What do you iron?
 
Are you a fanatic and iron everything including socks and tea towels?

Or do you just iron what's absolutely necessary?

I do jeans, jumpers and shirts. I am back from my golf trip so have a heap- of stuff to iron and put away

rusticgal 11-06-2022 04:20 PM

Everything that looks like it needs an iron...I tumble dry a lot of things so a lot of things just dont need ironing...

smudgie 11-06-2022 09:14 PM

Nothing.
Hubby might drag the ironing board out once in 18 months if he needs something ironed.

Horses, cows...not sheep though..

As little as possible (as compulsively-organised as I am otherwise when it comes to things like that).

never iron these days

Toy Soldier 12-06-2022 11:58 AM

Shirts and kids school stuff, mainly. I wouldn’t bother with things like t-shirts etc.

I’m baffled about the ironing of jeans and jumpers, LT.

Jeans are suppose to crease...

If you hang your jumpers once washed then they shouldn't need an iron?

Personally, very rarely unless it's a formal shirt

Not used an iron for over 25yrs , got a steamer if absolutely necessary.

Niamh. 12-06-2022 09:48 PM

Can't remember the last time I ironed anything

I’m not willing to accept that it’s even possible to crumple a jumper.

Ummmmm, you lived under a rock your whole life? :joker:

Of course you can, but it's a lot more crease resistant, depending on fabric than s lot of other garments.

If you wash it correctly and hang it correctly then a jumper should not need ironing, bit they certainly can do crease.

ThomasC 13-06-2022 07:52 AM

Don't put 100% wool in the washing machine.

I learnt the hard way and ended up with a tiny jumper. I managed to re-wet and resprawn it by constantly stretching it out. Hand wash

Corrr blimeyyyy.

You must be exhausted. Poor chap.

I get in a flap with ironing so I don't do it, not really needed either.

The times I have got the iron out and a can of starch I tend to iron in more creases than there were to begin with.

That's after I've had a fight with the ironing board trying to erect it correctly

Niamh. 13-06-2022 09:04 AM

If you fold things properly you won't need to iron them (except shirts but I don't wear shirts so) :hee:

Josy 14-06-2022 08:56 PM

I don't own an iron aint nobody got time for that rubbish
