Where do you iron?

Just wondering what room people do their ironing in? I currently do this in the bedroom but apparently that’s not the best place to do it (don’t have a utility or linen room)

No one in our house irons as a general rule but if I really really have to, it will be one item and done in our utility room.

What I forgot to add was. I used to take people's ironing in. I did that in the lounge while watching tv. Maybe that's why I never iron now.

Living room in front of the tv

Living room here too.

I don't! Unless it's one thing someone's about to wear that really does need ironing. Then probably just quickly in the kitchen.

Coffeethrowtrampbitch · 02/07/2020 14:48

In all of my nightmares.

Topseyt · 02/07/2020 14:52

Nowhere. I don't do ironing. Most pointless job ever invented.

MulticolourMophead · 02/07/2020 15:08

I don't often iron anything. I usually hang things up when they are dry and iron when I need to. If I need to iron, it's usually in my bedroom because up to now that's had the most free floor space. I've got a project on to empty and sort the cupboard under the stairs, and the ironing board will live there soon.

In the music room. At the moment I keep the ironing board up in there. It houses my upright piano (the grand is in my study), a couple of oboes, a music stand and odd garden things as there is a door directly onto the garden.

Always used to be in the living room whilst watching catch up TV. But now with the child usually watching something or playing a game on the TV I iron in the kitchen whilst watching catch up on the Ipad.

AriettyHomily · 02/07/2020 15:16

If I really really have to in the playroom which is up on he third floor and where the iron lives for 99.5% of the year,. In fact I don't even know if we have an ironing board anymore.

I do have a fab dry cleaner around the corner who is very good at ironing.

RaraRachael · 02/07/2020 15:21

I do mine in the living room while I watch TV or listen to music. I know it is seen as pointless nowadays but I iron most things - not as bad as my mother who used to iron bed sheets, knickers, towels etc

Wherearemyminions · 02/07/2020 15:23

In my ironing room, which sounds really posh but is just a spare room where the iron and ironing board live. When all the kids were at home I used to iron in the lounge. The ironing room also gets used to over winter plants as it makes it easier to remember to water them!

This is Mumsnet though so you will get loads of people saying that they can't tell if something has been ironed or not so why bother Grin

FunTimes2020 · 02/07/2020 15:27

In the bedroom for the odd item that might need a quick going over before wearing. I never do a pile of ironing.

IndieRo · 02/07/2020 15:28

Rarely iron so I iron on the bed because I have no ironing board.

DappledThings · 02/07/2020 15:29

In front of the TV.

ItWillBeOkayOnTheNight · 02/07/2020 15:30

I don't own an iron. My work clothes are just jeans and tops so I don't need one.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 02/07/2020 15:33

I don't.

Drogonssmile · 02/07/2020 15:36

Bedroom so I can hang everything straight up. I have my headphones and an audiobook on. DH does it in the living room in from of the TV.

I iron jeans. Blush

happymummy12345 · 02/07/2020 15:38

In the dining room, so I can put the ironed clothes on the table. I do iron pretty much everything though.

teenagetantrums · 02/07/2020 15:57

I iron about once a year. So put ironing board up in kitchen if l have to. Normally for funeral or wedding. Most of my clothes get hung up straight out of machine and don't need ironing.
