ANYONE IRON ?

Pezzie — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 15:22:57 GMT

Recently I read a review where the reviewer gave the item one star, because it had to be ironed after laundering. That is not a deal breaker for me, as I iron every week. I am not saying that I love to iron, but I hate wrinkled clothes more. I also iron my dish towels and pillow cases.

i just turn on the TV, iron and zone out.
So if an item requires ironing, is it a deal breaker for you?

No, it is not a deal breaker. I don't do a lot or ironing--pillowcases and dish towels??? my mother used to iron sheets!!!--but I don't mind doing it especially in the winter.

@Pezzie :

I love to iron. I iron sheets and anything else that needs to be ironed. I find it theraputic and relaxing. Like you, I set up the ironing board in front of the TV iron away!

No it’s not a deal breaker for me. I have some items of clothing that look better when they’re ironed.

I iron if I must.

Must say that even in my most tizzy housekeeper moments, I have never ironed a tea towel. I keep one out and change it out, but iron, no.

If it needs to be ironed or dry cleaned it's a deal breaker with the exception of my winter jacket and husbands suits.

The only thing I use the iron for are setting the seams when I am putting together a quilt top.

I never iron. I keep a spray bottle of water in the closet; a quick spritz and wipe the wrinkles out and done. If I need something in a hurry, a damp towel in the dryer works.

I iron on occasion. I ironed my skirt for Sunday morning on Saturday night. But, I'm not ironing sheets. Pillowcases might not be a big deal, but King size sheets are for me.

NOPE!

I have not ironed since 1971. Anything that needs ironing goes to the cleaners to be "pressed."

It would be a deal breaker for me, I have a uniforms for work that need to be ironed and those go to the cleaners.

I haven’t ironed in years. I do the same thing somebody else mentioned, spray with a water bottle (hot water works best) then hang the item on the shower curtain rod. I also have one of those handheld steamers I use once in a while.

I iron. Once I found the Rowenta iron it was a breeze. I don't have an issue with ironing work.dress clothes but I prefer not to have to iron casual clothes.

I haven't ironed in years. If something is wrinkled I use my Joy Mangano little steamer.

I don't mind ironing. Don't like wearing wrinkled clothes. Even iron my bed sheets. Which makes a HUGE difference!! Love the feel of freshly washed, ironed sheets.

Everything is ironed every week, Saturday or Sunday afternoon. None of my clothes even jeans go into the dryer except very old sweat pants. All line dried and all ironed including new plain jane tee shirts. My clothes lasts for decades staying out of the dryer.

When DH worked the place had a VERY STRICT dress code,so I ironed his dress shirts, Now that we are both retired I hardly ever iron.

Funny story: Our granddaughter is 23 now,when she was about 3 she was spending the day with us and I had some ironing to do. She asked me what I was doing.

I never iron if I can help it. I might iron a hem if I shorten pants or a dress but that's it. This would be a few times a year.

Hanging wrinkled clothes in a steamy bathroom works for me to. No need to "sprinkle" as someone in this thread mentioned.
