When changing/storing sheets, put the entire set inside one of the pillow cases, that way you aren’t hunting for missing pieces when ready to make the bed.
Your Pillow will never feel the same way as before. It will lose its Soft Pliability and it will Plump up. Your pillow might remain cleaner for longer but the experience of sleeping on them will be 5x LESS.
In nursing 101 lab. We learned to grab the outside bottom of the pillow with your hand still holding that grab and invert the case up your arm (it will be inside out at this point). You then grab the bottom (tag side) with your grabby hand, reach up and pull the inverted case down over the pillow. Slick move and no laying anything down and picking it up again.
And the nursing rationale was, we didn’t want the clean pillowcase touching anything that could be dirty (like our chin) and didn’t want to aerosolize anything either when we would shake the pillowcase.
I karate chop the pillow in half lengthwise and grab the top corners together to make it pointy. The pointy end goes immediately to the bottom of the case. Release grip and the pillow expands into the case perfectly
Thank you Andrea, have you tried a silk pillow case. I found one at Walmart and love it and will not go back to the cotton ones. So nice and sleep well. I use to suffer with horrible migraines 😕. Now after menopause that is over. Just love the silk material!!! Joan ❤❤❤
Going to be 30yrs in since I received my Nursing Assistant Certificate. That is how the Head Nurse taught us and I never for gotten. You were taught by a maid to tuck in the pillow case, I tuck my in because I had a kind size pillow case and a standard size pillow. After I figured it out, I continued with all the pillow cases and it looked very neat and tidy 👍👍👍👍
My Momma was a Southern Belle and taught me those tricks for pillowcases and also how to fold fitted sheets properly (which is good because we have a King Size bed and sheets, pillows and pillowcases are all oversized. Thank you for you expert tips!
I would love to learn how to fold a fitted sheet a neat way. If I even try to lay it down flat and make sense of it, it falls apart as soon as I pick it up. I end up rolling mine up in a ball. It’s terrible.
@Andrea Jean Cleaning I honestly DO appreciate it!! I've struggled too many years with my flip flop flaps on my pillow cases 🙃 😪 and now, thanks to wonderful YOU, they won't drive me batty any longer 😘❤ I fixed them lil buggers last night after watching your video!! 😁
Hi Andrea! I love all your videos. They are really helpful. Especially this one. My pillows are quite big and heavy and this hack makes it a lot easier to put the cases on them. I also love the tucking hack, since I have overhang on my pillow cases and it looks bad and always causes them to slide around the pillows. But now, with this hack, they look nice and neat and don't slide around. I was wondering, do you have any tips for good ways to fold underwear? I never know what to do with mine. Thanks!
😆 we've been putting plillow cases on like this for years at hotels! However, we don't turn pillow cases inside out. We just hold the center of the outside, pulling back partway over our arm. Grab the center of the pillow and pull it down over the pillow!
I like your pillow tricks. Have been doing this with duvets. The one thing that I won't do is to touch the ends on a large pillow case and a smaller pillow. The reason is that I tuck my hands under the pillow when I sleep (on my back) and the extra fabric is annoying, especially with thick pillow cases. I have been known to cut the bottom edge of the pillow and use some fabric glue to shorten the pillow. Works for me...☺
There is No correct way...students for hospitals or care centers will teach you the more you touch, handle and grope the case it's now been compromised with extra or any bacteria from it touching your hands, clothes on your arms and body. Facts just the facts from years gone by.
I was taught as a wee lass to put my pillowcase on by bunching it, started at the end and one quick shake! Boom, pillowcase on. I’ve never fed it up as you showed in the beginning. I was wondering what you were doing! 😂. Great video to show others.
My mother always put a pillow protector over the pillow first (it zips) and then the pillowcase. I do the same. We put on our duvet covers like you are putting on the case.
I've been saved! I've been doing this for years. But then again, I had to start from ground up. I admit, been everything, been everywhere, yes, I was a maid at a hotel. Haha! But instead of the inside out to put the pillow in, I usually just do it where I gather it like putting on stockings, cuz I need the shakey shake thing with feather pillows. 🕊 Nice job!
I do that, but with a twist. I don’t turn the case inside out. I grab the bottom of the case on the outside, bunch it up (kind of like putting on a sock) then grab the tag end of the pillow and hang on while I pull the case down around it. This is the easiest way for me because I’m tiny and my arms are short.
I've always done the first method. I'm going to try this new one, new for me anyway. I've never been to nursing or service industry school. I also like the karate chop method by Lucy; I've seen that done somewhere. Thank you.
Yep. A gazillion years ago I watched a movie that had Blythe Danner and Qweneth Paltrow playing mother/daughter (so cute it know!) And there was a scene where they were making the bed, and they both were doing their pillowcases inside out. I thought, huh, that would work so much better for my fluffy pillows then trying to shake them down in. Been doing it that way for 20 plus years now!
Oh… the steam iron can also be used across the top of your flat sheets. Flat sheet on the bed face side down. Once the bed is dressed & fold over the top of the flat sheet your print or decorative side shows, you can use the steam iron hack if there are wrinkles. I like to have a pretty bed in the guest room especially.
It's so funny, I've been do both of these since before I was married in 1972. All my pillowcases are inside out, in my closet. And the pillowcases are tucked in on my bed. I started turning them inside out because I didn't was dust on them. I started tucking my pillowcases in because I would by extra when I found a sale, but they weren't always the size I wanted, plus when you tuck your ends it your pillow stays plump & airy. I only found out not everyone did this after my divorce in 1992. Lol Bet everyone has different ways of doing things, nice we can share.
That's how my mom taught me to pillowcases on pillows about 60 years ago...but I thought it was because she came from Poland that she did it this way....
I already knew how to do those I don't know how I learned them, I thought I invented them LOL but the way I do my pillows I will grab the pillowcase and gather it up like a sock and fold my pillow in half the long way and just slip on the pillowcase, like a sock on my foot and it goes on real easy. Then you just puff it up. I guess we learn by our mistakes wanting to make things easier. Then again I'm older than a century LOL
LOL that's how I do my pillow I thought I invented it also, I never knew someone had a name to it, calling it The sock method but that's what I call it you gather up the pillowcase like a sock and slip it onto your pillow folded the long way like your foot, yep very easy, I guess cuz it makes sense. I guess great minds think alike. LOL

