Fitted sheets: the bane of any mother’s existence, no? You’ve washed the thing, ironed it and aired it, and now all that’s left is to fold it neatly away in the hot press – oh but wait, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to fold!
While you may be rolling your eyes at this point, it seems that there are a lot of people out there who, like us, have an ultimate fear of folding the corner-less sheet of legend – which is why this woman’s tutorial on perfecting it has gone viral. Seriously.
It may seem simple to some of you, but there’s a knack for getting the fitted sheet into a perfect little square, ready to lay out all pretty on the bed. And thanks to this wonderful woman, the secret is now common knowledge.
Well I'll be. I thought you just wadded them up and shoved them on a shelf. ;) https://t.co/oXgNm7h6g6 https://t.co/iGnmgIP9tj

Just watched a 2 min viral video on how to correctly fold a fitted sheet. I still have no idea on how to correctly fold a fitted sheet.

This video has been doing the rounds across social media since being uploaded to Facebook earlier this week, with many people praising this woman for solving a long-running laundry issue!
The nugget of wisdom aside, we particularly love this woman’s words of encouragement throughout: “Just do the best that you can.” Isn’t that the best advice anyone can ever give?
Check out the famed tutorial below. Were you ahead of the game all along?
