Are you completely sick of those lumpy towels shoved into your linen closet?  Super embarrassed to hand overnight guests a poorly-folded, wrinkled towel?  Tired of wasting time trying to figure out how to fold towels perfectly?  No worries!  Read on.  I’ve got you covered!

There are tons of ways you can fold bath towels.  I used to fold my towels in thirds vertically, then in thirds horizontally.  But as a busy woman who works 60 hours per week, I just don’t have time for that!  I’m no Martha Stewart, after all.

To save time on laundry day, I started folding my towels differently.  This little laundry hack has made a huge difference!  I can blow through a basket of clean towels and have them folded in just a minute or two.  The towels still look neat and tidy in my linen closet.  The folding method is super quick and easy, and you could even teach it to your kids and enlist them to help fold.

Since this method for folding towels has worked so well for me, I want to share it with you!  Read on below, or check out my video tutorial for how to fold bath towels step by step.  I’ll also share a few tips and ideas to make folding easier.

How to Fold Bath Towels

This method takes just a few steps, and it’s super fast!  Let’s get to it.

  • Start by holding the bath towel at the corners on a long edge – so the length of the towel is side-to-side in front of you.
  • Next, fold the towel in half, length-wise; the fold will be parallel to the short edges
  • Fold the towel in half again, in the same direction
  • Then, fold the towel downward into thirds

And that’s it!  This super easy folding method takes just a few seconds per towel.  In my opinion, this is the best way to fold bath towels.

Bath Towel Folding Tips

Once you master this folding technique, you’ll be folding towels in seconds flat.  Here are a few tips and ideas for how to fold bath towels as quickly and neatly as possible.

  • Give the towel a good shake after each step to remove any turned-up corners
  • Keep corners and edges even for a tidy fold
  • You can straighten your folds and tuck in any lose edges after you’re done, or not… after all, the towels are probably going to be sitting in your linen closet
