Do you iron?

[Chris77]

Nope I never iron. If something is wrinkled, I just put it in the dryer on dewrinkle for a few minutes.

All you ladies that use tumble driers, aren't they really expensive to run?

They arent any more expensive than running a washing machine in my experience

I've weaned myself off my dryer obsession. I was using it far too much and it was too expensive (for us anyway). You have to run your washing machine, but you don't ahve to run the dryer. I put clothes on the dryer & some on the radiators and they are dry overnight, so it's not that much of a nuisance. Once the better comes in, I can start using the line again!

I iron stuff as I need it, I never do a big pile then put it in the wardrobes because I almost always have to iron it again when I get it out! I don't have a drier any more, my washer/drier broke down and I really miss it but I only ever dried sheets and towels in it not clothes cos they always seem to shrink! Ironing isn't my favourite pastime!

Haha I thought of this thread this morning - found a single item that does need ironing - my yoga pants! Everything else drops creases when hung out on the washing line, but they are stubborn.

Ironing is the one house hold chore I avoid!

If something desperately needs doing then I'll do it before it gets put on.

My husband wears a suit 5 days a week so on a Sunday night, usualy at about 2am when I've avoided it as long as possible I'll Iron him 5 shirts, 3 waistcoats and the 3 pairs of trousers to match. That's it.

Sometimes I'll iron Niamh's dressy stuff.

But usually it's crease free once I get it out the dryer. And if I leave it too long and it's all wrinkled... I just put the dryer on again for 20 minutes.

How do so many of you get away with not ironing? Share your secrets I dry my clothes on radiators in winter or outside when I can and most of it needs ironing before I wear it!

Sometimes, if something REALLY needs an iron but I really can't be bothered, then while I'm doing my makeup etc I turn the shower up as hot as it will go and hang it at the end of the shower.

The extents I've gone to to avoid ironing are ridiculous.

i dont iron a single thing! i got an iron 3 yrs ago but took the fuse out the plug to use in my hair straightners after it sat in the cupboard for 3 months gathering dust. i just dont see the point in ironing... waste of time imo. if things are folded/ hung up properly they dont get creased. x


eta i dont have a tumble drier either. everything is dried on clothes horses/radiators x

 

[Noodlebear]

I can't remember the last time I ironed anything I wouldn't wear something that looked scruffy but I find if I dry it out on the line and hang it straight up it doesn't need it.

 

[mumandco]

I do iron but I iron as I go along,otherwise there would be a huge pile of clothes somewhere and empty wardrobes

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

[lau86]
