According to Debra Archbald, CEH, of the International Executive Housekeepers Association (IEHA), here are a few simple steps to folding a fitted sheet:

• With the sheet entirely inside-out place your left hand into any corner and your right hand into the next closest corner.
• Bring your hands together, flip the corner on your right hand over the corner on your left hand. Your right hand will be free and your left hand will be holding two corners.
• Transfer both corners to your right hand. Run your left hand down the length of the sheet and next gather the two remaining corners together with the left hand.
• With two corners on each hand bring your hands together and flip the corners from your right hand onto your left hand.
• Grasp the right edge and shake out the sheets allowing elasticized edges to fall towards you. Lay on a flat surface.
• Fold in thirds lengthwise and then in half. Smooth sheets to your satisfaction.
