Are you a prolific ironer?!

Do you iron things like underwear and socks?

Or are you like me and not iron anything unless absolutely necessary (which seems to be once in a blue moon

)

Hi, I'm J and I'm a recovering ironaholic

I used to iron socks before pairing them and even t towels weren't safe from me. Nowadays I tend to only iron what gets seen when wearing them

Never iron, my iron is still in the cupboard under the stairs in a box.

I iron nothing, all of my work wear hangs dry and crease free. Any casual wear I buy, I make sure is no iron necessary.

Ironing is my least favourite job and I won't iron something unless it absolutely needs it.

My mum used to iron everything and still gets upset because my dad insists the sheets on his bed don't need to be done

"Why do people iron tea towels and underwear?

so they can do that weird thing that my ex sis in law used to do...stand there looking put-upon, saying 'im sorry the house is a mess'..when its spotless, and proudly show off a mountain of ironed baby clothes, tea towels etc...as if they were some sort of achievement...it's not 1952 anymore!

Thanks but no. Hang them up when you take them out of the washing machine and the creases tend to drop out.

It's a standing joke in our house, once it goes in the ironing basket, its never seen again.

Nope don't even own an iron. Most fabrics now if you hang them as soon as out the machine will dry fine.

Knitwear is best dried on a hanger anyway

If I have something with creases in I run a hot hair dryer over it and the creases magically disappear.

Used to iron everything, socks and pants included and then would find a pile on the floor where they had been thrown instead of being hung up and put away. Now just iron as and when I need too. Xx

I iron my work clothes everyday and all other stuff only when I need it.

I actually don't mind ironing. I find it's a good time to think and I often find myself daydreaming a lot whilst I'm doing it.
