Do you iron tea towels

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. ?

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 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.

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!

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

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.

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).

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

Waste of time and energy!

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!

Yes, I do.

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

No way! Shirts, smart trousers & uniform only. As soon as my dad retired my mom made him do his own ironing

Yes! I iron tea towels ! I feel it helps with sterilisation. I also iron T shirts. Shirts and blouses. I do not iron underwear or towels

No, they are more absorbent if left un ironed.

I iron my tea towels and my OH pants. My brother used to iron his socks, I’m not that crazy.

What's a tea towel? (ducks)

I iron as little as possible. Some cotton, linen items etc. I choose clothes deliberately that will not need ironing. I find a handheld steamer is great for getting out creases when clothes are hanging to be worn the next day. Tea towels do look nice when they are ironed, I admit, but as mine are terry or micro fibre, I save myself that chore. I live alone so can be as lazy as I like after years of ironing shirts, school uniforms and the rest!

Ironed tea towels dry up quicker than non-ironed. They only need a quick run over with the iron - nothing fancy.

What's an iron ? Oh, I have one stuck in the walk in pantry, but the last time I used it was when I was shortening some curtains!
Most clothing these days really doesn't need ironing. I put most of my tops on a hanger or roll them to put in a drawer and they are fine - trousers are either jersey or folded and put on a hanger.
My teatowels are micro fibre so don't need ironing at all.

Never have. Never will

I Love ironing! I'm just going to do some now.

Wow no I don’t iron tea towels I’m to busy enjoying my retirement ticking off the bucket list. Ladies don’t sweat the small stuff. If you wash them and take them out of machine soon as it stops shake them and dry them they do not need ironing. I think it’s from the era where women stayed at home all day running the home while men worked. I broke that mould by being a working mum.

With electricity prices soaring, the need to use less for environmental reasons and not enough hours in the day, I see no reason to iron anything that isn't absolutely essential.
