Do you IRON your clothes only when you need to wear it?

Personally, I do not enjoy ironing clothes, but I don't want to wear crumpled clothes either so I don't have any choice but to iron the clothes. I have set Fridays or Saturdays as ironing day. Ironing makes clothes look neat and fresh. The heat also kills some germs in the fabric. I have a maid who does the ironing but when she's not available, I do the ironing myself.

I rarely have to iron anything anymore as I don't work outside the home and mainly here in sweats, and just jeans if I have to run errands. When I was working I always would just iron what I needed, but I got in the habit last year of ironing a few pieces at a time. It was nice to not have to do it every day, and really didn't take up all that much extra time.

Oh yes, I do not like ironing clothes, too, so I only press my clothes when I have to wear them. My mom used to iron my school clothes, though. We don't have a maid, so when I have to go out, I do the ironing.

i have a twin sister and both have part in doing the household chores.in ironing the clothes,we do it every week.it will take an hour and a half to iron our clothes for the whole week.i've got week 1 and week 3 (sched or ironing clothes) and my sis got week 2 and week 4...that's teamwork huh...

our maid are doing the ironing for me, and to the rest of my family, but since am working overseas, nobody is doing it for me now, and i am having a hard time ironing my clothes, so i just resort sometimes of not ironing it at all,.

I do the ironing myself and all other household activities. i like doing them, somehow i think that it's my call. this is the life i wanted to be. beside, it's fun to iron while listening to music. you should try it sometime and won't get bored. but just don't forget to turn your iron off after you finish :P

Oh you are definitely lucky to have a mom who does it for you. Its not that I do my own, no we have these small mobile carts here where the guys would take your washed clothes and iron them neatly for an affordable sum and return them the same day. Usually I plan out my clothes for the coming week on Sundays…my husband’s office clothes, my son’s school uniforms and of course my office clothes too. Sometime I give something extra just in case we have to go somewhere. It’s not very expensive and that’s a big load off the shoulders.

I iron my clothes when I want to wear them, not only because I despise ironing but because they crease up again in the wardrobe. Sometimes I wish I could summon up a maid to do my ironing for me, but alas, finances don't stretch far enough for such unnecessary things! So, I shall go on, ironing and wearing, I guess. Brightest Blessings my friend. x

As a housewife, of course I am the only one who do the ironing at home. I regard ironing as a form of monotonous chore. To make it as a fun and also not time consuming I always try to do my ironing while I am watching tv. I don’t iron my clothes once they are taken out from the dryer. I only iron them when I want to put them on.

I absolutely detest ironing. My mom did it all the time when I was a kid, even to the point of adding the dreaded starch to just about everything. I have adopted the process that my brother in law uses when he needs to get the wrinkles out of his clothes. I take whatever needs to be "perked up" and put it in the dryer along with a damp wash cloth, and I let the dryer run for about ten to fifteen minutes. As soon as it stops I take out the article of clothing, and voila! no more wrinkles. It might be the lazy way of doing it, but it works for me. LOL

Well, I'm the wife, mom, maid, everything in this house. Number one rule, I only iron if it is needed that day. Otherwise, the iron is just used for my fabric (I make quilts). LOL I love ironing fabric, I hate ironing clothes.

yes when i go out then only i iron my clothes.i do not iron my clothes in idle times.In my home my mom irons my clothes.

I wish I had someone else to do my ironing for me - i really do!! But I'm not so lucky. I have to do all my ironing, i used to iron what I needed when I needed it but as time has gone on I find that I just dont have time to do so in the mornings before work. So now I iron EVERYTHING once it has been through the washing machine and is dry. This suits me better as it takes about half an hour maybe twice a week and I find it is much more bearable to do it in frnt of the telly in the eveings. That way we minimise last minute rushing around!! One great piece of advice though is: INVEST IN A DECENT IRON!!! This just makes it that bit easier!!

I hate ironing also, I seem not to have a skill in straightening out wrinkled clothes. I only iron clothes when I will wear them . There are also times that I wear clothes that are not ironed, if I am in a hurry. I worked at night shift and most of the time I wear a jacket, so it is not that noticable. But handkerchiefs should be definitely ironed for me.

I hate ironing and only do it when I need to wear something. My closets are very small and clothes get crinkled up in there, anyway, if I iron before I use it. I am the only one who irons my clothes as I live by myself and I have had people damage my clothes when I take them to the cleaners and have them pressed.

noo. not anymore. except for polo shirts and office wears, but my mom hangs it and dries it naturally/ not using drier so the clothes does not get crumpled much. i hate ironing clothes, i dont like the heat very much. i would usually wear them straight from the closet. hehe

Normally, the unironed clothes that need to be ironed will be left at the ironing board. From there, it will pile up until someone gets fed up enough to look at them. Usually there are only 2 people on the house who "know" how to iron. Go figure. And no, I don't enjoy enjoying. It is extremely time-consuming though I think I am a relatively fast ironer.

Thats a nice thing you asked..For long years i stayed out of home for my study and i used to iron my dress by myself. yes i do iron my clothes only when i need to wear it. but now a days am with my family and my mom used to iron my clothes on weekends. sometimes i love ironing my clothes and sometimes i hate. well depends on the place i move.happy postings..

I iron on a need to basis. Most of the time my dryer takes care of the wrinkles. Lucky me. Other than that the only one who does iron is me. I don't think my husband knows how, i've never seen him do it, and he always asks me to do it for him.

At home, I do the ironing. Mom's clothes, my brother's clothes and my father's clothes also my clothes. I iron our clothes once a week for us to save electricity.