Don't forget a pillow protector first. It really helps to keep your pillow clean.
Use two - the second protector will protect the first

Yep. Nursing Fundamentals. Use it still today.
Yup, learned that in nursing school too. The one hand pillow trick works everytime. 💪🏼
Hey Denise. I'm a LPN. I learned that too
Sadly, I need to see this to completely understand...🙄
I karate chop the pillow in half lengthwise and grab the top corners together to make it pointy. The pointy end goes immediately to the bottom of the case. Release grip and the pillow expands into the case perfectly
I have been doing the inside out trick for my pillowcases and comforter covers for literally 50 years 😍
Oh definitely inside out with duvets!
I like the burrito method.
Thank you Andrea, have you tried a silk pillow case. I found one at Walmart and love it and will not go back to the cotton ones. So nice and sleep well. I use to suffer with horrible migraines 😕. Now after menopause that is over. Just love the silk material!!! Joan ❤❤❤
Been using the pillow case demos for YEARS! Love both! I use the same method of turning the pillowcase inside out with a duvet.
Love it!!
Yes and me!! The only way for me as I never have any help and I'm short. Tried the roll one but never seem to be able to get it right.
Same. Always done this with my duvet. Never thought about my pillow
I must be a damn genius because that's how i've always put pillowcases on!
Old news we're u been
Been doing it forever. Old School 🤣
I guess I’m a child prodigy, myself, been doing this since I was a teenager
Doing the same for more than 50 years yet
Me too. I was raised to do it that way. I thought my cousin was doing it the wrong way when I use to visit family.
I learned this at the hospital as a tween decades ago when housekeeping was changing my bedding. Taught my kids and now grandkids!
Going to be 30yrs in since I received my Nursing Assistant Certificate. That is how the Head Nurse taught us and I never for gotten. You were taught by a maid to tuck in the pillow case, I tuck my in because I had a kind size pillow case and a standard size pillow. After I figured it out, I continued with all the pillow cases and it looked very neat and tidy 👍👍👍👍
I was going to say as a former CNA, I know how to do this & I suspect most healthcare workers know this. 😂❤
Hi. Yes, I've tried the turn your pillowcase on the wrongside and put on. I really don't know which way I like the best. Thank you 👍 🥰
I like the pillow case hanging over, I use embroidered cases and it looks so pretty.
My Momma was a Southern Belle and taught me those tricks for pillowcases and also how to fold fitted sheets properly (which is good because we have a King Size bed and sheets, pillows and pillowcases are all oversized. Thank you for you expert tips!
I would love to learn how to fold a fitted sheet a neat way. If I even try to lay it down flat and make sense of it, it falls apart as soon as I pick it up. I end up rolling mine up in a ball. It’s terrible.
LOVE your tuck method for the extra length of the ends!! Knew that other one, but now I got the tuck in too! THANKS Andrea 🎉
You are so welcome!
@Andrea Jean Cleaning I honestly DO appreciate it!! I've struggled too many years with my flip flop flaps on my pillow cases 🙃 😪 and now, thanks to wonderful YOU, they won't drive me batty any longer 😘❤ I fixed them lil buggers last night after watching your video!! 😁
@@mrs.b6719 glad you enjoyed it because youll be doing it every morning now 😉
I’ve always done with pillows. It’s one very good way but not necessarily the correct way, everyone just needs to find what works best for them.
Andrea does it again! 👏

That's always how I've put my pillow cases on.
And duvets
Learned this in nursing school :) They are great tips ❤️
