Aibu to not iron bed sheets

[lalaland1985]

We have a superking bed. For the past hour and a half I have been standing ironing sheets to put on the bed. I have only managed the flat sheet and pillow cases. I have the bloody duvet cover and fitted sheet to go! Aibu to fling it all on in its creased form!?

Who irons anything generally?! If DH has an interview/wedding/funeral then we'll do him a shirt, and I've got one work (officey) blouse that has to be, but nothing else. Bedding would be bottom of my list. With towels and pants!

I don't iron! I should really as i'v got a girl that likes to wear pretty dressers but I tend to tumble dry a lot if her stuff or purposefully buy stuff that doesn't crease! I'v also become a right bad hand and USING MY HAIR STRAIGHTENERS!!!!!" Instead of a iron!!! Pmsl no faffing about getting it all out just a few sweeps each side!! ALSO.... I "ironed" on all her name tags with my straighteners on hrs new uniform! Took no time at all!

Your welcome ;) lol

I know a couple of people who iron literally everything. Everything gets washed, then it gets ironed. Socks, bed sheets, bras, manky old dishcloths... confused

Utterly baffling.

I do school uniforms and the rest can fuck off."

I love you Thora

Do you tumble dry your bed clothes? I always hang mine up neatly to dry then it is not creased at all. I wouldn't bother iron it even if it was though to be honest!

Am sad but I do. And I iron tea towels.

Take it to an ironing service

If you give up having the sheets ironed the next thing will be that the staff stop washing the small change in your purse.

The skies will fall.

No need to iron! The creases will disappear when you make the need.
Also, why do you have a duvet cover AND a flat sheet AND a fitted sheet? You only need one sheet surely? Stop making work for yourself!

I would iron bedsheets if I found myself with absolutely nothing else to do and couldn't think of anything else to do and was bored of staring at the wall

I wouldn't do it even then!

I iron bed linen. A superking duvet cover takes me about 10 minutes. I hate having creased bedding on the bed.

I iron practically everything. I like doing it.

I know somebody who used to iron the baby's muslins

I iron hama beads and that's it.

Having said that, I do quite like ironing (whilst watching TV) & aspire to be the sort of person who wears ironed clothes. But not bed sheets.

I rarely iron. There is the odd shirt that always needs it (and sits waiting for weeks for me to be arsed to do it). I either tumble things or give them a damn good shake out before hanging up to dry. Then fold carefully & put away. It really makes little difference. I don't think I have ever ironed bedding. If it's the kind of fabric that won't wash & dry smoothly then I don't buy it.

Lower your standards and enjoy the extra time you'll have to yourself!

I put mine in the airing cupboard and it has the same effect as ironing. But I wouldn't mind if it didn't. Ironing bedding is a tragic waste of time and effort.
