"So the majority so far prefer the Worzel Gummige look 
You sleep in yours saves you ironing then
That’s only since I was evicted for that ‘thing’
Not washing "
That’s why I was evicted |

"You're a sick sick individual OP for bringing such a subject up.
I like to live dangerously  "
Going by your profile pic, never iron in the nude. Could be a nasty one. |

"Come on guys. First impressions last.
If you turn up for a meet with a creased blouse then the maximum you will score is an 8. "
I'd be punching at an 8! |

You’d look lovely in a blouse  |

Nope, most of my clothes are jeans and t-shirts. I hang them up to dry as soon as they come out of the washing machine and they don't seem to crease at all. Even the few casual shirts I wear are fine.
The only time the iron comes out is for formal shirts and suit trousers.
Also, people who iron their underwear are just odd  . |

Yes, I’d agree with the underwear bit but surely your clothes aren’t totally crease free from just drying on a hanger |

I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
The number of people revealing such low personal standards!
I pretty much iron everything except underwear. Even my lounging round the house tshirts, and my grandkid's pyjamas!
Next you'll all be telling me you don't iron you quilt covers...
Shocking! |

Slightly off topic - I saw my step mother ironing her tea towels and took the piss ever so gently. She informed me the steam killed the bacteria and that kind of put me back in my box. I still wouldn't. |

My mum did this because they "hung nicer"  |

Hair straighteners, Jesus, I’ve heard it all now |

I can’t criticise, you obviously acknowledged the need to iron. Just don’t mention this to any future potential meets though |

I used to iron pretty much everything (except socks, I drew the line at those!). A few years ago, when my life pretty much
imploded, a friend persuaded me to ditch the ironing and just fold, now I only iron things that really need it. It has been very liberating.

I use a clothes horse but yes, I think you'd be surprised. Totally crease free? No, but no more creased than they would otherwise be after being folded, put away, and then worn for an hour |

My fatness evens out the creases
I only iron linen clothing and bedding these days. Everything else goes straight on a hanger as soon as it is out of the machine.
I used to iron everything including socks and pants. |

I iron everyones stuff in our house. I dont mind. Headphones in, and listen to MY music as loud as I like. I can be at it for 3 or 4 hours if we have had a blitz on the washing baskets and its been good drying weather. Proper ironing mind, military style, no shortcuts. |

"Well this has well and truly opened my eyes.
My next thread will be how to use an iron and look good "
Just be aware, to iron the clothes on an Ironing Board, not like the American idiot a few years ago who thought it would save himself time by ironing his clothes as he wore them!
He ended up in hosputal with acute burns! Only in America! |

I iron the stuff that benefits from being ironed... actually that’s most stuff.
I don’t enjoy it, but I bought a £100 ironing board from John Lewis because it really does make it easier for larger clothes etc.
Yes I realise I’m a bit boring. But the wine helps... I just do the shirts first, before the alcohol takes effect. |

I iron for weddings and funerals. The rest of the time I hang things out well so as not to crease. Or if I want to wear something that requires ironing.
My teen son wants his clothes totally crease free so I got the ancient iron out and the board and taught him how to do it. I refuse to iron unless I have to |

Oh I must be old fashioned, everything gets ironed, love freshly ironed bedsheets and bedding, although to be honest, I send it all out and it comes back beautifully crisp, my one luxury I cannot give up

You send your ironing out! If I could do that then I'd never ever iron again.
What if you had do do it yourself...would you iron as much? |