That's awesome!

I was taught that waaaay back in nursing school!

Yes! That's also how I put the cover on my down feather blankets. Best time saving hack for linens
AMAZING TRICK !!!! LOVE your videos ! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Do you have a link to the steamer? Thanks.
Yes in the description box 👍
Great tip! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas! 🙂
You are so welcome!
@1:28 That’s how you put on duvet covers, inside out, flick and their on. My mother told me that years ago.
What brand of iron/steamer and where to purchase please. Thanks!
It’s in my description box 👍
My mother always put a pillow protector over the pillow first (it zips) and then the pillowcase. I do the same. We put on our duvet covers like you are putting on the case.
Thanks for the tips!! I recently discovered tip number two and it’s been a game changer but I’m going to implement tip number one now too!
Been doing this for a couple of years now, so much easier. Wish I had learned it much sooner.
Always have done the inside out pillowcase method. Too much hassle the other way
Very true!
Yes, learned it from my mother from Germany. Nice pointed ends to boot! Love your channel!
Cool, thanks!
what is the brand of pillow you use in the video? I have searched for years for one like it 😊
Linked in my Amazon store 👍
I’ve long done the ‘tuck’ but not the inside out…:thank you! 🎉
I've been saved! I've been doing this for years. But then again, I had to start from ground up. I admit, been everything, been everywhere, yes, I was a maid at a hotel. Haha!
But instead of the inside out to put the pillow in, I usually just do it where I gather it like putting on stockings, cuz I need the shakey shake thing with feather pillows. 🕊 Nice job!
Great tip! I’m going to start doing it that way and thank you for showing the steamer/iron, I will buy it ang give it a try 👍🙌
Hope you like it!
I have been using that little trick ever since 1995!! Lol. Learned it nursing class.
I do that, but with a twist. I don’t turn the case inside out. I grab the bottom of the case on the outside, bunch it up (kind of like putting on a sock) then grab the tag end of the pillow and hang on while I pull the case down around it. This is the easiest way for me because I’m tiny and my arms are short.
My mother taught me this in early 70 back when I lived in Poland so the trick been around for years
I love the tuck. Doing now. AWESOME
Yup! Been doing this for decades!
I've always done the first method. I'm going to try this new one, new for me anyway. I've never been to nursing or service industry school. I also like the karate chop method by Lucy; I've seen that done somewhere. Thank you.
🤷🏾♀️ 45 and I have done this all my life🎉🎉
I keep my pillow cases inside out all the time because that’s what touches my face!!
Always do both of these.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Girl you alright!!!!😊
I just did it ..all my life never knew this...
👍
Yes I do that.
That's exactly how you put duvet covers on xx
Came to say this!
I guess we learn something new everyday.... thanks... 😁👍😁👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗
You bet!
Thank you
You're welcome
Yep. A gazillion years ago I watched a movie that had Blythe Danner and Qweneth Paltrow playing mother/daughter (so cute it know!) And there was a scene where they were making the bed, and they both were doing their pillowcases inside out. I thought, huh, that would work so much better for my fluffy pillows then trying to shake them down in. Been doing it that way for 20 plus years now!
Seriously, I don't see any difference in saving time doing it one way or the other.
I like the second one the way u do it
Need brand and name if small steamer iron, please.
Thank U

