Folding Tips for Beautiful Drawers! (Clean My Space)

[@skyforce95]

OMG the folding arrangement is revolutionary for my drawers! I freed up so much space that I didn't realize I had! THANK YOU!

[@canyou8031]

I thought I'd look on-line to get help with how to organize my drawers and was prepared to look at a few different web-sites. Yours was the first site that I checked out and the last because yours is so great there's no need to look any further!

[@neppeta56]

sooo glad I found this. I redid my drawers in about 10 minutes. I totally emptied one by merging undies and socks thanks to ideas here. everything is nice and tidy now too

[@TypesALot]

I watched this video and did these tips exactly one year ago before I had surgery and I MAINTAINED it! The time it takes to get it organized will give you so much free time once you'd done it.

[@Estefany271]

I have tried this folding trick and I am LOVING IT!!!!!. My 3 year or is in LOVE with it as well. She opens her drawer or her baby sister's and says "Mama do you see this cool stuff, I like it". Awww. My favorite channel.

[@marymcnally4852]

Thank you so much - your advice on folding was a tremendous help. We now have tons of stuff to donate and even more to dump!! I love the way you get straight to the point and communicate your ideas in a friendly, yet authoritative manner.

[@kimnalfie]

Wow I'm pausing you and doing it as you go through, it's like magic! Twice the amount of room! I have a spare drawer! Thanks so much for making these videos you've saved me a ton of money. Kim, England, UK xx

[@countrylovinme]

I just discovered your channel and watched a lot of videos and I started thinking, "Has she read Marie Kondo's book, too?" And now I know you have! It's completely changed my drawers, too! Love it!

[@beverlyjones3921]

Hi Melissa I am a lady from Sydney Australia and I love watching your videos. Your video on folding and draw organisation encouraged me to buy some dividers and tackle my undie draw. I am amazed at how much neater and nicer it looks and not as crowded either. Please keep up the good work as we love watching your videos. Please do some more on folding.

[@cleanmyspace]

Should we do a follow-up video with some more folding tips?

[@jazzygirl24100]

Please do ☺

[@cleanmyspace]

Andrea Anonymous We aim to please :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJi3c2psp9tmr6M

[@cleanmyspace]

Andrea Anonymous No magic tricks but an easier method for sure - give it another try, I know you can do it!

[@rjordan231]

Maxi dresses! (For people who dont have their own closets)

[@Homeycircle]

just saw the follow-up video, cool folding tips!

[@haleygold9481]

Thanks so much! Today I cleaned my whole room, my drawers, desk and closet, and my room looks AMAZING! Thanks for the help :)

[@Babycakes2luv]

Thank you for your videos, helped me figure out what to do with my clothes and make more space. Have to get better at keeping it up, with 6 kids and in sports makes it hard. Cleaning relaxes me and feel better about my home

[@cleanmyspace]

My drawers were pretty disorganized, so I decided to figure out the best way to organize them - but keeping it quick and easy!

[@bingi99g]

Omg..ur soo amazing and pretty and ur videos are amazing

[@jessievenos7191]

Where did you get your drawer separates

[@zoe1613]

She got the drawer separators at Solutions in Canada..but in the USA it's called the Container Store. The brand is OXO good grips.

[@tatyannap3600]

just wanted to say I'm 15 years old and I'm pretty organized but my clothes ALWAYS get messy but this tip helped me so much! I literally watched this at 1030 & have been organizing my drawers like this since then! I have so much space now, everything is so neat I love it! thank you sm 😚💙

[@Peripatetic45]

***** 5:34 - spellchecker; just saying ;) Great video, as always; interesting that you are trying the KonMari folding.

[@thechumpian]

for the same reasons, my friend taught me to fold socks like that almost 20 years ago + her mom was a real estate agent & their house was literally never dirty, i mean it looked like a house on tv or in a magazine ALL THE TIME, like we couldn't even leave the house until the whole house was clean! but i love her for it bc who doesn't like coming home to a clean house? it's a great life lesson that was instilled in me from a young age. anyhow, i truly appreciate all of your videos bc they're very helpful & motivating (:

[@Dreamcoinlaundry]

Never thought of folding and piling up shirts, underwear and socks sideways can work-out to be so perfect which saves space and allows easy access to your garments! thanks for this cool folding tips!

