Having the best possible iron makes it easy. I bought a rowenta years ago and will never go back - I don't care how expensive they get - only a rowenta for me.

I stick the ironing board in front of the tv. It doesnt go faster but at least I have a distraction. I hate to iron but love ironed clothes.

I love to iron and I think the key is having a high quality iron. I have an Rowenta Steam Station (see Amazon) instead of a traditional iron and I love it. It takes longer to heat up, but it puts out amazing amounts of steam and I can do lots of ironing without having to refill it. I also leave my ironing board up all the time in an extra bedroom and that makes it convenient to use.

Me, too. In fact, I just picked up a new Rowenta steamer at Ross.

What? "Steaming"? Steaming is easier and faster than ironing? Really?

I hate wrinkles. My boyfriend got me this magic iron - best gift! Can't ruin anything and with it you can iron over all kinds of trim, buttons and material without adjusting the heat setting.

Yes,my secret is a steamer. I don't own an iron. I can iron quite well.I just choose not to do certain chores.My steamer knocks out the big issues if the ever(it is rare) come about.

I just skip it! If something is really wrinkled I use my steamer.

Yes, absolutely. I can steam a whole outfit for work (dress pants and blouse) in about 5minutes and I'm sure that's an overestimate. Oh and I do own a Rowenta iron, and steaming is still faster.
