    Most of the clothes I've ironed are 90% creased by the time I've got to wherever I'm going that sounded like it needed ironed clothes. :D

    I always make sure my clothes are well pressed.

    There is nothing worse than looking at some gobdaw at work with a crinkled shirt and slobby appearance. It annoys me how it seems to have become the norm for people in the service industry to not bother ironing their clothes.

    There's no incentive for people to maintain standards, really, is there?

    I leave my clothes at the Dry Cleaners to be ironed in bulk if that counts

    Yeah I hate ironing, with a passion. Hate hate hate hate. So, usually on Sundays I iron the bare minimum, mostly just his clothes, but I do it altogether and have it done and then at least I don't have to lose the will to live anymore than once a week

    Don't iron. A quick spin in the dryer means trousers and shirts are nicely wrinkle free anyway.

    Amazing, people's capacity for self delusion.

    Most of my clothes don't need to be ironed. I iron a pile of my husbands t-shirts every two weeks or so. He irons one work shirt every night for the next day. I don't understand that at all.

    All my clothes come out lovely and wrinkle free after a spin in the dryer. Maybe you just have a crap one?

    If by clothes you mean polyester tracksuits, then yes you are right and the other lad is wrong.

    I do it for me mammy the odd time. Used to wreck my ****ing head as a teenager when she'd lob me a pile of ironing including vests, pillowcases, jeans etc. But somewhere along the way for some reason I started finding ironing a bit relaxing! Never bother with it for myself though

    wow, amazed at the amount of non ironers on here.

    Nothing better than climbing into a bed with perfectly ironed sheets and duvet cover.

    The only time a man should be holding an iron is on a golf course.

    Would love one of those magic spin dryers.

    I iron my shirts the night before. Hate it, but would hate the consequences of not doing more.

    Oh God, I'd never iron sheets and duvet covers myself. They go to the cleaners to be ironed.

    Just buy a new shirt if it gets wrinkled, toss the other one away.

    I don't iron unless something I want to wear is seriously creased which is rare. My mother doesn't even own an iron so I guess I wasn't set a very good example! I like the thought of freshly ironed sheets but I just can't be arsed with that.

    My boyfriend irons everything before he wears them. Totally unnecessary. Even he draws the line at work shirts and leaves those in to the dry cleaners to be washed and ironed.

    Not really. A lot of our clothes are poly mix or nylon mix fabrics and non iron. Kids uniforms are perfect coming out of dryer. Neither Mr M or I work in suit and shirt/ formal dress environments so the square ironed shirt is not required. Thank goodness.

    I couldn't give a fiddy whether other people iron their clothes or not, and don't understand how it can rank as an important point in people's lives.

    I only iron stuff that really needs ironing, like some shirts and work trousers. I absolutely hate ironing, so I do as little as possible.. maybe once a month? I'd never iron regular t-shirts or jeans or anything like that.

    Why would you iron sheets and duvet covers, since a few people have brought this up?! I don't think it feels any nicer/fresher than if it's not been ironed? Just dry your stuff outside as much as possible and fold it right away and it won't be creased.

    I do it once every three weeks, and then only my work clothes or shirts. So that entails 15 tops and several pairs of trousers. It's nice seeing the mountain disappear.

    Yep. Having said that, I never bothered with ironed sheets before I met my husband, but he always got them ironed and neither of us are going to do it ourselves so we pay for it to be done.