[@spongekitkat0422]

I re folded my boyfriend's clothes following these methods. I just stared at his drawers, there so beautiful and organized

[@sara35ish]

I really love your videos. This one was amazing. I read Marie Kondo's book about folding clothing but being more of a visual person I found your video more helpful. I have done all but one of my drawers so far and aside from finding a t shirt that I could not find all summer , I now have wonderfully organized drawers. Thanks so much Melissa.

[@jessssssgames]

New Years res is to be as neat as this...starting today. I eventually freed up an entire drawer for beanies and hats. Thank you for this video, it helped me so much!

[@TonyHickschick]

Thanks for the nice tips. This seems helpful when you have a lot of items and small drawer space. My t-shirts are folded then rolled up. Rolling seems to make them a bit wrinkled but these are ones I wear around the house so it doesn't mater. My summer night shirts are done the same way. They are over sized t-shirts so again, it's okay if they are a bit wrinkled. The ones I wear out of the home I hang in the closet, though I know some people don't have the space for that.

[@teresinateresina]

Thank you Melissa! Inspired by this video I first organized my whole closet, then moved on to linen and then to anything that could be folded and stored in a smarter way. The resuld is great: space was freed and long lost garments were found.

[@cleanmyspace]

Francesca Bianchi AWESOME! You rock!

[@NerdfightingMom]

I've been using those methods since I read Marie Kondo's book. I find that I fold and put away my laundry right away because its so much easier and really its kind of a pleasure to open up drawers and see everything so neat.

[@cleanmyspace]

Heather Oliver Her book is pretty rad! It does help bring joy!

[@marionhewitt7771]

I'm definitely trying your folding tips. Not only does it look neater, but it will save space! Looking forward to both

[@EverythingIsAwesome3]

I'm so glad you elaborated on Chad's t-shirt drawer! I've been trying to figure out how he did it since last week! CMS you are a God send

[@cleanmyspace]

Mallory Elizabeth Aww thanks! Yes, we knew people were curious!

[@petya3406]

Hi Melissa! By coincidence, around one month ago, I stopped at your video which was on how to clean your toilet in 3 minutes, and since then I follow every video of yours, as you teach all of us very useful things! I have a lot of videos left to watch for time when I didn't know about you yet, but one day hopefully, I will manage to watch all of them :) Thank you for being here!

[@cleanmyspace]

Petya Balchiklieva Amazing!!! I love hearing that! One thing at a time, you don't need to do it all today. Small changes make big differences :)

[@DontDooTooMuch]

Going to definitely do this after I do my laundry lol. I moved into a 2 bedroom from a 3 bedroom so the smaller space absolutely drives me crazy! not much storage in my kitchen too ugh. thanks for the video!

[@MiuMiuG]

KonMari! That book has totally changed the way I live and occupy my space :) I'm glad you're enjoying it and learning from it too! xoxo

[@janellemccoy4376]

Love this folding video. Did my husbands drawers and they look amazing. He had so much stuff. Stuff we had forgotten about it. Thank you so much for the videos. They are awesome!

[@lphelps1989]

Thank you so much for making this video, Melissa!! My drawers are always a mess, especially my underwear & sock drawers! I'll give this a try!

[@cleanmyspace]

Leslie Phelps Great!

[@ltellis63]

Am currently working my way through Marie Kondo's book and through the "tidying up" of my life. Find this method of folding and organizing in my drawers to be the best. I really like the drawer dividers and may need to get some of these myself. Thanks!

[@cleanmyspace]

Leigh Taylor Ellis Glad to hear - her books is so helpful!

[@patricelambourne]

Very cute video! I thought this was the way everyone put away their clean laundry! I've been doing this for at least forty years. It was my survival technique when I had three kids - their drawers and my drawers. Now they are adults and on their own, with neat, organized drawers too.

[@juliateich8775]

I love your channel! You have a lot of great tips and it is so nice to implement them to make my space more clean.

[@cleanmyspace]

Julia Fuchs Glad to hear!

[@goirkens]

Just finished reorganizing my sock and underwear drawer. Those folding tips are AWESOME.

[@cleanmyspace]

goirkens AMAZING!

[@ClarinetAddict]

Just watching your videos have inspired me so much to clean my home today. I'm about to tackle my dresser clothes so wish me luck!

[@zadiemarr3027]

Love love love!! I always get this weird fulfillment after seeing my intimates folded and organized. I also love your cleaning tips. I have officially stumbled upon KZbin heaven! Keep'em coming :)

[@olgacluna1952]

Just discovered your videos and love them! I am a neat freak and I regularly organize and reorganize my and my husband's closets. I have dress shirts that flare at the bottom and are longer than the regular tees. Are they folded the way tees are folded? Thank you!

