Folding laundry is a complete waste of time and effort. If it's been through the wash it's clean, it's not going to be any cleaner just because you spent half an hour doing laundry origami.

Half an hour ⁉️ You... might be over-doing it. The goal is to put it away neatly, not open up a hole in the spacetime continuum.

Folding laundry is supposed to be to prevent wrinkles isn't it?

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

That's another take of mine tbh, if clothes hold obnoxiously visible wrinkles, the fabric is too stiff to be comfortable in my view anyway. I try to avoid buying and wearing anything that needs to be ironed if I can get away with it.

I've been rolling up my clothes for years. I thought it would leave wrinkles, but it doesn't. So much faster than folding, and much easier to pack when travelling.

I've never been under the impression folding laundry makes it cleaner? Or am I not understanding the point.

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 hours ago

No, it's the commenter who never understood the point of folding.
