What happened to 'Easy Iron' Fabric Conditioner?

davetrousers

A few years ago you could buy 'Easy Iron' fabric conditioner, that made ironing clothes easier, but also made it so ironing was less neccessary (iyswim). As far as I can tell you can no longer get this.

Is there an OS method for firstly reducing creases in clothes when washing and secondly making ironing easier/quicker?

Thanks very much

I threw out my last iron 2 years ago, that definitely made ironing much faster, cheaper and less stressful :rotfl:

Dry as much as you can outside in a breeze, take the time to hang things flat, put shirts on decent hangers and do up the top button. Yes, there are the odd things that 'need' ironing: my husband's dress shirt goes to my MILs for a press if it's needed.

What daska said ... also using a lower spin speed setting when doing the wash helps minimise creases, as does hanging up/out as soon as possible after the wash cycle ends.

You can still get Comfort Easy Iron, but have found the smell gets rather irritating after a while, my local Tesco and Morrison's both sell it.

It's even available online should u require it

I iron what little I have that needs ironing by doing it when the fabric is still ever so slightly damp. One pass of the iron and it's done.

A fully-loaded washing machine on the high-spin setting is guaranteed to give you lots of creases, especially if you've washed on a high temperature.

I loathe ironing with a passion so I generally wash my laundry in cool or cold water and hang everything up on hangers as soon as the door unlocks. A good breeze outside is a lovely bonus. But if you definitely don't want to iron anything ever, don't buy clothing in 100% cotton or worse, linen. To my mind this is one sacrifice too far. Pure cotton and linen are a joy to wear

I normally wash at 30 degrees with an 800 spin, using 1 tablet and soda crystals. I can't always hang it up immediately as I often put a load on in the morning and get it out after a day at work.

I find hanging things to dry as soon as they have washed and then smoothing and folding to put them away means I dont have to iron much at all.

there's a rinse hold button on my machine, which I use if I want to do the washing and then spin just before opening the door and hanging.
