Do you iron tea towels

I am not even sure that I own an iron any more

Yes, I do.

I definitely don’t these days, but I do remember unused to! I used to find ironing very therapeutic when I was working and I used to find the solution to most work related problems whilst ironing! My dil irons every single item, even socks and underwear! I remember she melted a pair of my lace knickers when I was staying with them, as she insisted I was on holiday and she did all my washing then ironed it!

Waste of time and energy!

I iron very little. Maybe a couple of shirts for husband if I'm feeling generous!

I had 4 teenagers all at High Schools
So many white shirts to iron
I never want to see another
Evidently, if you use your kitchen for a home business The health inspector likes to see ironed T towels Something to do with killing bacteria !

I don’t have an iron or ironing board. I don’t have anything that needs ironed these days (or not that I’ve noticed anyway).

No, never. In fact I iron as little as possible of my own stuff as I do my daughter's ironing.

There are 5 of them in the family so it takes a while. I now sit on a high stool to do the ironing. Back pain.

One of my carers irons everything in sight even my knickers. The other one only sheets and pillow case.

Yes, while I like to minimise ironing wherever possible I usually iron my tea towels as I feel it’s more hygienic. I’m also very fussy about what I put in the wash with them - definitely no knickers or underpants!

I do iron tea towels as when I was a girl guide was always taught that a well ironed tea towel folded with the ironed part inside made a very good dressing to stem bleeding as it would be sterilised. Hence I always iron them the way I was taught. Don’t iron towels or undies though.

Are you kidding! I use small guest towels made of terry in my kitchen but in any case I wouldn't be ironing them. The only thing I iron are my linen clothes. I love linen so am willing to do the work!

I used to iron everything, even tea towels. But earlier this year, I had an operation on my wrist , so I was unable to do any ironing.
What a revelation, I don’t think I’ll be going back to ironing. ?

No. I used to iron everything, but the tumble dryer deals with all that now. I just take them out and fold them. When you think about the hours spent ironing and electricity used by an iron I think it probably works out about the same, but with no effort.

Heavens no! The only things I iron are pillowcases and shirts. I do like ironed sheets etc but hate ironing and so don't. Saves electricity too.

I iron nearly everything as I think unironed clothing can look a bit scruffy and not very fresh. Again I was taught to iron tea towels as the heat would kill any bacteria left after washing.

Yes you are, why would you iron tea towels? Or underpants , they would all hard and horrible and lose their softness from the wash

No you're not mad - I do too but only because I hate ironing other peoples' clothes like shirts and trousers. I dig around in the laundry basket for anything other than those so hankies pants and tea towels always get done.

Sorry forgot to mention that I do a lot of dressmaking so the irons are out almost permanently.

I’ve just ironed tea towels and underwear along with duvet cover and bed sheets !
I find it relaxing really.

I do the ironing in our house and yes, tea towels are ironed. The odd t-shirt of mine + summer dresses, quilt covers and pillowcases (sometimes sheets too) + I do his t-shirts, work stuff and jeans. If it doesn't need ironing I won't bother. In winter when I will put a fleece/hoodie over t-shirts I have been known not to bother and pull them out of the ironing pile as nobody will see them a bit creased anyway - as I rarely go out I don't feel the need to iron any more than I need to. Before anyone gets on my case for ironing a few bits that are not mine, there is a lot I am unable to do and he does all of this so I don't mind the few jobs I can manage - he has never asked me, never moaned if I haven't done it and often thanks me when he finds newly ironed bits in his drawers or wardrobe or even left in a pile to be put away by him. I also regularly thank him for all he does to help me too - it works both ways.

I have giggled at a few comments and hats off to those who don't or won't iron - I'm nearly at that stage! One of my ex-boyfriends had a mum who ironed/pressed/starched everything, including socks, underwear, flannels, towels etc - I still remember biting my tongue as a teenager that didn't get why these things needed ironing.

Yes I do iron tea towels, I also iron pants my husbands as well, also socks, dusters, towels and flannels. I know I am really sad. I was ironing my grandsons boxers the other day and asked if he would like creases in them for a joke he was mortified.

Crumbs! I avoid anything that needs ironing unless it's absolutely necessary - and by that I mean it has to be creased beyond wearing out to an event. I've NEVER ironed a tea towel as far as I recall - it gets scrunched up the minute it's used so why bother

Of course and my frilly knickers too

I never iron anything unless it's really screwed up or if hubby asks very nicely! Life is too short!
