Things you can’t get your head round, e.g Non ironers

Is it just me or does anyone else not understand how people who don’t iron manage ? Whenever someone tells me they don’t iron my brain can’t compute how they manage to have clothes looking crinkle free- without consciously buying clothes that don’t need ironing! I hang clothes on coat hangers, fold consciously to avoid creasing but still have to iron things like blouses, dh shirts and my dd school skirts, for example. Do I need to buy better quality clothing, is that the key? Can any non ironers out there share their secrets please 😀🤓

I boil wash my iron, anything else is just filth.

I just don't give a crap if there are wrinkles on things, basically.

Same
everything I wear is clean and washed so what if I look “scruffy” in non ironed clothes I got bigger things to worry about to be honest

For what it's worth...not British

Is that relevant? My grandmother isn't British and irons everything, even socks. Busy woman in the past with her career, too.

Only because somebody upthread pointed out ' For what it's worth...I'm British' 😉😁

Honestly I find if you hang washing up on the washing line straight out the washing machine, or hang washing straight out the tumble dryer then most items of clothing doesn't need ironing. It's when wet clothes are left for an amount of time in the washing machine or in a washing basket where it then needs ironing.
