For me, it’s only 2-3 things/week.  I’ll be relocating in the near future and will discard my 30+ year old, rusty ironing board before then.

I’ve seen some more compact ironing boards that might be an okay replacement for once I get resettled.  What do other infrequent ironers use?

Zero.  More like how many times a year....a few.

ETA:  I will occasionally steam some things which come out just as nice as ironing and so much easier!

Once in the evenings in preparation for work.  I don't iron ahead of time.

Maybe once a decade.

I actually do have a steamer    I dislike it more than ironing!

I never iron anymore.I steam a couple of times a month.

I iron most everything I wear, except for my Liquid Knit items. I’d say anywhere from 5 - 10 items a week. I do it all at once, on Saturdays when I’m doing housework & laundry. I’ve always been an ironer & enjoy it. I like the look of ironed clothes.

I steam about 20 items a month. I HATE ironing. My steamer was a game changer. I can steam a rayon/span top or poly/span in 60 seconds.

I think my iron is buried somewhere in the towels and blankets on shelves above my washer/dryer. Not sure though - it's been a couple of years since I last saw it.

A few reason why I don’t iron much anymore:   A more casual life style, fewer 100% cotton clothing items, and a dryer that doesn’t leave my clothing wrinkled...especially if I take things out while still slightly damp, and hang them to finish drying.

I’ll buy a similar washer/dryer combo at my new home.
