folding laundry
Creasing clean garments
Folding laundry is the household task of taking clean, dried clothes and linens and creasing them into neat shapes for storage.
The phrase captures a specific domestic chore that has become shorthand for mundane but necessary responsibilities: I can't come out tonight—I'm folding laundry.
It often appears in discussions of equitable division of household labor.