[@mshonnie2u]

I too have a cleaning business such as yourself I do the same things as you do with your organization and folding but your sock folding is perfect I think I will fold my socks you have done now as you say it stretches the tops out, thanks for this great tip

[@un4seenbeauty258]

My folding journey begins NOW! Thanks for the inspiration

[@missdarleneW]

I am glad I found your "Folding Tips" video. I used them all except for bras, because I don't wear foam , contour t-shirt bras like yours . The cups on my bras collaps so I fold them differently and don't have to worry about damaging them. Any way, thanks for the video. I now have more drawer space!

[@amexred]

I normally hang my shirts but I have so darn many right now I'm going to do that folding method. I also liked the sock method and the w pant hanging method in the followup video. Thanks!

[@lieselmartin2552]

Thank you so much, Melissa! I have learned a lot by watching your videos, keep them coming! :) I am doing my own clothing revamp and trying to use your tips with they way I have to do my clothing. Because I am ADD, I gave all my draws except one to my husband (Oh my gosh.. I know) and now, I have my clothing either on hangers or shelves where I can see them. I helps me get ready in the morning and I can take a quick inventory of what I have and need more of, in case I miss something in the laundry. If you have any thoughts that would make this little system easier and look as amazing as the drawers.. I would love to hear them. :) Thank you!

[@carris3ringcircus390]

I'm definitely going to try this with my kids drawers!! Hopefully it will keep them from (digging) and making me CRAZY!! THANKS!!!❤

[@sandragawinski3456]

Loved the re-organization ..especially the sock drawer..will also obtain the book you mentioned! Melissa you never disappoint !

[@Charles_ONeal]

I drive an eighteen wheeler and space is very valuable. This has really helped me get the most of my space.

[@Zig592]

Where did you get the things you use to separate your drawers? I just reorganized my clothing like this and its genius but I need something to keep everything separated!

[@sarahnicholls227]

Hi Melissa! I fold my socks as such: 1. I put one sock on top of the other 2. I roll them together (depending on if they have a print at the toe or not,) from the elastic to the toe 3. Then I grab a soft hair elastic that matches and wrap it around the bundle. Hope this helps! Love your videos! :D

[@ShanellePersaudMUA]

you may never understand how immensely satisfying your videos are. Lol! my ocd is so happy right now :) loveeee your tips and tricks.

[@cleanmyspace]

ShanellePersaudMUA Awww - glad I can meet that need! xo

[@r.joseph8911]

Melissa, you rule! I plan to do this and many, many other jobs you showcase. See, my wife and I are lazy! I want to do more at home, but sometimes I make excuses not to because I work a ton of hours. She, on the other hand, is a homemaker...and what I feel like adding here is probably more suited for a therapy channel! I'm hopeful we can be helped by you guys! Be well...

[@brandisexton6144]

Your sock drawer actually looked amazing. I actually have a full big drawer dedicated to my kids miss matched socks in hopes that I will find the other ones someday but I have recently decided to throw all of them away and go buy them each a couple of brand new packs of socks and start over again.

[@wermik89]

You actually saved me a lot of space with one of your videos on folding tights !

[@cleanmyspace]

wermik89 Amazing - glad to hear! I just have too many now, have to sort and get rid of them.

[@yvetteyasui]

I also reorganized my undie/sock drawer recently, but I like how you did your bras and will try it on mine. I did do Marie Kondo's sock method and I think both my socks and I are happier! Love this video, thanks for sharing!

[@cleanmyspace]

Yvette Yasui Great - happy socks are great socks!

[@kuteykristen]

Oh how I can relate!! My husband is like Chad with his extremely neatly folded t-shirt drawer etc. Mine are like yours before this revamp! I might try it when we move into our new home in 2 weeks. Thanks for your videos as always!

[@cleanmyspace]

kuteykristen GRRRRRRR! #husbands.

[@maryavelis1157]

After watching a few of your laundry vids. I plan to get organized, as well as fold and hang as soon as it's dry.

[@PoojamahimkarBlogspotIn]

That's amazing! Look at all the space you freed up!

[@cynthiaericson6978]

i tried this and have maintained it. i like that i can fit more in my small drawers

[@angelicraver]

My drawers aren't very deep, after watching your video, I tried rolling my t shirts & shorts and it worked! I can see everything I have, I can easily grab just what I need and am able to reduce wrinkles. Thanks CMS!

