No I m a slob but I find if they are washed on 30degrees and hung straight up they aren’t very creased I have fitted sheets so the creases are pulled out when I pull them on If I had company and they ‘looked’ creased I would, but on a normal basis no I don’t
You are not a slob at all BlueBelle that made me laugh, mine are also fitted bottom sheets which as you say when you pull them across the creases come out,all of mine once washed and aired go on the bed , I don’t iron duvet covers either, and they look ok. But if they looked creased then I probably would
I used to; duvet cover, pillow slips, sheets, the lot. But since I moved here 9 months ago, I haven't even unpacked the iron! And honestly, my bed doesn't look any less "dressed" now than it did when I spent ages ironing, so I won't be going back to that particular chore.
Never the bottom fitted sheet, as others have said. Most of my duvet covers don’t need ironing, just one set benefit from it. I always iron pillowcases though.
I use poly/cotton and line dry where possible, which (usually) removes the need for ironing.
On the recent ITV series Flesh and Blood with Francesca Annis, in one scene, she had grey linen bedclothes and they looked dreadful, really creased and crumpled. My mother would have said they weren’t fit for floorcloths!
I’m with paddyanne on this. There’s nothing like sleeping on freshly ironed bed linen . Like ellianne I iron tea towels and towels. I accept I’ll never get this time back
I'm with Paddyanne and Grandmafrench on this one. I love to have nicely ironed bed linen, don't much like doing it but worth the effort. I don't use fitted sheets at all only flat ones.
I've said it before and (being very boring) will probably say it again - I don't iron anything, because smooth clothing or bedding will make my skin look even more wrinkled, whereas badly-creased things do the opposite!
I used to iron everything but now only the pillowcases. My winter duvet covers are brushed cotton for warmth and always look ok. Incidently, my pillowcases are mostly thirty years old, and look as new. They are Sanderson and Dorma. I cant find anything better than these.
I do iron duvet covers and pillowcases but never fitted sheets and any clothes that can get by with a quick shake don’t get ironed either. I could never understand my mother in law ironing underwear, socks and towels!
