A TikTok mum has been flooded with praise for her super helpful sheet-folding tip.

Folding fitted sheets is a universally hated task. The corners never match up, it never folds flat, things never go according to plan. Thankfully this TikToker’s mum has come to our rescue with her genius trick for folding up your bedsheets.

The clip, posted by Amy Danastas, shows her mum hanging a fitted sheet over a washing line outside. She folds each side over once, then again to form one single column. She then slides the sheet off of the line, folding it in half the other way twice to get a perfectly neat folded sheet.

The clip has amassed a whopping 3.5 million views, and over 250,000 likes. Comments flooded in in appreciation for Amy’s mum, with one user calling her trick “LIFE CHANGING!”, and another adding that “This has just saved a lot of stress”.

While some TikTokers were downright stunned, one commenting “She cracked a code we didn't even know existed”, others were concerned by some practicalities.

“Can she teach us how to do it if we don’t have a clothesline?” one user commented, and this sentiment was echoed by many. Another felt they’d missed the first step, adding “Now can you teach us how to hang it on the line that neat??” 

Fear not though Gen Z and Millennials, you aren’t the only ones struggling to figure out what to do with fitted sheets. One senior TikToker gave their two cents, saying “I gave up 50 years ago”.