[@gaylemamabutterfly]

I absolutely love Chad's T-shirt drawer. My hubby has so many and he "paws" through the drawer and leaves it a mess...Chad's way you can see at a glance which one you want. Great idea.

[@amandastump7421]

just bought my first bureau in about 15 years and i needed this video. rn all my clothes are just piled in, but i'm going to try this out and see what it does for me

[@cleanmyspace]

What are your folding tips and tricks???

[@moebius435]

I just roll things up like this: www.wikihow.com/Roll-Clothes

[@suhaymahsajid186]

***** gurl i jus throw my socks like u lol

[@AhmedRamadan-pt2qt]

***** I use the ranger roll method for almost everything, learned it from u too :D it is veryeffective specially when packing for a trip.. takes about 10 mns. not veryspace friendly though, and u get confused a lot when u dont see the patterns on ur tshirts, but for socks its wonderfull, the drawer looks like a fruit basket with sock fruits in it.

[@suhaymahsajid186]

***** gurl this is the best cleaning tip Thankyou Thankyou 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@bethvlasman1748]

***** I use Skubb boxes from Ikea (www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/00192631/#/20250804) to keep my undies and socks similarly organized as you have in the video. It also encourages me to rotate through my clothes by picking clothes from the front of the box and loading clean clothes at the back.

[@christianagonzales2684]

I love the method you use now my drawers are organized

[@NadiaZoe1111]

Omg that's exactly how I store my underwears. I usually fold my bras but I will try your technique. I'm just going to come clean...I have OCD. Gosh I feel so much better now. I just love your videos Melissa

[@cleanmyspace]

Nadia Donald Coolio! Thank you so much!

[@jayashreerana3867]

Just got your book Clean my space! Just started on my journey! Wish me luck!!!!

[@superaims]

This is exactly what my intimates drawer looks like. I roll my socks and they look beautiful

[@snydershaun]

In sock drawer and tshirt drawer, I created some dividers using 3 inch tall strips cut from a cardboard box. They have a half-slip joint in the full-length so that they all interlock. This grid divider helps when you pull a pair of socks out or a tshirt and it doesn't disturb the rest of the neatly organized items.

[@battlestar64]

I am totally trying these methods tomorrow!!!!

[@mehnaz2169]

You inspire me now time to do some organising, I've got double what you have and a whole other wardrobe

[@suzannerose3104]

I already reorganized my drawers and I freed up three complete drawers so now I can store more items making my room appear cleaner and less cluttered :)

[@cleanmyspace]

Suzanne Rose Great!

[@allieblank5992]

Just did it!! Love! And am currently reading Marie Kondo's book!

[@Powerstroke98]

Male here, had to jump forward a bit, but looking how you fold t-shirts. Looks like the old way tends to be my favourite, thanks!

[@Cantetinza17]

I did this over the weekend and I cleared up 2 drawers. I spent all this money on these little folding organizer things and this way is way better! I still have not tackled that undergarment drawer. It's a lot. no I will not get rid of any! Only if they are in bad shape. For the shirts I folded mine one more time in half and it still worked well.

[@farahdyer-steel3877]

I'm keen to try that sock folding technique as my husband's socks often lose their elasticity as you mentioned. It also turns out I only own 3 pairs of anklet socks myself = time to go shopping!!!

[@ohleecreates1091]

Omg! Frees up Soo much space! I'm Soo gonna do this tomorrow! Thanks Melissa!

[@cleanmyspace]

Olivia Arenas You are most welcome!

[@princessbry3597]

I tried the sock folding trick a long time ago and it works it make ur folding life easier

[@melanie.1799]

Wow... Chads drawers are so colorful and beautiful! But yours are 2x better tbh. I kinda feel embarrassed about my drawers... Time for some cleaning!!!

[@sherrykenwood2766]

Where did you get your drawer dividers?

[@kinetikfox16]

I fold my shirts that way, but I never would have thought about doing that for the socks. lol thanx Melissa!

[@cleanmyspace]

***** You are most welcome!

[@TheLhester1965]

I found you from At Home With Nikki. I love you, you are so interesting and humorous!!

[@fungaimushambi4717]

I am definitely going to try this out tomorrow! so glad i came across this video!

[@katerinamafiosa]

Great and useful video. What do we do for the no show and/or ankle socks? how do those get folded? maye just in half?

