I'm pretty sure we had a whole thread of good tips, anyone volunteering to find it?

When younger, I used to sit on folded clothes. They never needed ironing! Nowadays I just do the smoothing, folding thing. The only items I iron are my starched cotton sheets and pillow slips, because I love the feel of crisp cool bedding.

I hang my clothes in my large wardrobe in rainbow colour order, and each section ranging from pale to dark. A bit OCD I know, but I can lay my hand on a wanted item immediately. Unfortunately I still sometimes decide that I have nothing suitable to wear!

Better tip: get someone else to do your ironing! grin

That's the good thing about Gransnet Tab, you needn't be afraid to say anything really (as long as it's not offensive obviously) smile

wow I really thought I was the only person that did that, my family think I'm nuts and do not understand why I do it....I hardly ever do ironing but was afraid to say that out loud..

I do that all the time. It also means I NEVER do any ironing. grin

One of my tips is when taking the washing out of the washing machine fold it and stack it before hanging it, it saves on the ironing. I have been doing that foe many years now.

Looking forward to hearing more tips smile
