Do you iron tea towels

No I never iron tea towels. I only iron anything when absolutely necessary. (bad back).
I like folding and patting...

I also iron my OH pants ?? am I mad !!

Well, you are in my book! Sorry! ?

Yes, you are mad! I grew up with a mother who ironed everything, even tights. She would iron them under a tea towel. And towels, socks, bras etc. I iron more things now I'm retired but I used to send my clothes for ironing when I was married and the children were at school. But I have never ironed tea towels! If it makes you happy though, carry on ?

I was put off ironing by my mum who would even iron socks.
No I don't iron tea towels or much else.

No life's to short for that!

The hours I’ve saved not ironing can be counted in the thousands. ?

Hell no! I fold everything as it comes off the line, the only thing I iron nowadays is some cotton shirts and summer dresses. I spent years ironing mine and hubbies work uniforms including a dozen white shirts a week and bed linen. No more ironing unless absolutely necessary for me.

I remember my Gran used to iron most things made of cotton; tea towels included.
My Mother most certainly did not do that, she was a working mum, and didn't make time for that.
I never iron anything anymore.
I hang clothing to dry either outside or inside and things dry straight and fold up nicely too.
It is however a soothing thing to do, ironing, and if it gives you a nice feeling to do it, go for it!

I got out my ironing board this morning for the first time for 2 years, and this is only because I'm going out tomorrow and want to look half decent. I don't iron anything unless absolutely necessary. Life's too short!

The last time I ironed anything it was because I was doing a sewing project. I just wash it and hang it up and hope the creases drop out. Life is too short for that pallaver.

I have a rule that if something does not bring me money or pleasure then I will avoid it at all costs.

I moved house over 3 years ago and haven't unpacked the iron yet. As no one appears to have noticed that my clothes and bed linen are unironed, I'm rather cross with myself that I wasted all those years ironing it all.

Never.. If I could get out of not having to iron anything Id be a happy lady.

Stark raving mad, yes. Mind you, my Mum ironed everything but claimed to enjoy it. One of my Godmothers ironed her stockings. I only iron anything under duress.

I can’t remember the last time I got the ironing board and iron out.
I don’t leave washing in the machine, it’s taken out ASAP. I use the shake twice and peg out system then fold as soon as dry, and pat a bit to encourage it all to lay flat.
There is little which actually needs to be ironed apart from the occasional shirt or maybe a linen dress fir a special occasion.

I don’t iron
No man in the house, no childrens school uniform any more and most of my clothes don’t need ironing never iron bed clothes you just mess them up and fitted sheets pull straight anyway
I don’t use anything like silk or linen
Very occasionally something needs a quick press but it’s not usual

Always iron tea towels, I quite like ironing them actually.

nice to see so many like minded people, only iron when absolutely necessary

I hardly iron anything and I never look crumpled ?

I used to, purely because I don’t have a very big kitchen and ironed things tend to take up less space in the drawer, but no longer. I smooth them out for drying, and just fold.

As for ironing any bloke’s pants, ?!

Of course I don’t iron tea towels! Or anything else, for that matter.

I iron shirts, pillow cases, trousers and yes, tea towels, but never t-shirts (unless it's a dressy one to go out in), underwear or sheets. I do tea towels because they fit better for putting away, and because when I was a Brownie we were told that if someone had a cut or a burn, you could cover it with an ironed tea towel, which would be clean, if not sterile. That advice has stayed with me ever since!

Of course not! Actually, the only thing I iron is DGS's school trousers. Nothing else.

Sadly, yes. I think they look nicer.

I no longer do any ironing. My tea towels are the terry variety so don't need it anyway.
