[@kevinakurtz]

Loved the "Fold Off" guys. Congrats, Chad, but Melissa is still the Queen of Clean!

[@lisabeishline578]

Great tips on folding clothes. I personally like to fold my towels in half and then in thirds because they will stack better in the small cabinet that I store them in. I fold everything else basically the same as you show in the video and have for years because it's the easiest way for me to fold. Thanks for all of your great videos and I look forward to the next video!

[@judeouano1381]

I love it it makes me help folding my towel, t-shirt and shirt

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

a new Container Store opened closer to my home and I purchased one of those foldie things! I love it so much It helps make folding shirts and towels so neat

[@marissasharp9892]

Loved the Clint Eastwood showdown there! Cheered me up considerably, LOL! Y'all rock!!!

[@SarahR745]

Loved the showdown at the end. Fun to watch. I should be folding laundry now but I'm enjoying my couch instead. hahaha

[@blinghyunism]

Please do something about folding scarves and winter hats! They seem so simple, but tips to make them less bulky would be great.

[@sabaha7881]

What a coincidence! I just got a new dresser and this works perfectly thanks for sharing! :)

[@amberl4401]

This is great! Thanks for the help.

[@aliciag1580]

Loved the t-shirt folding challenge!! Haha!! The first method works best for me.

[@deannaw5282]

Great hacks to fold shirts, jackets dresses, and more I love the way you do it even if you throw it will not unfold Even if it falls it will just stay folded amazing❤❤❤❤😊

[@rollingthrees]

I really love the way you present the material, great voice ( i mean not that kind of annoying) and educational!

[@verboselie]

I swear every time I watch any video on this channel the only thing going through my mind is: "yep, I've really found my people." All my friends I'm crazy for all of the random cleaning projects I've got going at any given time & because I fold everything, just so, while doing laundry. I just like to know and use the most efficient way!

[@Sara-jc4xw]

OMG THAT TRICK WITH THE MAGAZINE!!! So helpful!! I've been struggling for years on how to fold those shirts for my dad. Gonna try it on the next load of laundry!

[@lisaafong1111]

Sara1227 Instead of a magazine I use a cheap plastic 9" x 12" clip board. I find it easier since the clip board is sturdy and not flimsy like a magazine. Since the plastic is sturdy and smooth it slides out of shirts very easy. I keep the clip board on a shelf in the laundry where I do my folding. I use it to fold all my shirts, t-shirts, sweaters etc that way every thing is folded the same size.

[@Sara-jc4xw]

Great idea also! I don't have a 9" x 12" clip board, but your idea is just BRILLIANT! I think using anything with a rectangular/square shape would work perfectly :)

[@boatwidow2002]

Lisaa Fong Awesome tip!

[@elainemarie9470]

+Lisaa Fong What a great tip. They can be found at the dollar stores. I got suckered in, when the FlipNFolds first came out, at $20. I think even the flip fold device, is also at the dollar places.

[@mikerogers6136]

But you can't read the clip board next time you wear that shirt???? LoL :^) Greetings from New Zealand...

[@karynhilton6220]

Thank y’all so much for the wonderful video s

[@Sveiksmobile]

Happy long weekend, Melissa and Chad! :)

[@nandita601]

Great tips! thanx for sharing

[@karlacorona5595]

wow this is actually helpful. good job

[@marcypeter7913]

Love this adorable lady... funny and enjoyable!

[@TheEvolvingMe]

Thank you, very helpful.

[@andrewrandolph8278]

I know you have a video on it but I'm still working on folding a fitted sheet...😐 Great video and ugh I just love it when the tp is folded and on the holder!!!😂

[@ionychel]

Thanks for this folding video.

[@tanusharughoobur6152]

that tshirt folding method i was just like HUH.... THATS FREAKING AWESOME!

[@kashferowen2861]

Yea I know

[@97AshleyRose]

Tanusha Rughoobur Ikr I work at kohl’s.That one method where she grabbed the corners of the shirt and pulled would be way faster once mastered. Than using the method that involves laying shirt flat and folding each side and sleeve on the shirt than folding the bottom up and flipping over so that the print shows.

[@jessssssgames]

I probably said this before, but I love your folding videos. I used the one for regular shirts, pants, undergarments, and found that I had more space in them to store hats/beanies, and had a full extra drawer to put other things in. These really work and I really just want to thank you.

