How do you all iron your sheets.I usually fold them in four and then iron them but there are still quite a lot of creases in them.Does anyone have any secret tip to share please?;)

Yep. Put the iron back in the cupboard and go have a nice soak in the tub with a glass of wine.

It might sound a bit strange but I always use a wash with a slow spin, take everything out afterwards, fold it and put it back in for a fast spin.
Saves me ironing most things except for shirts and fussy stuff like that, fortunately there aren't too many of those in this house. But sheets, jeans and t-shirts are NEVER ironed here. Smashing.
Pass the wine please...

no, i dont iron sheets either, although i do find ironing theraputic!!! I know, call me SAD!!
but if do really want to iron then, with it folded in four, then best iron it semi damp, but then i cant guarantee that the inside will be dry.0 -
here you go all drinks on me
don't exaggerate though as this will happen
p.s. I iron everything except underware and dog's bedding:eek:

Buy fitted sheets - once they're stretched over bed - don't notice the creases! I do like freshly ironed quilt covers/pillowcases though!!!20p Saver Club #33 60p/£100

Take out of washer, fold and then tumble dry. I only iron bedding if it is extremely creased and then it is folded and ironed that way.The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T0
