Underwear, socks, stuff like that, no chance.
Shirts, trousers, T-shirts yes. Unless it’s iron-free material then hanging usually doesn’t the trick.
My Mum always ironed bedsheets and pillowcases etc and so I’ve carried that on. Must admit it does feel 100% better slipping into a freshly washed and ironed set of bedsheets, so I’m sticking with that! |

I must admit I do like a well ironed shirt to wear and trousers too of course. When it comes to sheets, it's a bit hit and miss depending how they have dried. I had an ironing press but didn't really like it so got rid of it. I do have a very good iron which makes the job not too onerous. |

"A bit surprised that so many don't iron anything. What about like cotton shirts or work shirts or even trousers that might be all creased? "
I don’t own any yet. Result. |

"I avoid ironing altogether by not wearing clothes 
Best way or buy clothes with stretch in them  "
Better than the alternative which is just not washing your current ones  |

"I've just finished a load of ironing there. Only shirts and trousers though."
I must say I do the same as could not wear shirts and trousers that are not ironed. You used to be able to get good deals at dry cleaners but not any more so only take items that can only be dry cleaned now. |

Been with current girlfriend nearly three years, she hasn’t touched the iron. I do my shirts & polo shirts, few other bits. I also like to iron bed linen. I enjoy being naked while ironing. Try it! |

No! Not had an iron for years. Wash, dry, finish off in dryer and hang up. None of us really have shirts in this house. Daughters boyfriend moved in during pandemic and had to go buy an iron and ironing board for some shirts  |

I was taught by my parents to iron clothes, and have continued through to today.
OK, underwear, socks and T-Shirts, no need to iron them.
But shirts of all styles, trousers and lightweight tops, jumpers and Tops etc are all ironed.
So too are duvet covers, pillowcases and Flat Sheets. |

Shirts, Trousers, Smart casual tops thats about it. Damned if I'm ironing underwear or towels etc. I will iron sheets if I have a special meet because it shows respect but not if its just me in the bed. |

In the USA they sell spray on products that remove creases. Now here, I'm limited by the restrictions in liquids when flying, so I make do with the tiniest amount. I don't iron any longer but occasionally a top may not have been super smooth after drying and a little spritz could polish it smooth. |

"your knickers/briefs/underwear?. What about the bedsheets, handkerchiefs, socks etc. Are you someone that irons everything or as little as possible?."
Yes I find something therapeutic about it. |

Outer clothes if they look like they need it. Anything cotton like trousers or shirts get a razor sharp crease. Socks and undies? Madness. Bedding? If you make your bed properly it pulls the creases out. |
