Which of your clothes do you iron?

July 3, 2008 5:52am CST
With the price of the energy, it cost yopu a lot to iron most of your clothes. I use to iron only my baby clothes and the clothes before I go at work. As I work in an office I must be very careful in what I wear and the look of the clothes I put on.

there are certain things you cannot avoid to do irrespective of how high the cost is,am sure you will agree with me that you cannot avoid to wear rumpled blouse or shirt or skirt as the case may be to the office or anywhere else.i do my irning once and for all so mostly my ironing is done mostly once in a week but definitely not more than 3 times in a month ,i do that and put the clothes on hangers in my wardrobe

I only iron my shirts and a few of my T-shirts. Not for energy saving reasons, but these are the only clothes I have that need ironing.

We have someone ironed our clothes twice a month. Office uniforms and school uniforms and some for going out are the one being ironed. But all our house dress and some cloth that is wash and wear we dont bother to iron. We have to save energy as it is being too costly nowadays.

I don't even own an iron. I don't buy clothes that need to be ironed but I am a stary at home mom so I don't have to wear pants suits or anything like that like if I worked in an office.

I usually do not iron my clothes especially unless I have to go to a certain event or occasion where I have to be presentable. Of course being presentable does not mean wearing a wrinkled clothes, right? I usually iron my formal clothes lihe sleeves and polo, including the slacks, of course. I also worked before as an office clerk so I have to wear formal clothes and ironing them before putting it on and go to the office is a necessity.

Now that I am retired and no longer need to dress for work I never iron anything. I never buy any article of clothing that requires ironing.

Luckily, I don't need to look too neat at work. As a massage therapist, I dress for comfort, not looks. Some therapists wear scrubs, but I don't really feel comfortable in them. The only time I iron is if I have an event that I need to approach a lot of people. My theory is that once you've ironed some garments, instead of just throwing them in the dryer, they don't fluff in the dryer as well. My aunt makes fun of me because I say they get addicted to the iron. I actually didn't own an iron for about 2 years.

I do not iron anything. I hang everything up immediately after it comes from the dryer and try to buy things that don't wrinkle b/c I can't iron that well even if i needed to.

I only iron the clothes I wear to work and some blouses or shirts I wear for going out. I do this once in a week only to save energy.

I encountered back then in my work in Taiwan where they don't allow us to use electronic appliances back in our rooms i.e. irons. So we came to adapt that we dont iron our clothes, (even now I'm still used to it). Luckily the type of cloth of my shirts doesn't need ironing. So no need anymore. (ika nga nla e ndi hlata na gusot. hehe..)

I never iron anything, clothes or other. I am out of work, but if I had to go there are plenty of materials you can get that hang dry flat these days - even cotton with modern treatments!

Hi There, One thing that I really do not like to do is iron clothes. I am not very good at it...and it is so boring. I do have to iron my shirts however as I have to be neat in appearance with my type of work. I am lucky however as my girlfriend does it most of the time. cheers,
