Are you tired of messy and disorganized cleaning rags? Do you find yourself constantly rummaging through a pile of cloths just to find the one you need? Well, worry no more because I have a game-changing tip for you.
I recently came across a TikTok video by @xmarrylou that showed a genius folding technique for storing cleaning rags. And let me tell you, it has changed my cleaning game forever. So, I wanted to share it with all of you!

First things first, you’ll need to gather some boxes or containers. But don’t worry, you probably already have some lying around your house. The key is to find boxes that are not too much taller than your neatly folded cloths. This way, you can always see what’s inside without having to dig through the box.
If you have wider boxes, don’t fret. You can still use them by arranging the cloths in two rows. Just make sure to leave enough space between the rows so you can easily grab a cloth when needed.
Now, onto the folding technique. It’s super simple, I promise. Fold the cleaning rags into small packets that can stand upright on their own. This will make it easier to stand the cloths up in a row.
Once you have your neatly folded cloths, stand them up in a row inside the box. This method not only saves space, but it also allows you to easily grab a cloth when you need it. No more digging through a messy pile!
And the best part? This folding technique also makes storing the cloths after a fresh wash a breeze. You can simply place the clean cloths at the back of the row, and use the ones in the front first. It’s a first in, first out system that will keep your cleaning rags organized and ready to use.
I have been using this method for a few weeks now, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. It has made my cleaning routine so much easier and more efficient. Plus, it’s a great way to repurpose old boxes and containers instead of buying new storage solutions.
So, next time you do laundry and have a pile of cleaning rags to put away, remember this folding technique. Trust me, it will make a world of difference. Happy tidying, my friends!
