Do you iron your clothes? Does your spouse?
How do people do it? And laundry, and buy groceries, and take care of themselves and family, and work?
And have wrinkle-less clothing?
Thank you 🙂
Just buy fabrics that are less likely to wrinkle and use a steamer or a dryer with a steam cycle. (Or just boil a pot of water, then make tea and steam your clothes at the same time.) I don’t understand how people know how to iron without burning their clothes.
I find that when sweaty, iron clothes tend to react with the copper pillowcases. Believe me, sitting on voltaic piles is not comfortable!
My Eved Knani does it.
Iron clothes (other than those pressed professionally)??????
Brings back memories of the days of typewriters and ice boxes and home deliveries by horse drawn wagons (I was a heart-broken toddler when my family moved to a nieghborhood where deliveries came by truck)
Yes, my wife still irons clothes especially shabbos shirts.
I used to have to wear button down shirts every day, so I ironed a few times a week – and I found it relaxing. Now I can wear whatever I want (I work from home), so I have no real need to iron. The FSIL (future son-in-law) will occasionally iron his Shabbat shirt before Shabbat, if it’s wrinkled. MY mother-in-law irons everything, including sheets and pillow cases and even jeans.
My mother always sent the ironing out. She’d do the washing and drying and every week a basket to be ironed would be dropped off at the home of our ironess.
Today, the only things that get ironed are my dress shirts (which I send out), pillow cases (not copper) and table linen.
Our youngest daughter always did that ironing, but now that she is newly married, we’ll have to do it ourselves.I buy non-iron clothes mostly. It’s also not the end of the world if what I’m wearing is slightly wrinkled… I only iron if I’m going to some event or it’s more than a little wrinkled.
All our clothes are non-iron, actually they are made from cotton, polyester, etc. And button down shirts are easy-care/wrinkle-free, they come out good enough from the dryer if I remember to take them out right away. Practically the only time I iron is when my husband needs to wear his kittel, twice a year.
