Do you iron tea towels

I iron a shirt when a wedding or funeral requires it.

I have never been one for admiring my tea towel drawer and I can't recall anyone else ever asking to look at it.

I realise we’re very likely to meet up in the real world but rest assured if we did I would certainly ask to see and admire your tea towel drawer on the condition that you admired mine, too

Always. Ironed the minimum and now lots of clothing if you hang it straight up does not need ironing .Got a sister in law who irons everything what a waste of time

I don’t possess an iron ?

No. But I do have a dryer and find if you fold things fresh out of the dryer, wrinkles come out.

I iron tea towels, they look better in the drawer nice and sharply creased. Plus the hot iron kills germs. I don't mind ironing, I am very quick after years of practice

I used to iron everything before I hit the menopause. Hot flushes would start as soon as I was near any heat so I only ironed when I had to. Now at 65 and still working full time I only iron if necessary. But ironing socks kills germs and the same for knickers. The price of electricity now would curtail many.

I avoid ironing after years of having to do uniforms for work - except for patchwork, that is on a mini ironing board by the sewing machine. The best thing I ever invested in is a pulley on the ceiling of the kitchen. It was particularly useful for all the small bits for the children, no pegs, just popped along. Saved so much time, folded carefully there's no ironing time wasted. I know some people use ironing to listen to audio books, but I prefer a comfortable bed and my kindle, thanks .

Yes I always have done, following in my mother's footsteps who used to iron everything. She told me she ironed tea towels to sterilize them ? She taught me to iron on tea towels after I asked her to show me how to iron, it always reminds me of her every time.
I have to confess though if I dry them in the dryer they just get folded and put away, I guess they would be well sterilized by then even by my mums standards ?

Do any remain, considering all the super duper "new and improved" washing powders and liquids these days?

Always iron tea towels and bedding. The heat and steam kill off any remaining bacteria.

If I am in an ironing mood - it is always a result of a resolution to be tidy and ironed and properly folded things take up less space (I’ve got one of those foldy things so they are all the same size) Unfortunately healthwise I am not always able to follow up on good intentions. But, back in the day I ironed nappies, towels, handkerchiefs (remember them?) knickers, pants, sheets, duvet covers…

Rarely iron. But it’s quite a satisfying process when I do. My iron is off the 80s. Still sort of works. Needs an upgrade. Like most things round mine. ?

Yes, I iron my tea towels. I like to see them neat in the drawer.

Enjoy ironing and iron T towels (kills any bugs) sheets, pillowcases, husbands pants etc etc ...very soothing ironing an d listening to Audible or BBC sounds..peaceful time to myself which I can justify!!

I used to iron everything years ago..
I quite enjoyed ironing all my daughters tiny little bits and pieces when she was a child.
Now, though, no.

Yes. I'm in the minority also. I iron everything even towels. I know it's not really necessary but I still do it.

I do the weeks ironing on Saturday afternoons, and it’s about the only time I watch any television.
Nothing that demands too much concentration, at the moment I’m working through classic Coronation street.

My tea towels are mostly terry so don’t need ironed (I throw them in the tumble dryer with towels and fold them when dry) although I used to iron the two ends. I have a waffle one that my daughter brought from a holiday and that needs ironed so it’s not used much! No underwear is ironed although some of DH’s boxers could do with it - usually a good shake is all they get.
To deviate slightly, can I ask why some people call a drawer a draw? I’ve seen it used before but not in my part of the world. ?

I iron nothing ????

I don’t, better things to do with my time! Yet, my mum does… older generation thing maybe? She’s 75, but she always has lovely white ones too, soaks them the old way, I fail miserably!

Never ever ever!

I iron everything, tea towels dusters ver Muslim face cloths. Yes I’m mad, but I don’t bother to fold and throw everything in the ironing basket ?

Yes sterilses them. I washed told on a first qid course
