To wonder who are these people who don't iron

[Mummaaaaaah]

And to wonder what their secrets are? I hear it all the time and have no idea how they manage it. It would be my idea of nirvana not to iron again.

Just weddings, funerals and interviews here... and that's if I can find it. A friend came to stay and was most nonplussed when I couldn't find the iron

I was one of those people....until I put Netflix in the bedroom! Now I'm happily ironing my way through the Gilmore girls, Gossip girl, Once, to name but a few. Honestly, before I "did ironing", the kids never looked half as tidy as they do now. Even though things weren't creased, they definitely weren't ironed either x

I'm one of those crazy people who iron everything except underwear and socks bedding sometimes gets ironed twice as I iron when it's been washed then again when it's on the bed. I can't not iron my clothes as I can hear my mum and gran judging me if I don't. Same reason I clean my oven

I don't iron. There's no secret, or knack to doing the laundry. Some of us just simply don't give a fuck about creases. End of.

I still didn't iron when I worked fulltime, and no dryer either! We have a big airer in the utility room.

I keep glancing over at DH and DS and thinking "well I don't see any creases..."

I only have an iron for Hama beads!

I don't get the 'life is too short' argument. I iron when I'm watching programmes I like on the tv. Presumably most people like to watch even a little bit of television, or does this 'life is too short' attitude mean you're all out learning a tenth language or marathon training every night?
I'm just multi tasking and the clothes look better for it!

I iron most things. We don't have a drier and things are dried on the line/Victorian-style airers/radiators [in winter]. Pretty much everything looks far better once it's ironed, esp shirts, and bedding, and yes, teatowels.

Me I don't iron. I have started hanging clothes more carefully to try and limit creasing but that's a new development. Maybe I look a bit creased sometimes but I think most clothes don't look it.

I used to religiously iron like my mum does every week and slowly it went out of the window because of jobs, children, horses, life etc etc.
I iron anything that I need to before I (or anyone else) wears it but generally I dry on the line or on the clothes horse until almost dry, tumble dry for 10-15 mins and then fold and back on the clothes horse or hang up on hangers until fully dry. You don't get the crisp ironed creases but generally it's pretty smooth and doesn't look horrendous. If something is still creased and I can't be arsed with ironing it I hang it in the bathroom while we shower/bath and the steam takes the worst out for me :D

I crochet/draw/drink wine when I watch TV, because I want to relax.
The only time I enjoyed ironing was working in an old peoples home, as it was the job that meant you could have the radio on. I loved ironing all the hankies into neat little shapes!

DH irons his own shirts. I iron kids uniform and I have 2-3 dresses which require ironing but I rarely wear then! The rest of my clothing doesn't require ironing.

I never iron, and I never wear creased clothes! My top is, don't overfill the washing machine and hang as much as possible on hangers.

My work friend doesn't iron - she works full time and is a single parent, so has little time, and she and her son both look smart and crease free.

She says she hangs clothes up straight from the drier, but in a crease emergency, she uses her hair straighteners to press the offending item whilst it's still hanging

I don't iron. I don't wear high maintenance clothes. I don't have or need smart clothes apart from special occasion type things.

Yes, I expect we would look more 'crisp' if I ironed. It's just not that important for me. Plus I wash at least 2 loads a day. I shudder to think how long it would take to iron.

I have a steamer for my work clothes and I have literally ironed twice in my life. The first time as a child and I burned a hole in the carpet. The second was... I don't know what was wrong with me but I ironed my pillowcases. In the nude. I was having a strange week, ok?

I iron ds's school uniform, and anything that looks like it badly needs it (usually something that's got crumpled at the back of a drawer), but that's about it. Most stuff including dp's uniform is fine if hung flat and straight. My mum irons everything, bedsheets, towels, tea towels, pants And she has to iron all her work clothes! (Dress code not uniform.)

Another non ironer. I specifically buy clothes that are unlikely to crease. Working from home also helps (except for pesky google hangout calls)

I'm 39 and have never ironed anything in my life. I buy stretchy things and hang them up upside down to dry.

I think there are two types of clothes in the world 1) stuff that looks creased after sitting down for ten minutes, no matter how perfectly you ironed and 2) stuff where the creases fall out after wearing it for ten minutes. No need to iron either.

Creased clothes and bedding never get anything like high enough up my 'problem now' list to do anything about it.

Sort of funny: When I was ironing my and my DCs cloths for my wife's funeral, the ironing board collapsed from metal corrosion.

Me. Dm. Dsis. If something is reakly screwed up ive been known to chuck it back in the laundry then next time its wet ill shake it out and hang it up and hope for the best. I iron school trousers if I have to.

Me! Far better things to do with my time than worry about a slightly creased top!

I iron shirts and smart trousers but that is all. I don't own a tumble drier so I think that helps. Everything taken straight out the washing machine, violently shaken to remove creases then immediately hung on the pulley. The only other people who I will allow to hang up wasing are DH or my mum as no one else shakes the creases out well enough, resulting in what my Mum's friend used to refer to as " corrugated washing!" Almost fell out with MIL over it (my excuse is that I had a toddler and newborn baby at the time)
