I just got done with a basket full of ironing that I put off doing for 3 months

[KitchenWitch]

Ask me anything.

[Lex]

1. People still iron?

Isn't that what the 'fluff' cycle on the dryer is for?

[KitchenWitch]

2. I have some linen items that still wrinkle up in the fluff cycle.

[Lex]

13. Yes

the linen can be problematic. I love linen in the summertime though.

[MissMillie]

3. I'm an "iron the day before you wear it" kind of gal

that way you can put it off as long as you're not wearing the stuff.

That's efficient, don't you think?

[KitchenWitch]

6. Works for me

But I am doing the whole "back to school" nesting ritual. So I tackled the whole damn thing.

[mopinko]

4. what is ironing?

not in my skill set.

[KitchenWitch]

8. Not really in mine either, to be quite honest

[mopinko]

14. i used to get the job as a kid.

i kinda liked it, and it was a great way to suck up around the house. i am over that now, tho.

[IndianaJones]

5. starch? nt.

[KitchenWitch]

7. Starch is for wimps.

:P

[IndianaJones]

9. steam? nt.

[KitchenWitch]

10. Always!

Scorched my thumb with the steam today.

[IndianaJones]

11. I salute you. nt.

[Gormy Cuss]

12. How much is a basketful?

I can't stand ironing one item the day before wearing it even though it seems to be the easiest approach. I tend to iron when I can spend an hour doing it while listening to some soothing music. Makes it a more Zen-like experience.

Of course, I don't have a five year old.

[KitchenWitch]

16. 12 items!

I got way behind.

[RebelOne]

15. I haven't done any real ironing in years.

I hang my clothes up as soon as they come out of the dryer. I only use an iron to touch up.

[NMDemDist2]

17. ask you anything?? was it wrong of me to send hubby's 'job interview' shirt to the cleaners to be

done professionally instead of hauling my lazy @ss into the back room and dragging out the ironing board and iron???

wait


don't answer that! :hide:

[KitchenWitch]

18. Not wrong at all!

I don't iron my husband's shirts - he takes them to the cleaners. They come out crisper that way.

[NMDemDist2]

22. crisp! yeah, that's the ticket!

I'll tell him he looks 'crisper' that way :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

23. Happy to be of service!

:rofl:

[mtnester]

19. I would have donated them by now

tsk tsk

:)

[KitchenWitch]

21. LOL

:hi:

[irish.lambchop]

20. I iron most everything every day!

Even clothing just out of the dryer - a habit from living in Ireland. The dryers there have a ceramic heating element - yes, it dries the clothes, but they're still wrinkled due to no air circulation.

[KitchenWitch]

24. So, no tumbling then?

[irish.lambchop]

27. No tumbling -

as you know it here. Just loads of heat and bunched up clothes going around every now and again. I even iron sheets for mercy's sake!

[KitchenWitch]

28. Now THAT is dedication.

or something.

[irish.lambchop]

29. Stupidity, I'd say! :)

[Demeter]

25. I Have Ten Years of Ironing--Will You Come Over?

[KitchenWitch]

26. for a price!

:P
