Ironing & ironing boards

I iron most things, can’t bear creased clothes.I spend quite a lot on a good ironing board, a German brand from Lakeland called Leifheit which I can really recommend.

I have a linen jacket which creases if I look at it. It has been hanging on the Newel Post of my stairs for the past 6 weeks after being washed waiting for me to find my iron so it can go in the wardrobe until next summer.

I find most things smooth out when I wear them, given a bit of time.

When DH was working, I sent both our and DD’s ironing out - his business shirts and so many sets of bedding drove me to distraction. Then when he took early retired and later became ill, I did the ironing myself and found I quite liked 20 minutes here and there. Now he’s gone, I still have mine and DD2’s to see to, but with the added ‘bonus’ of DGS2’s stuff - I love ironing his school uniform and dinosaur bedding!

Perhaps I need to get out more?

I rarely iron, less every year. Tumble dryer, then fold.

I love ironed sheets and clothes. I'd be disappointed if I went to a smart hotel and the sheets weren't ironed, so why wouldn't I enjoy this at home?
My son has inherited this, and irons with enthusiasm.

Get the creases out of your by hanging them in the bathroom/ shower room when having having a shower .My previous house had a lovely ledge on the ceiling, from which I used to hang clothes, to get the creases out.

only Iron if needed, some clothes I fold over the radiator..

I iron because most of our clothes and bedding are made from natural fabrics and need ironing, unlike polyester, fleece etc which doesn’t.

I still iron if the fabric requires it I don't want to go out looking a crumpled mess.
A lot of fabrics look fine if hung to dry bit some do not including my DHs polo shirts.

I iron as little as possible. I must confess my ironing board is stood ready - covered in cobwebs!!
