well i finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a rotary iron, it is reconditioned and guaranteed for 1 year, large expence but so much faster even than a press especially as i am concentrating on self caterings which is mainly sheets, duvets and pillowcases,although i am more than happy to do clothes too and for them i will continue to use my steam generator.

How is your ironing business doing? We have been going since October and we are breaking our revenue for the month each month. It is hard work but word of mouth really does work

Hi woodyperez, ironing is going great, just love my new rotary iron. It is hard work but i love it and even iron all my own bedding now! Glad it has all taken off for you too, i found you on a social media site after looking at your website! And you are right.....word of mouth does work well, i also donate ironing vouchers to various fundraising events. Hope you keep busy
