So many home no longer having an airing cupboard of any sort, due to Combi boilers not having to have a large tank of hot water taking up room.
Less and less clothes require ironing these days.
Living now in a flat I can no longer hang washing outside, but find my new heat pump dryer does a wonderful and very quick job.
So, in washing machine in the morning - in tumble dryer later in the morning,. After lunch everything taken out, folded carefully and put away in wardrobes, cupboard, drawers etc. Wonderful, nothing hanging around anywhere.
I have occasionally purchased something and then realised it is pure cotton or linen, and these do require a quick run over with the steam iron. I do that as soon as rest is put away, so these articles can join them,
Even back in the day when there was always a pile of ironing - I NEVER ironed things like tea towels, towels, etc. Can remember there used to be a tv advert for a washing powder which showed a woman ironing terry nappies and I always shouted at her for being stupid.
