ive washed them and dried them and am in the middle of ironing them to sell, but i just cant seem to get all those creases out. i have the iron on high and am steaming constantly, is my iron just useless or is it me?? what can i do?? i wouldnt be happy selling them as they are

Are they 100% cotton? Because if they are then I find them a nightmare to iron.

The only way I can get creases out of 100% cotton is to iron them when they are quite damp.

sounds like they are too dry, you need to iron when they are still slightly damp and then hang over a bannister of something

Wash them again & iron when just damp

Get your dry cleaner to iron them. They have special gigantic irons and wont cost you much.

I just use plenty of fabric conditioner when washing bedsheets, + tumble dry on low. I find they come out pretty much crease free. Don't tumble dry on high though, the creases will be etched in!!

tumble drier packed in about a month ago, new one arriving on tue, i suppose i could restrain myself from washing them till then.!!! thanks onthepier

put a cow on each corner and get them to walk backwards whilst holding it in their teeth
