Do you just iron that shirt and pants every day before you put them on? Do you do it once a week? Or, maybe not at all?

I do mine and my children's every morning, I am the worlds worst ironer any way so I could not be doing with standing there for hours doing a pile. I really do not know how people consider doing other people's to earn some money, I really think I would never get paid any way I really am bad, lol.

I iron my clothes once in two weeks..! Its just that I don't like ironing my clothes..! Its really time taking and boring. AS I wear skirts some times I even skip ironing my skirts too. No unironed skirts never look good but I am just bound of my laziness..!! SO if there is choice between skirt OR un ironed skirt then always go for NO skirt at all..! I like jeans..as it mostly doesn't need any ironing ...(wink). a better option. :)

I hate ironing and only do it if I absolutely have to! I've found if I hang my clothes up as soon as I take them out of the dryer then they're ok - they don't crease much, if at all. Otherwise I tend to iron things just before I put them on. The idea of standing for ages doing a pile of ironing just gives me the horrors!

I iron once a week. I hate ironing, but I like my jeans starch. I don't think my clothes look as nice when I don't iron them.

I don't iron at all, I hate ironing! All I do is when the dryer stops and the clothes are still warm, I just hang up the the clothes right away so they don't have a chance to get wrinkles and need to be ironed. PurpleTeddyBear.

I try to keep my best clothes hanging up in the closet, because in reality I hate to iron my clothes. Now if my clothes really need to be iron I do so. But I hate ironing my clothes.

Usually we go for weekly ironing of dresses on Sunday. My son’s school uniforms, my hubby’s formal wear and my office wear. We send the entire pile to the man doing the iron and it comes back crisp and warm (what a nice feeling). But other than that, if something is needed at a particular moment, I iron it at home myself.

I iron my clothes after they were washed. I never iron my socks and pants. I don't wear clothes that are not ironed.

I HATE to iron. I usually dont even bother. My husband has some shirts that really look better if they are ironed. I occasionally iron them but it never seems to last. I usually just let them dry in the dryer and most of the wrinkles go away. He wears jeans and I refuse to iron those. I don't buy or wear anything for myself that I would have to iron.

Actually I don't iron my clothes at all or my hubby's shirts. Unless there a wrinkle on it I will iron it.

I never iron our everyday wear. My husband wears denim to work and schleps around in jeans and t-shirt the rest of the time and I wear jogging suits except when we go somewhere. I iron our dress pants, suits and dresses on a need-to-wear basis or have them dry cleaned and pressed. When I was working outside the home, I had to iron everyday or I'd look a mess otherwise.

I always iron my clothes as in all my clothes. It's important for me to be neat and more presentable whatever the occasion is. But i do this once a week to save electricity and at the same time it will not pressure me if i have unexpected interview or party to attend, i can able to choice the best dress for that occasion or interview.

I don't iron my clothes at all. I probably should, but I don't.

I always try not to buy clothes that need ironing. For me ironing is a chore that consumes much time and electricity. Most the time I wear t shirt, shorts or jeans. I only iron the clothes which I am going to put on. This is normally done before going to work or attending any formal social functions.

I hardly ever iron clothes. I'm careful to hang them properly when I launder them and I take them off and hang them as soon as I'm finsihed wearing them. I'm talking about good clothes that I wear out or wear to go shopping. Everyday stuff is trackies and stuff that does not get ironed. I also fold my clothes including everyday stuff, straight off the line so they look neat.

How often do I what? I think you will have to clarify what you are talking about. I am afraid that this is terminology I don't understand. Are you implying my clothing is anemic? Should I give them vitamins? Do these questions answer your question?

Out of all house work I hate to iron the clothes the most. 99% of my clothes dont need ironing (thank god) I used to do my husbands shirts and pants but he used to stand over me and corect everything from the way I was holding the iron to the direction in which I iron so after 2 years of that I just told him to shut up or do it him self, he chose to do it him self. So now I only iron once in a while and then I get everything that I need to iron (mostly my son's things but they are small and dont take too much time to do it).

I never ever iron. I use my dryer for wrinkles. If it is something dressy that really needs ironing I will hand it over to my husband. He wields the iron in thr family. I am terrible at it!
