Haven't completed your spring cleaning yet? Well, you have a few more days until it officially becomes summer cleaning — but who wants to be stuck inside doing chores when there are beaches to visit and barbecues to attend? If tidying up your closet or drawers is high on the to-do list, there's a simple gadget that can streamline the process: the BoxLegend T-Shirt Folding Board, which will set you back just $13 at Amazon.
Now the only question is, are you getting it in black or green?
This little gizmo is one of those products that is so uncomplicated, you'll wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. It's made up of six plastic panels that are held together with hinges. All you do is lay your shirt or sweater on it flat, then fold the panels over. The result is clothing that's folded into perfect rectangles. When your clothes are folded uniformly, they stack better and fit more neatly in drawers.
For people who love a well-organized drawer but don't like to fold laundry, this is efficiency and organization at its best — even one of TV's most persnickety characters uses one and makes it look so easy. We're talking about The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper, of course. With a flip and a clap, T-shirts are folded in a snap!
This clever helper has helped keep over 3,600 rave reviewers organized.
"Finally, something to make doing the laundry fun!" shared an excited shopper, who called it one of the best things they'd ever purchased. "Apart from the fun part, it folds all the shirts and sweaters the same width and length, so now when I put them in my dressing room, they look really nice, neat and the same size. It is plastic that has to open and close, so don't expect it to be heavy or thick."
"I really like this product," said someone who declutters for a living. "As a professional organizer, I fold a lot of T-shirts. I love how all the shirts are the same size when using this. ... I have added this to my clients' list of must-haves to maintain the look of perfection."
"I was skeptical at first," admitted an eventual convert. "After reading the directions, I was surprised and impressed with it. It worked perfectly, and my shirts [and] trousers and folded like a department store had them folded. Highly recommended."
"I just love this T-shirt folder," wrote a mostly pleased garment presser, adding, "I only wish it could handle XL tees better."
"Love this product," raved a final buyer. "The plastic could be a little sturdier, but other than that, [it's] fast and easy to use. Got shirts folded in minutes, not hours."
Psst — here's another laundry helper we love:
