle smooth and free from jaggies. Then push the top horizontal edge down to meet the bottom horizontal edge (a movement I call the pitch of a paper airplane because it resembles the beginning of a paper airplane). Carefully flip everything so that the pointed corner is at the top right.

Then – for the finale – starting with the longest edge on the left side, roll the towel tightly and smoothly until only a tiny corner is left. Tuck the remaining small triangle into the rolled towel for a crisp, symmetrical finish. And voila, in just a few moments, you’ve enhanced your bathroom aesthetics, shed the chaos in your linen closets, and momentarily gave yourself a reason to feel like an organized champion.
