My busy mom laundry hack saves time – the disguise method is controversial but it only takes me 5 minutes to fold towels
A MOM has shared her folding trick that saved her time on laundry.
Although her method proved controversial on TikTok, where she first divulged her secret cleaning hack, she nonetheless folds her washcloth towels in just five minutes.
Dez Marie (@thee.dezmarie) shared the laundry hack in a viral TikTok video.
She explained that she no longer folds her washcloths.
Instead, her new technique put her towels out of sight and out of mind.
“I literally throw them inside of these rope baskets, smash them down, and then sit them inside of the closet like this,” she said.
She placed all of her fresh towels inside a basket and placed the basket on a shelf, away from prying eyes.
“It disguises the fact that they’re not folded and it’s a major time saver,” she said.
Now, instead of taking up time to fold her towels and find a place to store them, she was simply done with “folding” her towels in five minutes.
Some of her viewers showed support for her simple but effective trick.
“I like how you work sis!” said one commenter.
“I found my people!” said another.
“I’ve been waiting to share this family secret but with who? Been doing it for years.”
“I feel liberated right now…. got to find some rope baskets,” said a third.
“No more folding.”
“This is the life hack I didn’t know I needed,” said a fourth.
It disguises the fact that they’re not folded and it’s a major time saver.

Others felt that although it saved time, the trick wasn’t for them.
“My OCD won’t let me do that,” said one dissenter.
“I fold mine halfway and stack them in my baskets.”
“Love the baskets but that would drive me crazy,” said another.
A few felt that the trick was a good middle ground for items that don’t need to be folded.
“I still fold towels and washcloths,” said one commenter.
“I stop folding clothes that we don’t put in hangers. It’s a TIME SAVER.”
