I draw the line at socks…

cooking beats ironing anytime

Ironing out day to day problems appears to be more common.

Don't iron anything. have not bought anything that needsto be ironed. for many years.

Same

NO TOWEL BUT JUST ABOUT EVERTHING ELSE

I never iron

Nothing, only buy clothes that do not need it

Nothing

Hi Pamela G I love to cook lasagna.

If you fold the washing up as it comes off the line, not as much ironing needs to be done.

They also ooh & aah when they look in my linen cupboard & can see at a glance where & what is in there

When I iron I have my radio on it's great the job is quickly finished & when Grand kids talk about the latest hits I can put my 2 bobs worth in

Fabric that I am quilting with and clothes that are being worn somewhere special like a wedding or funeral.

Once upon a time I ironed sheets and bathmats but not any longer. I still iron hand towels, face washers, tea towels and pillow cases as well as everything other than underwear. Nothing better on a cold or wet day with a good movie, but it does help to have a good iron.

i iron the least things ,its not a chore i like .

Nothing. I hand wash a lot and hang them to dry on coathangers. Only time I would ever iron is if I were going somewhere special.

Nothing, hang clothes up after they’ve dried. No need to iron. Only iron when I go to wear them if it’s too crinkled.

Money

NOTHING! unless I absolutely have to!

Nothing, unless something is extremely creased.

L.ess and less as I have got older

Not towels all that does is make them hard.I iron everything else

my wife does my formal shirts

nothing lol

Nothing

I love wearing linen dresses, trousers and tops. The price of this love is acceptance that I will have a marathon every few weeks ironing...!

Absolutely nothing. The last time we ironed was years ago when hubby was in the army and wore a uniform, and i worked in a Hosp. and wore uniform too. Hubby did his time in army and left and I had same career but didn't need uniform anymore.Edited 10-Jan-23 17:55pm

It is nice to smell the clean ironed pillow cases and sheets . I hate the taste of artichokes but the smell always remindes me clean ironed white sheets. You never put anything away without the clothes etc were ironed. When you reached the age when you wouldnt burn yoursel on the iron you were taught either by your mum or your aunt how to iron shirts trousers (with a nice sharp crease) and you would iron the hankies table napkins table cloths sheets teatowels etc. Back in the dark ages of the 70s we didnt have steam presses or steam irons. We had to be careful ironing silk and linen - wet teatowels were used to make sure no burn holes or melting of the material happened. Unfortunately these days due to less visiting on a Sunday as the special day after church most people have wash and wear clothes that dont need ironing.and hankies are a thing of the past. Another chore that has gone into the annals of yesteryear.

Nothing.. I don’t even own an iron! I used to do ironing as a kid as part of chores but I wash, hang on line, fold and put away, I don’t have creased clothes either so don’t see need to waste my time ironing,, would rather use that time more productively!

I only iron now if needed. I put items on hangers too dry so most creases disappear

not towels or undies but i would the tea towel

Don't iron anymore

pillow cases, some clothing items

pants only wife does the rest

I was taught how to iron clothes while I was going to primary school, I've done my own ironing ever since, mind you I DO NOT do anyone else's on principle.

Nothing, I hate ironing, but my mum still irons everything

MOST CLOTHES ARE WASH AND WEAR. That's Life People. Deponch

i have not ironed any clothes for ages it's all wash and wear

Ironing should be shared and it’s up to the individual if that want to look ironed or not. A lot of fabrics these days are drip dry and need little ironing

Basically I have not used my iron for months. I wash clothes when there is a nice breeze and no need to iron them. Don't laugh - last time I did need to iron something - I had to look for the iron. Hahaha

as little as possible hate ironing

Hate it with a vengeance! Try to iron as little as possible.

What is that?

I iron all my dresses, but my hubby takes his things off the line and then "bashes" them into shape!

Nothing

I iron everything that is worn on the outside, tea towels and pillow cases

Nothing

Pillow cases and undies

Sécheuse

Nothing - Hubby does ours

If you have a cotton garment that has wrinkles, a trick that will help without having to iron is to hang it on a hanger behind the bathroom door on a hook and let it hang there while the steam from the shower loosens and minimizes the wrinkles, if not get rid of them altogether. P. S. Other fabrics will have their wrinkles faded too. Edited 10-Jan-23 13:40pm

Very little these days. Smarten up the suit pants but most is wash and wear.

Nothing!

I iron very little and only if it really needs it eg: a dress or shirt bugger ironing towels!

nothing at all!

As little as possible! When my husband was in management for a large company, he had to wear a suit, tie, and a freshly ironed shirt every day. I hate ironing! We tried sending them to the cleaners, but when they came back, they often had broken buttons, which I had to replace. I am so glad that we are both retired now!

never touched an iron in my life,I have a wife that worries about that crap

My wife does all the ironing, if it stays still long enough, I gets ironed.

absolutely nothing

Dress pants shirt

I iron only as needed right before wearing.

Nothing my wife won't let me. Ican iron, she thinks she does it better. Might do

The funny thing here is that Ironing wears out the fabric as it produces friction pushing the iron over the fabric shortening it's life. The proper way to get the wrinkles out of fabrics is to Press them and several companies have made Ironing Presses which prolong the life of the fabrics.

Only iron partners shirts when going out if needed

I iron tablecloths, napkins, dress pants, blouses, pillow cases and more importantly, fabrics when doing a quilting project. Growing up as a kid, we had baskets of laundry to iron every week because we had a family of 9 children and 2 parents.

