Ironing Bed Covers

[Queenofwistfulthinking]

Sorry not very exciting I know .

But if you hang your bed covers on the line outside to dry do you iron them before putting away? And if you don't do they look like a 'crushed rag' (my wee mum
Used to say this) when you put them back on the bed?

I always iron them once dry but genuinely thinking I just can't be arsed anymore but if needs must.

God no. They get creased once you've slept in them anyway, so what's the point unless you change them every day?

I have 100% linen bedding now (even better than expensive cotton imo). It's kind of supposed to look a bit rumpled/distressed, so that's another good excuse not to iron it. I loathe ironing!

Thank you all , covers have been dried ironed and put away. My wee mum would have been turning in her grave at the thought of unironed bed covers.😂

I never iron bedding. My fitted sheets are easycare, and everything else just gets hung up to dry. It ends up a little creased, but not enough to lose any sleep over.

Life is waaaay too short to be ironing bedding

No ironing here, not a chance!

But some people like ironing so...

It feels smoother but not so smooth that I’d waste my time ironing sheets! Don’t they just get crumpled a few days later anyway?

Wouldn't occur to me. Pointless waste of electricity.

Fuck no. Life's too short. They go in the dryer/on the line, then get folded right away.

If I really really really wanted smooth bed covers I'd take them for professional mangling.

It's not ironed though. It goes to the washers and is run through a mangle. Ironing heavy sheets would be crazily inefficient.
