How many people here still Iron Clothes.
I haven't done so since the 1990,s
A more casual dress approach has meant I don't need to have creases on trousers or shirts all neat and pressed either
My neighbour even irons his socks and pants
So do you still iron clothes?

It's great that you find it relaxing.
After my army days came to an end I did it for a while and then one day I couldn't be bothered and never did bother with it again

It's enjoyable especially if the clothes have a fabric soften with a cooling smell it makes the whole experience pleasant

I do since I love khaki and linen clothes. Also some pure cotton clothes need ironing

We still iron clothes occasionally—mainly our clothes for going out, especially those that get wrinkled easily. Other than that, we don’t really iron much.

That's good.
At least you don't stand over an ironing board for years of your life like I used to do especially when I was in the Army.

@Ineeddentures Ironing cloths is boring. I've been wearing casual cloths since my college days.

I haven't in a while. My husband has some shirts that would better with the buttons/placket and collar ironed, but I do not do it. Maybe I should. My clothes are mostly knit and stretchy.

I haven't used my iron in decades. Fortunately my clothes tumble dry and aren't wrinkled.
