2 Ways to Fold Towels Neatly

Today I'm sharing 2 Ways to Fold Towels Neatly. This post was sponsored by NEW! Tide purclean as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.

With a family the size of mine, our washing machine is constantly running. I swear, we wash at least a dozen loads each week, 4-5 just of towels alone!?It's just a never ending battle, so we've been trying to be more environmentally friendly in our laundry routine.

Since I have a husband with allergies to many detergents as well as a family full of boys who get dirty, I'm sure that you can imagine there aren't that many good options available. Luckily for me, my favorite detergent brand, Tide has launched Tide purclean, which is 65%?bio-based, yet still has the trusted cleaning power of Tide that's tough on these boys' stains.

Tide purclean?has a wonderful honey lavender scent and is made at a manufacturing site that has zero waste to landfill. The USDA BioPreferred Program has certified Tide purclean and 100% renewable electricity is used to make the formula. It's available for purchase at Target with 2 great savings; a $1 off neck-hanger coupon (which my store ran out of) and a 5% off Cartwheel offer that is valid through 7/30.

I stopped by Target last week to grab a few things like a new paid of summer shorts and unmentionables. It's one of my favorite stores to shop for clothing and intimate apparel because they've got such cute stuff at great prices! Of course, I had to stop by?the laundry aisle to grab a bottle of Tide purclean on my way out.

I've quickly fallen in love with Tide purclean due in part to it's very pleasant fresh scent, the fact that it's more environmentally friendly than many other detergents and because it does a great job cleaning our clothes.

I'm a really busy mom, especially now that summer vacation is in full swing and I'm trying to balance my work schedule, summer school carpool, household chores and everything in between. Thankfully, my boys are a big help?to me and do a lot of chores around the house, including laundry! Well the one thing they've been struggling?with is how to fold?towels neatly. With our limited closet space, the way the towels are folded is something that I am very particular with, so I sat down and showed them how to fold towels last week.?I know other people struggle with folding towels too, so I thought I'd share?2 ways to fold towels neatly!

2 Ways to Fold Towels Neatly

1. Basic Fold

This is how many people fold their towels and the way that you'll find towels folded in most stores. It's really simple to do actually. Just fold the towel in half, half again and half again. The key is making sure the corners meet when you're folding. After a bit of practice, it's easy to master and it'll take just a few minutes to fold and entire load of towels.

2. Tri-fold

This is my preferred method of towel folding because of our limited closet space and it just looks a little neater to me. You'll start the same in the first basic fold option and fold the towel in half, then half again. Next you'll fold it into 1/3, then 1/3 again.
