Do you iron your sheets?

Mrs. Grumppa and I never iron sheets, duvets, etc. But I did have a catch-up session today while she wrapped Christmad presents and ironed 32 shirts (there has been a lot going on recently and domestic chores have been overlooked by me). I now feel knackered but virtuous.

I iron on average, 3 items a month.

I do. Sheets, duvet covers, tea towels, face cloths, nickers...the lot

Yes, like Jomarie - I've been ironing since I was about 13! I don't mind ironing - in fact I quite enjoy it... I am happy to do ironing for DD and DGD and DS and DGD as well. I do love a nice pile of freshly ironed clothes
However, I don't iron socks, tea towels, towels etc and rarely iron bedclothes - though this is only because I send them to the local laundry lady - she does a fab job, much better than I could do

I iron nothing.

I must say I feel better having read some of these messages - I used to iron sheets, shirts and the like, but cheerfully gave it up a few years ago when a frozen shoulder made it physically impossible. Knowing that so many of you ladies do likewise is a real boost!

In retirement I wear good quality teeshirts* all the time, and they are perfectly wearable straight from the dryer. As for bed-linen - when the light's out you can't see the creases, and you certainly can't feel them ...

*From Lands' End - quick commercial there ...

Yes - I still iron sheets etc. (not towels or knickers/socks). As there are only two of us now at home it seems an easy (and enjoyable) chore compared to when I had all those shirts to iron for 3 school children and shirts for husband as well as blouses for myself! I quite enjoy the warmth and there is, for me, a certain satisfaction in making things neat and tidy. My daughter irons NOTHING ! In fact I often itch to iron GS's cute T-shirts - they would look so much better in the drawer........

I have managed to resist so far as it would cause major eruptions from DD. Obviously I have too much time of my hands, although, to be fair, ironing is something I have always done since about 13/14 as my mother hated doing it and was happy to give me pocket money for doing it (which I spent on cigarettes)

I do, I love ironed sheets, duvet covers, the whole kit and caboodle
I don't iron socks like my mum though!

No I don't iron anything but just take a lot of care in the drying process. I'm careful how I peg things on the line and fold neatly as soon as I take them in. The outside table comes in handy. That's when the weather allows of course. Unfortunately I don't have the space for a tumble dryer.

In a word.....no! Retrieve from dryer whilst still warm and fold, they're fine

I do have an iron, somewhere !!

I like ironed bedclothes, but that's just me. For clothes, if you take them out the machine when the cycle finishes, smooth and fold, then hang up to dry, no ironing required. If you must, a wee spin in the tumble drier will remove any creases.

I do -if I had the wherewithal I would have clean ironed sheets every day - but I don't so just do them weekly. -I guess in total it takes maximum 1/2 hour.

I have never ironed bed clothes and since I retired from work I have only ironed clothes for special occasions. Life is way to short.

The only time I iron sheets and duvet covers is if we are having visitors to stay (not our dear children - they don't iron their bed linen either!) - fortunately not a regular occurrence - and a right faff it is too. I do iron pillowcases but normally that's all. My best friend was horrified when I told her I never ironed bedlinen - I went down considerably in her estimation !

I don't iron other than my dress trousers for work which I do tend to leave on too long a spin, other than that I just hang em on the 'horse' to air. I would never iron bed linen.

Sheets and pillow slips are the only things I iron. I am a hot body so I starch my cotton bedding and iron it so that it is crisp and cool. However, with an extra wide ironing board and a steam generator iron, it is done in no time.
Even in winter I have no duvet, just a sheet over me, with Chillows beside me and under the pillows. If I wasn't so lazy I would change my bed daily.

I sadly iron all bed linen and tea towels. Cannot bear the look or feel of un-ironed sheets and ironed tea towels fit into the drawer far more easily.

I have a life
I can't remember when I last used an iron.

Erm, yes. I iron duvet covers and pillowcases and clothes. Just me then...?

Indinana my mother, who had one day off a month used to iron bra straps!

Absolutely not, when fitted sheets are well stretched they are perfect and why bother? But do do pillowcases.

Nope don't iron sheets, duvet covers or pillows. A good stretch, fold and smooth down is plenty of effort.

After travelling for a year, I stopped ironing anything....I have since started again as I find high spinning creases t shirts, and I do like the top of my duvet smooth.