[@duquette6]

I just reorganized my drawers and I added my shirts into it and even though I added some clothes to it I got an extra drawer now just by folding my clothes properly!!!!!

[@jessssssgames]

duquette6 I love when that happens, haha. Congrats!

[@juno1218.]

Really Good Idea!!!

[@shareeb9321]

Great tips. thank you

[@nagavish8825]

I love the cool Japanese method of folding the T shirt.

[@sapnapunmagar1060]

THANK YOU SO MUCH MELISSAMAKER :)

[@NessasDay]

How about a video on purging and/or organization for back to school. This house & especially the kids room could use a good deep cleaning and purge for a fresh start to a new school year. Thanks! Love love love your channel!!

[@shannonz9256]

Melissa, I love your shirt! :)

[@Looloowa74]

Hi! I like my towels with smooth edges. I first fold the towel in thirds rather than half like u did in length. then I go ahead and fold the rest of the way like u did. It just hides the edges so they look smooth. And yes I get excited over hotel spas and rooms as well. Something about well folded towels that make me happy.

[@elainemarie9470]

Yes! I am the same.

[@dsound6884]

Wow Chad is an excellent folder. I'm jealous! LOL

[@nelikellough9067]

Thank u Melissa, such an informative video! I thought I would share one cool tip I came across once. It's about toilet paper:P I learned if u put a few drops of ur favorite essential oil on side of ur roll it works like a air freshener and ur bathroom will smell amazing! Hope ur day is beautiful, hugs!

[@elainemarie9470]

Great idea! I am allergic to synthetic fragrances, and the natural sprays are pricey.

[@tomilyngarot2807]

Thanks for the video :). I find skirts and dresses hard to fold for packing when going out of town.

[@highlymedicated5936]

Nice hoodie tips thanks! I'll have to try on my bigger hoodies.

[@Danielagostinho21]

I spend the last summer practicing the 5 second t-shirt fold method, keeps better and better, really quick

[@Billy_Silva]

Nice tip Blosson !! :)

How to store jewelry and organize makeup please Also love the videos, they are my cleaning inspiration!

[@alexakisth]

oh my god i love your pillows :D

[@ckinahan1]

you're my new hero. I SO wish I'd found u sooner! I'm in the process of moving now and ended up throwing everything from my wreck of a home into storage and plan to read Marie Kondo's first book while I find my new space. hopefully that way when I'm unpacking I can throw tons of stuff out so I don't end up living in such a cluster next time. plus I'm going to read everything on your website and I already subscribed here and now I'm going to follow u everywhere else! I hated the disorganization and clutter but bc I didn't know how to fix it, I just sat amongst it cursing!!! lol. never again. Do you guys have any articles or videos on moving and/or unpacking and organizing in a new space? that wud be really helpful to keep in mind while apt hunting... ur brilliant BTW, I 💗 u! 😘

[@rajsunar2324]

Love CLEAN MY SPACE..

[@incy_eliz]

I would LOVE to see a back to school or two videos. Lice, lockers, backpacks ect.....

[@TophPower]

They are such a cute couple!

[@loveofwonder]

Blankets, sheets, fitted sheets especially

[@aliciasibole4673]

loveofwonder Yes! I always struggle to fold sets of sheets to the same size, I feel like it would look so nice to fold them to the same dimensions like you get it when you buy them.

[@2youlauren]

loveofwonder Look at her old videos. She made a video about that!

[@brooklynstephens5477]

That’s cool

[@brooklynstephens5477]

That’s neat

[@tennam3908]

[@km-eo8vc]

[@samella35]

U and Chad bring me laughter.

[@howl2060]

My younger sister (Shadow14Spinat) is absolutely addicted to you! She loves you and has basically written all of your hacks down and is cleaning all of the house! (i bareøy have to clean my room and closet anymore!

[@brooklynstephens5477]

I love it

[@dominicjames8559]

The Tshirt fold is definitely a party piece!

[@diannaphillips3357]

I just sent the link to this video to my preteen and teen daughters. Hope they pay attention!!

