Best way to dry shirts indoors avoiding creases?

kboss2010

Hangers are the best way after a good shake-out of the shirts. Taking them straight out of the washing machine and not leaving them in when the spin has stopped also helps a lot.

I agree with the above. My OH moans that he hates ironing and spent months hinting that would I do them because I'm "better at it" when we moved in together. I ignored him, I'm not a replacement for his mum. I don't need to iron anything for work, I'm in a lab coat most of the day and I buy non-iron clothes because I don't iron anything. I'm not ironing his work shirts just because he can't be bothered to do it! He's living away at the moment for work and he manages doing his own washing and ironing just fine

Hi,

wow, do wimmen not iron nowadays? :eek:

Or cook, probably microwave meals.

I've ironed my own shirts since I was in the Boys Brigade, was about 12 then.

No not this one! Waste of time, if you wash and hang out properly no need.

Cook most of our meals from scratch though.

gosh, :eek: don't think I could live with you (unless you are really gorgeous/beautiful/intelligent/good with money)

I iron my towels, my bedding, nothing nicer than slipping into a fresh bed, oh, bliss.

Sorry to interject, by all means hang them to dry on a hanger, but an office requiring shirt and trousers means smart attire. Unironed shirts are noticable a mile off, and I would argue, do not send out the professional message he will want to be giving out in his new job.

But why? Towels never get creased up when they are washed.

Does that not flatten the pile? I like mine fluffy.

Op has not said she does not want to iron his shirts just advice on how to cut it down I think.

If they are hung on a hanger it will make ironing them much easier.

However there's no way I'm living with someone that particular. so your luck's out. Do you do socks as well? :eek: Life is way too short.

I think women have more options for work attire now, many of which don't need ironing. I wear polycotton fitted t-shirts with lycra in the fabric, chiffon blouses, jeans etc. If I wore a suit I would iron it but if you shake out and hang up jeans they will never need ironing, same goes for synthetic fabrics. I hate shirts, they never fit me as I'm short with wide shoulders. Luckily nowadays even in an office environment there are many smart options for women other than a shirt.

Men are more difficult. Smart attire is invariably suit, shirt and tie. Can't really get away with not ironing these items. Ironing is such a waste of time.

My MIL and my Gran iron EVERYTHING but they spend half their lives ironing. Life's too short and I'm far too busy working to waste my free time doing something so pointless as ironing underwear, socks and towels (BTW why do people iron things with lycra in? It wrecks the stretch!)

If you take things out of the washing machine as soon as the spin is finished and hang them out to dry or put them straight into a tumble dryer, 9 times out of 10 you couldn't tell the difference, especially things like fitted sheets.

I do, however, enjoy cooking. My OH and I fight over who gets to do the cooking lol as we both enjoy it!

You didn't say if you were ' really gorgeous/beautiful/intelligent/good with money)?
