The Marie Kondo Sock Fold Is Just the Beginning: Where to Find the Best ‘Tidying Up’ Lessons

Netflix latest reality phenomenon is a totally zen clean-up show starring a borderline magical host who has a solution for everything from folding to sorting to storing. The show is Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, a show that proves that no mess is truly insurmountable. From mountains of shoes to piles of photos and overflowing drawers, Marie Kondo knows the cure for clutter is just a tidying session away.

To help out those in need of a good organizing, Marie Kondo shares her unique KonMari method. The technique focuses on keeping the items that bring you joy and serve a purpose in your life moving forward. This method covers everything, too, from folding sweatshirts and folding fitted sheets to paper organization. There’s even a specific Mari Kondo sock fold that she teaches to those studying with her!

Watching the show may leave you with a bunch of questions–like where does Marie Kondo get her boxes? And since the KonMari method is far-reaching, Marie Kondo can’t go through everything in every episode. You might have trouble finding a specific lesson, like folding underwear or how to sort your electronics. That’s why we’ve gone through every episode of Tidying Up and jotted down which lessons are taught in which episodes. Some lessons, like the daunting clothes pile and the idea of “spark joy” pop up in every episode. Others, like how Marie Kondo folds a necktie or scarves, only appear once. If you’re looking for a guide to Netflix’s KonMari guide, you’ll find it below!
