S/O...Who else (besides co18) doesn't iron...

I don't..ever. If something needs to be ironed, I either make dh do it, take it to the dry cleaners or give it away...that's how bad I am.

  • I don't.  DH will iron something before I will.

  • we don't even own an ironing board.  we both refuse to do it.
  • Me.

    If it needs to be ironed it goes to the dry cleaners.  I don't iron.  Period.

  • Never ever. I throw it in the dryer if it is really bad.

  • I never ever ever iron. Downy Wrinkle Release is my bestest friend in all the land.
  • I avoid ironing like it's the plague! LOL I will do it if I ABSOLUTELY have to, but I couldn't tell you the last time that was. I just get those items out of the dryer right away and hang them up! Smile

  • I never iron. We own one, but we use it maybe twice a year. We are addicted to dry cleaning - that may be our problem.

  • I HATE ironing!!!!  I never do it!
  • Why iron when you can toss it in the dryer with a damp towel to get all the wrinkles out/it looking nice?  :)  Obviously I don't iron.

  • Not unless I have too...
  • What's an iron? We own one and I have used it before but I don't see much point in it. I prefer throwing the wrinkled item into the dryer with a clean, damp towel for 15 mins.

  • I don't mind ironing, but we still haven't found our iron since our move.

  • I have a steamer and I do use that.
  • Me! I tried once, just to be nice. I failed.

  • HA! My iron is a paper weight up in the closet. LOL--I hate it. I throw the clothes in the dryer with a damp wash cloth.. :) Works everytime!
  • I very rarely have the need to. I mean, maybe one/year? And when I do need to de-wrinkle something, I very joyfully take out my steamer- I love that thing. It's like magic. When I worked in retail, I would jump at the chance to steam the new shipments because it was so satisfying to watch the wrinkles just fall into perfect smoothness... ahhh... haha. I know....?
  • I said it in the last post...if it needs ironing, then off to the DC.

     

    DH owns two pairs of wrinkle free pants, and those are dryer-to-hanger- so they are always ready.  But yeah, everything else.  NO thanks!

     

    I ironed napkins for T-day today, and it's the first time I've ironed since we moved here in early May. 

  • ooo, I want a steamer.  JealousE.

  • my dh does all the ironing!  He irons everyday for work.
  • DH is a super iron-er, so he does it all.  My stuff, his stuff, kids stuff, everything.  Love it.

  • I wish I didn't.  I actually iron all of the boys' clothes before putting them away....especially Zachary's since he would have no problems with walking out of the house looking as wrinkled as a 100 year old man!

    I actually have a basket of clothes to iron now (it's been there for a few weeks now) and I've been too lazy to do anything with it.

  • Ummm no, I don't iron unless absolutely necessary.  I have shirts hanging in my closet that have needed to be ironed since before DD was born.  I will iron when I sew, but I don't think that counts.
  • I never iron. I use the damp towel in the dryer method as well. Works fine for me. :)

  • I don't. ?I just hang things in the bathroom while I take a shower and let the item steam in there. ?In fact the iron that we got for our wedding 3 years ago is still in its box and packed away somewhere! ?lol

  • Nope, do not iron in this house.  AND we are bad about folding laundry, so we look like ragamuffins sometimes I'm sure.

  • me.  My kids wouldn't even know what an iron is so I have to laugh at the play Irons at TRU. 

    I refuse to by dry-clean only clothes and I have this belief that even if you have perfectly pressed pants, the second you get in the car, they get wrinkley anyway.

  • I very rarely do. 
  • I don't! I absoultely despise it!