[@lisabeishline578]

Great video! I have folded my clothes like this for several years now and it's so easy for me to stay organized. My only problem is that I don't like to fold laundry--any suggestions there? LOL

[@TheKiwivideo]

I'm getting off the computer and headed to my closet. That season of Hoarders made me too passive. Re-inspired. Thank you! :)

[@criminalmastermind8]

I'm definitely going to try that with my socks. I also am going to grab some drawer dividers too. :)

[@elovesp1]

I fold mine the same way except for the bra. I have to fold them n half for obvious reasons. Great video Melissa! Always great to watch.

[@cleanmyspace]

elovesp1 Gotchya!

[@kalliste01]

With the shirts all standing up, how do you stop multiple coming out at once and, how do you easily put them back in?

[@adirgeforher]

Kalliste dividers/ squishing them in

[@katquiroga]

+Kalliste you probably have a little too many shits in each row i had that same problem but when i removed two or three they still stayed up and slipped out and in easily.

[@kellyh3889]

+Kalliste I wondered this myself.

[@arbrefleuri]

What a great excuse to go shopping afterwards! :p My t-shirts are folded that way too. I might try it out for the socks.

[@Claudia-rl1kl]

Is it weird that I am super excited to reorganize my drawers. I saw Chad's in last weeks video and was wondering how you did that and now I know. Thanks CMS!

[@cleanmyspace]

Claudia Montagnese NOT WEIRD!

[@Sara-jc4xw]

Melissa, do you have any suggestions for making sure your clothes don't fall down after you fold them? I sometimes have that little bit of space behind it and the clothing all slides backward.

[@WithoutIssue]

Sara1227 I have exactly the same question; how do you stop things falling over when you've removed several items over the week?

[@cleanmyspace]

Sara1227 you can get a block or old box and place it behind!

[@cleanmyspace]

WithoutIssue See above and below for great ideas!

[@WithoutIssue]

***** Thank you. No more excuses now, so I'd better get cracking.

[@kezla]

This is super inspiring thank you! How do you fold and store pajamas? (Those are in my forth drawer :D

[@cleanmyspace]

Kezla I wear tees and shorts, so I just fold them as I demo'd in the video. Shorts I just fold in half :)

[@kezla]

Thanks!

[@starstreet46]

So glad i found this channel, im all in for neatness and more space, thnx u x

[@Todayisanewday.]

Amazing folding tricks! Thanks so much, working on it right now.

[@fareekaosman2413]

Melissa your videos are awesome!Please can you make two videos for a week coz i cant wait from one saturday to the next.Its testing my patience.Plsssssdss

[@sagejade8029]

Here's a quick tip: Use a normal sized magazine to fold your t-shirts. Flip the shirt over (print side down) and place the magazine right under the collar. Fold the sides in and accordion fold the sleeves in. Slide out the magazine, and fold up twice. This gives you equal sized shirts, no matter what! It is much simple than it sounds.

[@traceyporter6211]

Thanks, Melissa. Do you have any suggestions for cleaning the actual drawer? I have an antique dresser that I use for socks, undies, etc. and could use a cleaning. I live in North Carolina, which tends to be a bit humid and makes the drawers a bit difficult to slide. I use a bit of bar soap on the undersides to help them slide smoothly. Any other suggestion that may help with this? Thanks so much for your videos and enthusiasm about cleaning!

[@joanb3907]

Love the sock idea definitely going to try it!

[@cleanmyspace]

Joan B Thanks - I am sure you'll love it!

[@jewels931]

storing bras the way you did when re-organising is actually better for their longevity too, so it looks pretty AND it's saving the bras.

[@cleanmyspace]

jewels931 Yes - exactly!

[@HopeDiamond101]

This is really helpful. My dressers are so unorganized and it appears that I have a lot of clothes. Hopefully using your techniques, it will eliminate the crowding in my dressers and be able to wear more of my clothes that I haven't seen or worn. Also, I would like to know if you have any tips on folding and/or organizing space for costumes.

[@Sveiksmobile]

Hooray for awesome folding!

[@radhika8733]

I in luv wd Ur all videos..after marriage it has really help me a lot as I located new place...awesome videos

[@channelabouteverything9714]

I will totally be trying this!!! Thanks Melissa!

[@peterlimbrick69]

great job, thanks for sharing. I wonder if you have come across a good way to fold Men's cotton Boxer's?

[@Ayre2]

Hey there Melissa, I used to work at Victorias Secret and if you want you can line your bras the way you showed but turn them upside down so the straps aren't showing. Makes it look neater AND if you really want to get fancy ROYGBIV them with pink being first. Great videos!

[@cleanmyspace]

Shayranee NICE idea!
