Reply With QuoteI hardly iron and I never fold undies. I think it's really funny that people fold knickers.
I have maybe 2 dresses that require ironing, and the man's shirts when we go out. Everything else I can just wash and hang up.

Nope i don't iron either!
We each do our own as we need it. having said that if i was to ever get up to date with my washing and folding i would probably consider doing it. but right now i seem to have this endless supply of clothes than needs folding. if only the days were longer.actually no thats a lie! it would still be there i would just shop for longer or something.

I dont iron. If I really want to wear something that is crinkled I will iron that item...but I dont iron at any other time. I do fold undies in half.

Hey Mrs T,
Totally agree with you. I get it from my mother I think who would never let me leave the house until my clothes were ironed!!!
I just don't own hardly any clothes that require ironing. I think it does come from your mother though. My mum always just ironed as she wore, and same as me, didn't have many clothes that needed it.
I think less people iron now because the fabrics are different these days.
I have a friend, who lives in a share house of 4 young people. And they don't have an iron! In the whole house! I couldn't get by with that, I do need to iron a garment maybe every fortnight or something.
whats an iron?? lol
no ironing in this house! everything is folded straight form the line (that includes knickers/boxers, hankies) t-shirts/my tops are hung on the line on a coat hanger, so they're fine. nothing gets thrown into a pile which causes it to crease. when i hang stuff up on the line, i give it a good shake to get rid of any creases!
in the 3 years wehave lived out of home together, i have ironed DD's birth certificate when it got a little wet, a pair of jeans that i had tried on but wanted to return(skinny jeans that were baggy.. they just crumpled!) and i have ironed a shirt for dp when we were going out ONCE (that tells you how many times we have been out somewhere that requires something other than a t-shirt to be worn!)
like someone mentioned, when dd goes to school, and her uniform needs ironing, i will iron it. we dont look scruffy.. our clothes just dont need to be ironed!
I think it really depends on the style of clothes you wear, and therefor, the fabric. Also, like you said, whether you have a clean washing basket where the clothes sit. I hang mine straight away too.
I hate ironing so I'm glad I don't have to do it much!

I think your either an ironer or your not.
I loathe it, I iron DH's business shirts and that's it. I take great pleasure in being a horrible ironer and have no desire to iron a shirt that doesn't still have at least one crease in it
Most times DH will iron his own in the morning before he leaves for work, he used to be in the Army so does a way better job than I do and that's just the excuse I need