Yep been doing it for years.
Thanks
Welcome
Super tips! Thanks! I need them
Happy to help!
Brilliant!
My grandmother showed me how to do this with I was a kid. Been doing it this way for many years.
I learned how to do this in Girl Guides when we took a field trip to the hospital. They showed us how to make a bed properly too!
I do this with my quilt cover I always have x
I've been doing the tuck trick for years, we have a King size bed but standard pillows, we don't like the big pillows.
Just like the garbage bags I’ve been doing wrong thank you for sharing
I have always done my pillows that way including tucking the spare in.
I do a similar thing. No more shakey shakey..
I do my pillowcases like that too.
Yep. Nursing 101 pillow case
Yep been doing that for years.
I do this for my quilts! Put a pillow protector on first too.
It's so funny, I've been do both of these since before I was married in 1972. All my pillowcases are inside out, in my closet. And the pillowcases are tucked in on my bed. I started turning them inside out because I didn't was dust on them.

Rock and roll!
Whsyis the brad of steam iron. Where may the be purchased?
In the description box 👍
Yes I do this method inside out with my duvet as well.
I shimmy the bag down in my hands, like you do with stockings and then put it on. Less time than turning it inside out.
Good tip
Happy to help
I have those sheets, love them
That's how my mom taught me to pillowcases on pillows about 60 years ago...but I thought it was because she came from Poland that she did it this way....
Where did you get the iron from ?
Check the description box 👍
So funny
I've always done this... No one ever showed me, I just did it 🤣
I learned this 60 years ago from my Nanna, who learned everything from her mother before WWI.
I’ve always done the inside out
I do the same thing with duvet covers.
I already knew how to do those I don't know how I learned them, I thought I invented them LOL but the way I do my pillows I will grab the pillowcase and gather it up like a sock and fold my pillow in half the long way and just slip on the pillowcase, like a sock on my foot and it goes on real easy. Then you just puff it up. I guess we learn by our mistakes wanting to make things easier. Then again I'm older than a century LOL
Learned this trick when I became a nurse ❤
Been doing this for over 15 years. I used to work at a hotel.
Been doing this for about 30 years!
My mum taught us that way many moons ago....its the old right way to do it
Yes that’s how I’ve been doing pillow cases since I was a kid.
That's the "sock" method! :)
That's right!
LOL that's how I do my pillow I thought I invented it also, I never knew someone had a name to it, calling it The sock method but that's what I call it you gather up the pillowcase like a sock and slip it onto your pillow folded the long way like your foot, yep very easy, I guess cuz it makes sense. I guess great minds think alike. LOL
I’ve done that since I was a kid
I do this with duvets
Folding the ends I also do, except I fold with the pillow above, fold on bottom, then karate chop outward.
I be been doing my pillow case inside out for a very long time. So much easier.
