1. How to fold a duvet cover alone?
It's not always easy to fold a duvet cover when you're alone. Here is a method that will greatly help you in this task.
Step 1: Prepare the cover well before folding
To make folding easier and avoid unsightly creases, it is better to fold your household linen in a suitable place. Choose a flat surface that will allow you to lay your entire duvet cover flat. You can spread it out on a large table or on your bed if you're short on space.
Once dry (to avoid mold), you can iron your bed linen before folding it. However, after being put in the dryer, your cotton sateen and cotton percale duvet covers should be smoothed out. By laying your cover flat on a large table, you can easily remove the last wrinkles.
Step 2: Proceed to fold the cover
If you have a wallet cover, remember to fold the flap towards the inside of the cover to obtain a perfect rectangle. It's easier to bend a simple shape from the start.
Once your cover is laid out on a flat surface, you can begin folding . Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, then in half again widthwise. You end up with a smaller rectangle, easier to handle.
Then work along the length of the sheet , folding your sheet in two first time, then a second time. Aligning the angles is important, it allows you to obtain an optimal result.
To finish, fold the fabric in thirds widthwise, to obtain a nice little “package”. All you have to do is store your cover in your closet, flat or vertically, next to your previously folded washed linen duvet cover .
Step 3: Tidy up
If you want to have your complete set stored in the same place in your drawer, simply put your sheet and your pillowcase on the cover before the final folding. Thus, they find themselves safe in your little “package”, perfectly stored and above all ready to be used.
Depending on the width of your drawers , you can fold your duvet covers a little differently. Instead of folding the length of the sheet four times, you can fold it just three times. What matters is to use the same method each time for aesthetic storage!
2. How to fold a duvet cover easily?
For easy folding , you can ask for the help of a second person, especially if your interior is narrow.
Step 1: Folding the cover in two
Sit in a large enough room. Take the first two corners of your cover, leaving the length of the fabric in front of you. Have your partner take the other end, telling them to hold the corners firmly .
Fold the fabric in half lengthwise first, then widthwise a second time. You end up with a rectangle that is more easily manipulated . Alone or in pairs, you can continue to fold your bed linen on a flat surface, depending on the space available in the room.
Step 2: Finishing in pairs or solo
As in the first method, you can fold your duvet cover lengthwise , in quarters or in thirds, depending on the space available in your closet. If you do this step in pairs, be careful not to leave folds on the fabric. The decoration of your bedding will be even more beautiful.
To finish, fold the duvet cover in thirds, widthwise . Once again, you can put your sheet and pillowcases on the cover before making this final fold. Do not worry. By choosing the right method, folding the fitted sheet becomes easy. His elastic will also finally be put away!
