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.

 

I miss Chinese laundries.....
