Ironing - do you do it?

[ElektraWintour]

No ironing happens in our household. I’m making the most of it until my kid starts school as will probably iron their uniform.

Ah actually don’t mind ironing - ah stick on Netflix and then work ma way through the pile. Only things ah don’t iron are towels/ the other half’s work clothes (tradesman, so creases are the least of the worries oan his stuff) and sports clothes like wains tracksuits and football strips. Ah wish creases didnae bother me but ah cannae sleep oan bedding that’s no need ironed.

When my husband was a coach driver I had 7 shirts and smart trousers to iron every week, now he's hgv driver I hardly iron a thing unless it really needs it life to short.

If it’s his ironing I’d expect him to do it himself

 

[Sunflower91]

Only bedding and if I’m going somewhere formal and my dress/clothes are creased. With my day to day clothes I tend to wash them and hang them up to drop the creases out.

Then she should have taught him how to use an iron

Don't be so ridiculous how could her son EVER do something like that for himself a womans job is to do everything for a man so they never lift their fingers!!!!!

I used to take my bedding and some of my work clothes, only the ones which need it to an ironing lady, but stopped when I was moving house because I was living in a mess it didn't seem necessary. Seeing this has reminded me how unreal getting in to ironed sheets is so I have text her straight away

I swear by Lenor crease release spray

 

[Rainbow_rhythms]

Yes. I like the kids to look smart and my partner wears shirts. I iron bedding too. I don't iron towels or pants or socks though

 

[prozacprincess]

I do actually like ironing and find it relaxing. If I’m off work I’ll do it myself but otherwise our cleaner does it and she irons everything even underwear

 

[Milktray]

One word. No.

 

[Pinkglitter123]

Normally I iron stuff as I need it, but I'll do the kids uniforms for the week

 

[coconochanel]

I tend to iron more in summer because you wear more t shirts etc that need ironing.

 

[StephenTJackson]

I iron nothing. Have a little steamer for things like smart shirts if they do need de-creasing before wearing. But I actively avoid ironing because I hate it.

 

[MrsGahan]

I used to but not anymore.

 

[Rippedjeanmaybe]

No I don’t iron, I never have and I left home five years ago.

If my fiancé wants something, he irons it himself, im not a maid.

 

[MrsVonDarkness]

As a teenager in college I had a Saturday job ironing in a laundrette and ever since then i have dispised ironing. I hate it with a passion. I iron nothing at all. I don't even iron my uniform for work and if anyone at work dared to say anything I would remind them that we can't wear our uniforms on the way to and from work (nurse) and it gets creased in the bag. Then I would walk off smugly.

 

[BorisBear]

Nope, don’t iron unless it’s essential. Not ironed since I moved over 6 months ago.. don’t have an ironing board.

 

[Escapist]

I only iron my kids school shirts, other half irons his work shirts. I don't have time to be ironing everything.
