Gather These Tools: 

Crease Release, Fabric Fresh Classic

STEP 1:

Fold sheets right out of the dryer to avoid wrinkles. 5 minutes before the cycle is complete, spray Crease Release directly into the drum for a wrinkle-free finish. If you miss the timing, don't worry! Spray and continue.

STEP 2:

Drape the sheet over your hands right-side out with the elastic edge facing you. Hold the sheet by the adjacent corners of one of the longer sides.

STEP 3:

Bring your right hand to the left, folding the sheet in half horizontally and tucking one corner into another.

STEP 4:

Lay flat on a large, clean surface like a bed, table, or clean floor.

STEP 5:

Fold the side farthest from you in towards the center.

STEP 6:

Repeat with the other side closest to you, and overlap the first side about 1/2 inch in the center.

STEP 7:

Fold each of the ends to meet in the center.

STEP 8:

Once again, fold one side over the other. Give the final touches and smooth out any bumps.

STEP 9:

For a final finishing touch, spritz with Fabric Fresh Classic.
