I have just washed the sheets and a friend of the OH was very surprised that I just folded the sheets and jut them away without ironing them.

Iron sheets and towels?

No way.

Fold them up neatly and put them in the lined press. By the time you put them on the bed they're nice and flat anyway.

I summer if I hang them up in the morning they're dry by the afteroon and I put them back on the bed straight off the line. That way they have lovely fresh scent of sunshine and outdoors on them.

No not now and never did. My MIL used to make me feel very inferior because she ironed everything, socks, girls nylon pants, sheets towels. Then one day I realised it was rather silly.

I sometimes iron the pillow cases.

If I take the sheets off the line right away and fold them it is like an iron anyway.

I have been ironing pillowcases lately. I sometimes iron the top (bit that folds back) of one soft cotton sheet that I have, as it gets very badly wrinkled.

To iron a whole sheet, no way.

This brings back a memory of my Nanna ironing my sister new nylon bra and she melted the bra cups. My sister was not impressed.

Years and years ago when I first married, I use to iron pillow cases and fold the sheets in half and iron them.

These days, I dont iron anything.

My auntie years ago, use to iron everything that was washed, including face washers, socks, underwear...everything!

I love fresh crisp cotton sheets dried in the sun.

However, I do iron the pillow cases and doona covers.

I don't even iron my clothes! Why iron things that are just going to get wrinkled anyway?

Here's ya hint for the day.... If it needs ironing throw it in clothes dryer for 10 mins on delicate.

Voila... no wrinkles.

or my sister puts all her ironing in one pile, if after a year its still there then she doesn't need it

and donates it to charity! That's how you get out of ironing

Pillow cases always ironed. I iron most of our clothes, something I have been bought up to do plus being a dressmaker ironing is essential 🙂

I don't own a dryer and don't miss one.

These days I put everything away and iron on a as needed basis. Usually just uniforms.
I used to have this thing called an ironing basket.
My visiting interstate grandmother was the only one who ever got to the bottom of it.

I do not have room for an iron and ironing board.

I haven't used my iron in years. I also use the dryer to iron ... 10 min's on 'airing' and it's done

I iron work shirts and school uniforms. Daughter has started ironing tea towels and pillowcases, not because i like them ironed, but to teach her how to use an iron so she can iron her own school uniforms.
