Title: Do you even own an iron?
Post by: sommap on March 28, 2011, 09:19:10 am
I own one, but don't know the last time I used it.  I guess if I owned a lot of cotton shirts that I had to wear to work, I would have to iron.  Since I don't work, I can wear what I please.  It seems that if you can clothes out of the dryer and hang them right away, most of them don't need ironing.

I personally don't worry about ironing my clothes. I used to do so in the near past, but not anymore. I just wear my clothes just like that (if they look too bad, then I do iron them, but it's not a regular deed.

Yes, but don't use it. Rather run through the dryer (with a sheet) the morning I wear it..

The only thing I have to iron is my uniform.  I don't iron any other clothes.

Yes I do have an iron which I rarely use mainly because when I finishing ironing soming it has more wrinkles then when I started. Thankfully most of my clothes are wash and wear! :wave:

I do own an iron and just used it this week. My husband has to wear business clothes for work, so I am always ironing them.

I own one, it still in box, so you can tell how often I use it.   I gave my old one to my daughter and bought so I would have one.

i certainly do. my fiance and i found an older model
one at thrift store for 2 or 3 bucks - it's heavy, but
it works perfectly. i use it a few times a week...

before leaving for college, someone gifted me a new
iron. it was lightweight/mostly plastic and the thing
crapped out after a few months  ::)

as the world moves forward and tosses their amazing
junk away for shiny pieces of crap, i'm there to help
dispose of it... haha!

I do own one but can't even remember the last time I used it.    My new iron is the wrinkle releaser stuff you can buy!  I never was a fan of ironing!

Like everyone else, I own an iron which has had a lot of use in the past but mostly just holds it's place in the closet these days.  The last time it was used was for my grandson's fatigues a couple of years ago.  Since my husband & I are retired, we don't really need it anymore.

Post by: froggylover227 on April 04, 2011, 11:38:25 pm
I own an iron, but only for those heavily set-in wrinkles that magically apppear on the days that I need to look my best. Otherwise, I tumble my stuff around in the dryer for a little while, then pop them on some hangers and they are good to go. Or I have that wrinkle release spray which does a pretty nice job too!

I do own an iron and just used it this week. My husband has to wear business clothes for work, so I am always ironing them.

Same here I iron at least once a week or once every other week if I have the time to do 2 weeks worth of shirts, since I am short of $$ cannot afford Dry cleaners anymore, so now I iron my hubby's shirts, and my work pants, my shirts are pretty much wash and wear so no need for those.

Post by: jordandog on April 13, 2011, 09:13:48 am
Own one and use it all the time. I would be lost without it and, strange as it may sound, I actually like to iron. I suppose I should add that I DETEST anything that is 100% polyester which became the new 'never have to iron' phenom many years ago and cotton pretty much has to be ironed. I would never do what my aunts all did when I was growing up though. They actually ironed all their sheets, pillowcases, towels, etc. No thank you - a little too OCD even for crazy me. ;)

Yes, I own an iron and use it quite frequently.
Title: Re: Do you even own an iron?
Post by: milwaukeej on April 13, 2011, 10:44:15 am
Definitely! Even though most of the time getting stuff out of the dryer is effective enough, there are still times where clothes get wrinkled in the closet, etc.

We also have a steamer which I use even more than the iron - so easy to use and it's gentler on the clothes.

I don't own one and I have never needed one until last weekend when I finished making some knit baby clothes that I had to smooth down the edges. I ended up borrowing my boss's because my friends couldn't even find theirs.

I own one, but have only used it about 3 times in 10 years.  My mother-in-law irons all their clothes.  I wouldn't want to spend the time ironing clothes that don't need it. 
Title: Re: Do you even own an iron?
Post by: angie828 on April 16, 2011, 07:42:55 am
I own one but rarely use it.  I like to put my items in the dryer if they are wrinkly if I can.  Or else I hang them and spritz with water to get the wrinkles out.
Title: Re: Do you even own an iron?
Post by: jcribb16 on April 16, 2011, 09:05:01 am
We own an iron.  It's mainly used for my hubby's dress shirts, when I can't afford the cleaners, and for a couple of dresses or blouses with pintucks or something similar.  I sure don't iron like I did years ago before the dryer sheets came out!  Gotta love 'em!!

I don't even know where it's at if even still in the house.  I never ironed clothes.  The label says perma press so I believe it.  My iron was more for kids crafts.  So not much at all.  LOL