Definitely not towels or undies, but everything else.

I haven't used an iron since I left the Army in 1987.

I hardy iron anything, I fold most things up straight off the line, I hang shirts, blouses etc on coat hangers on the line and thing like sheets etc straight back on the bed so they are not wrinkled. I iron the Duvet cover when the cold weather starts so there are no fold lines when I put that back on the bed. Most fabrics today don't crease like cotten did.

Mum used to iron dads undies, singlets etc. I don’t….just shirts, some dresses, table cloths and some tea towels.

I used to iron everything, I fold most things. I like ironing and find it relaxing.

My wife irons everything and I can not understand it and she is fine with that.

Being ex-military I like to iron all clothes including those I work in the garden with. My wife is not sure why I do this, but as I am the better ironer she does not complain. My kids (all in their 30's) only iron uniforms for work or if they have a meeting to attend.

As little as possible, I try to hang eveything on the line to avoid creases. most of our closes are was and war, but things I do iron are pillow cases. tablecloths, handkies. and linen clothing

Nothing and My Dad irons every thing too sheets, undies, t-shirts, shorts the lot tea towels even. I had a crinkly skirt my Dad ironed it, it was like why? He didn't like it crinkly. Okay. Every thing nowadays is wash and wear. My Aunt from the UK is the same she has seamed pants so they look like they have been ironed. I do think this is a generation thing. I did iron my husband's shirts when he was working and hated that I had to but I did it or otherwise he would have had to and he was busy working. Retired now so don't have to worry about that any more thank goodness.

Nothing...

NOTHING for past 4 decades, I used to iron outer clothes until I subbed at a Laundromat was taught how to hang out clothes, and brush out with hands. The wind does a great job of ironing. BTW none of the wealthy people who had their clothes done at the laundromat knew any different. Edited 10-Jan-23 11:14am

Nothing, I dont do ironing.

I only iron unless vital. I find that using the dryer for about 4-5 minutes helps

We iron very little in this house. With todays fabrics it is not required.

I try not to iron nothing I smooth the wrinkles out with my hands. I hate ironing but I love to cook.

As little as possible.

Almost everything! I love Ironing! It is one of those jobs which has to be done but almost no-one wants to do it. For me it is a relaxation. I know no-one will complain if they think I have not done it really well - which is never - if they complain then Revenge is Oh-so-Sweet! You do everyone else's Ironing and leave theirs until they have nothing left to wear. Petty? Yes. But they get the message.

Absolutely nothing, I’m not allowed to even look at the iron in case I burn something …….lol

Nothing! I buy clothes I don't have to iron. I shake them out before putting them on the line or on a coat-hanger on the line.

Only iron what really needs to be ironed.

If it needs ironed, I don't wear it! I used to love to iron, but so few things really need ironed anymore that it's not worth getting out the ironing board for one or two things! My aunt used to wash on Monday, iron on Tuesday, etc. If Mom wanted her to go somewhere, it all depended on that schedule which was in use for decades! Of course, women were more organized because they didn't work out of the house and didn't even drive!

I haven't ironed for years - when I buy anything I make sure it doesn't crease

I haven’t ironed in 20 years??

My mom irons everything as well. She irons so well, professional cleaners and laundry services are put to shame. She's so humble about being told how perfectly she does anything she does. And I'm not bragging, even though I should be, but she does everything she does literally perfectly. My skills came from learning from her. The only thing I didn't get an opportunity to learn was sewing, bc when my 1st husband up and left one night(had a gf I knew nothing of for over a year. Just thought he had a porno problem, but it was much more, so good riddance, truly), but he took everything I personally owned and was gifted and everything my parents bought to furnish our new little home bc we were too poor to buy ourselves and my parents didn't want us to go into debt for anything, but the house. But he took everything with a bunch if movers when I had an obligation one whole day and I never have seen anything of mine since. My clothes, jewelry, everything personal you can imagine. He furnished his own new house with his gf, so they had nice things. He took my hope chest (ladies out there ought to know what that is and how special to the owner it is). He took my sewing machine, and I've never had enough $ being disabled and unable to work, to buy another one. And the one my parents bought me for graduation had all the bells and whistles. She was a beauty of of a sewing machine AND THE OLD FASHIONED SEWING TABLE THAT MY DAD REFURBISHED AND gave to me. My ex will burn in hell for what he did to me, but more for what he did to my children, whom he kidnapped and hid in another state when they were 5 and 12 yrs old. Taught them polygamy and kinky crap. Told them I was dead. He had $ control and took all our money, which wasn't much, but he retained a lawyer and I had nothing to get legal services with, not even the free legal could help me bc they were too backlogged. But ironing I do well, when I do it. Mom is perfect at it and a fine teacher of all women arts in and outside the home. We are very traditional, the way we believe it should be. Mom raises children, not strangers or "preschool" programs. Dads earn the $.

Pants, shorts, shirts, dresses, the tee-shirts, pillow cases, tea towels.

As little as possible

As little as possible.

just shirts my tops and goodpants

Dress slacks and shirts when the occasion calls for it

nothing

I iron nothing. Wash it, hang it, or fold it - most don't need ironing. I have ironed in the past but don't need "business shirts" and using the above method noting else needs ironing-my opinion anyway :)

This mum irons nothing! If you spread the clothes out neatly to dry and fold or hang them neatly in the cupboard, they come out fine enough for us!

I only iron dress clothes when they need it.
