Hello
I don't iron underwear, socks, towels, bedding, certain woollen clothes and my DS footie shirts!!
If I can get away with it I will!! Ironing is my worst chore - I hate it.

the question for me should be: what do you iron? the answer is nothing!
i only iron when i can see that the clothes r creased. i dry my washing hanging up, and it looks pretty straight so i don't bother.0 -

So do I, although I dislike ironing but it needs to be done. I don't know how anyone gets away with hanging it up carefully, my comes off the line quite creased..0 -
I have a few tops I wear to work that need ironing but other than that don't iron anything......0

Underwear, towels (it flattens the pile), items that say 'non iron', bedding except pillowcases.
My OH irons jackets if they look tired, his shirts, some t-shirts and pillowcases - the less the better!An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T:rotfl: :rotfl:

I like ironing I find it relaxing, and I'm afraid I do iron everything.My kids think I'm daft but it makes me happy so why not.There is nothing like the smell of freshly ironed sheets just off the washing line .Smells far better than those plug-in thingys
I also sit down whilst iron and usually have the t.v. on whilst I'm doing it .0 -
Only things I iron are my shirts for work and OH shirts - I tumble dry EVERYTHING (except trousers which get hung over the radiator) and then fold it all nicely when it comes out. A colleague of mine in work irons towels - so does her sister and mum - we did a bit of a poll and found someone else who not only irons towels but also her knickers!!!!!:hello:0

Iron towels, socks, knickers???? Crikey
I use conditioner (or white vinegar) in washing machine. I tumble dry for 5 minutes anything which looks as though it's creased to shake them out and then line dry. I always fold large items immediately from the line and put shirts on clothes hangers until ready for a quick once over with the steam iron.
I normally only iron shirts/blouses/trousers.0
