iron?  I was looking for something special to wear today as I am going out for lunch. I found a real cute top that I haven't worn in a really long time and it needs ironing. I had no idea where my iron was. It was in the basement. It's a Rowenta and I haven't used it in years. I used to iron my husband shirts all the time and now it's always casual at work and when he does where a shirt he just brings it to the laundry now. I ironed my top and off I went. Not a wrinkle on it. Thanks.

I do still iron some things though certainly with todays fabrics I iron much less.

Yes & steam.

Definitely still iron.  I’m a 100% cotton gal.  I keep the ironing board in my closet so it’s close at hand.

no

Yes, I still iron and use my clothes steamer.  Some clothes just don't look right to me without a touch up ironing or steaming.

I am retired, but DH still works part time. Though it is one of my most undesired tasks, I iron once a week every week for DH's shirts. I iron my clothes when I'm going out and need something besides casual jeans/tee (my regular ultra-casual uniform).

I iron, steam, & sometimes hang certain things right of the dryer.  it depends on the need.  My iron & steamer are always handy.

Yes, I still iron and have the ironing board & iron set up at all times.  My dress pants are usually OK but just about all my tops need ironing.  I even hang them up as soon as they are out of the dryerl.