[@dharasvlogindianmomhomeusa]

[@isaacnewton9154]

Very good tips thanks a lot you people and KZbin also

[@Shorty24136]

We roll our hoodies into the hood it works really well for us and makes it easy to pick up and chuck in a bag for the day and it will stay neat in the bag as well :D First fold it like the button up until it is long and thin and roll into the hood simple as pie :D

[@claudiawilson2213]

I do the Japanese shirt folding technique and add another fold so that it's the same dimensions as your original shirt folding technique. It stands up by itself and I find it faster than the original method

[@rehanakhan7534]

Thank you so much

[@Taylor-fh9ih]

Where are your good morning and good night pillows from?? I love them!! 😍

[@fadinajjar8197]

great one. God bless

[@nihuwunderlove8149]

Hiii

[@Newpj58]

I'd love to see how you fold your fitted sheets. Thanks for you videos, love em!

[@abuelitaana191]

I get all my shirts folded with a medium notebook as soon as Im ironing because I like to have it stacked perfectly and I like all the shirts to get perfectly folded for the size of the drawer :)

[@jenocean824]

The art of folding our things in exchange for living our lives as fast as possible has been lost. My mom always folded our clothes, towels, sheets, (yes even the fitted sheets) so beautifully. She tried to pass that on to me. Yes it takes a little extra time but its worth it.

[@wendyveith]

love these videos! How about summer shorts please?

[@hydrohydraulic6722]

This was helpfull

[@brooklynstephens5477]

Thank you

[@joannakef2713]

[@tamalele4737]

good tip

[@maheshshelar4696]

Very nice i like

[@EEN63]

Melissa, while Chad "appeared" to have won the folding contest, I would like to see what those T-shirts looked like weeks after they've been folded. I would think yours would look less wrinkled, as Chad just flipped in the sides without shaking or smoothing out anything. So the real winner is Melissa as far as I can tell... and only a couple of shirts slower in fold time but much neater and more wearable without needing to iron (and that's always a winner in my book!)! However, I must say I enjoyed Chad's victory celebration. He's a funny guy! I enjoyed the video, regardless of who won. Also, I'm all about the folded side of my towels showing in the linen closet. However, if you fold it lengthwise in thirds, then in half, and in half again, you only have one side with raw edges. When it comes time to hang your towel on the towel rod, you only unfold the last fold and it's ready to hang easily and beautifully. Additionally, I fold my TP into points when I have company too! The devil is in the details!!! Well done!

[@Visranda]

You are awesome haha

[@tabithaparson7421]

bed sheets and dresses and jackets for storage during off season

[@grlkckbxr]

I love your vids and tips! I don't usually insist there is one right way to do something, but towels! NO! Thirds lengthwise, then thirds again. You have the same round edge in front and it hides the edges on both sides. Most importantly, when you take them out and hang them on the towel bar, they are symmetrical with no edges showing except the trimmed edge on the bottom (if there is one). Thanks for all your help! I'm trying to print out and put together a "book" of all your stuff for my kid heading off to college.

[@sudhatgvel]

I am addicted to your video! Loved your pillows. Did you make it or buy those pillow cases? How much time you spend for cleaning. After watching your video, I do the cleaning but feel most of the day is gone in cleaning:(

[@Thestralsxxx]

No no fold the towel in thirds at first! It's even prettier

[@boatwidow2002]

Thestralsxxx YES, then all the edges are on the inside ;)

[@shazar4451]

+Thestralsxxx please explain how not sure what you mean. Flat it out and then fold?

[@karabeara6632]

I used to work In hotel Industry, the lay in long ways and fold it in 3s is actually better and looks better, easier to stack. Both methods are pretty

[@annascott3542]

I fold everything in thirds! Thirds rule.

[@faryalkhan5677]

[@cazraz04]

just a quick tip .... when I fold hoodies I always fold the body part as normal then tuck it inside the hood then when you open your closet you can see the hood first so you know its not just an ordinary sweater :)

[@flickchick321]

Off topic, but I totally love your shirt in this video! Where did you get it?

[@eileeneclark9011]

I never mastered the Japanese folding shirt method. I prefer the initial folding method because it's easier and stacks better in the drawer, and wow Chad was very impressive during the show down. lol. Also how would fold sport bras and shorts (especially the jersey shorts that always wiggle out)?

[@belijhyani1293]

The Japanese method Was to different
