Ok. I gotta ask. Do you iron your sheets?

No I don't iron sheets...or anything..... but I know people who do this because they enjoy ironing and there are some people out there with compulsive disorders that just have a need to do that.

OMG, Debbie, so funny you should ask this. When I was in college during the first month my roommate got out the iron and started ironing her sheets. I couldn't conceal my amazement. I had never seen such a thing. Of course I had to give her a hard time about it because it didn't make sense since you just sleep on them. Anyway, she still does it till this day.

What????????That is a problem in this lady that is so crittical of her housekeeper, who I am sure has a long list of things to do.I would send them to the dry cleaning if I was really fixated on that detail of house keeping. If your have the money to have a housekeeper and the time to think so hard on it. Free your mind up and pay a dry cleaners to do it. My aunt who is not rich but comfy sends her uniform and sheets because she like her items clothes sheets almost everything pressed. I just need my sheets cleaned 2-3 times per week fabric softner and from the dryer to the bed. I am a clean freak but thank goodness ironed sheets are not my concern. I like ironing but not enough to make want to do my sheets. Well its ok.LOL!!!!!
 
Of course I iron my sheets! Doesn't everyone?

}(

Sheesh, are you kidding me? I send everything that needs ironing to the dry cleaners!
 
I only iron under extreme threat of death......if I need something ironed I give it to my DH who likes everything nice and neat. I either buy fabrics that don't wrinkle, or use our good ole central Illinois humidity to hang the wrinkles out.
 
Okay, I give up. What does "iron" mean and who does this???

I ironed my sheets right after I redid my whole room in shabby chic. I wanted the whole look! Ummm that lasted about 3 washes. Who wants to spend their time doing that. I also agree about the dryer being an iron. That's what it was made for right?

Years ago, my mother was visiting and asked if she could borrow my iron. I was pregnant with twins at the time and taking iron supplements and thought she meant that she wanted to "borrow" a supplement from me! I never iron and the thought that she wanted to borrow an actual iron never occurred to me. :)

God, no. I like my cotton sheets to look "rustic" on the bed; ironing them would take that look away. (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!}( )

If something in my laundry requires ironing, I get it drycleaned (and I do that rarely.)
 
Carola - my long lost sister!!! Yes, I definitely iron my pillow cases and top sheets! Get this: before and for a short time after my husband and I were married, he sent his sheets to the cleaners for washing and pressing! We're Southerners... and have cotton sheets.;)

My neighbor ironed everything including her husband's boxer shorts. But what is an iron? :) Dave purchased high count cotton sheets and asked about ironing them. I looked like this: }( Yeah right. I am doing good just to get the clothes out of the dryer before they wrinkle! Most clothes I hang up wet so they will not shrink.
 
Iron sheets? WOW. I know my stepmother used to iron pillowcases, but never sheets that I recall.

I iron neither, but I use flannel sheets year-round. (Even if I didn't, I wouldn't iron.)

In fact, I would be hard pressed to find my iron (I have one, but I don't use it).

I take my clothes out of the drier ASAP, and have a lot of Citiknits clothes for travelling, and they are no-iron. I also don't wear suits or blouses per se, but mostly knits.

Just think of how much energy one can save or waste depending on if they iron or not. (And ironing sheets is a big waste of energy, IMO. May be just a little bit at a time, but it still adds up).

I used to have a roommate who would heat up her iron ever single morning, and iron one outfit at a time, that she was wearing for that day. What a waste, I say.
 
> Says she loves the feel
>of getting into a bed with freshly ironed sheets.

I can understand that.
When I was growing up, we had big radiators in our house, and while sheets and pj's were drying (we hung things outside in the summer, and in the house in the winter), we'd finish them off by hanging them over the radiators to warm up.
It was heaven getting into a bed with warm P.J.s and warm sheets.
 
LMAO @ Erica's comment! :)

My grandma used to iron the undies. I suppose it would be a nice cosy feeling down there to slip into some warmed up cotton!

i can't remember the last time i ironed anything! my husband is banned from the iron - he said he was in too much of a hurry to get the ironing board out one time so he ironed his shirt ON THE FLOOR and the shirt melted to the carpet! there is a nice iron-shaped mark now :)
