Ironing What Do You Do First?

[megaflyer]

I actually enjoy it - good film or music in and I can iron for hours .

As above. My Wife has tons of nature programs recorded and is happy as Larry in the kitchen ironing.
I think she has seen every big cat documentary ever made

Yes me too! I download box sets... no real order just shirts last and everyone has their own pile.

I don’t iron anything - just hang it up when it comes off the line. DH wears polo tops to work and I will iron him a shirt if we go out (which is rare)

I actually quite enjoy ironing, I would much rather iron than cook.

My husband will only wear his work trousers once, I don't wash them just steam them and re iron them. I like to make sure he has sharp creases down the middle, can't have him going to work untidy. Some of his work shirts can take ages to iron, but they are definitely easier now than they were years ago, I try to only buy the easy iron ones.

I like to iron the more difficult stuff first and leave the pyjamas, t'shirts and towels until last.

I do the hardest stuff first while I still have the energy.

I sort the clothes out and start with things that need the lowest temperature first up to those that need the highest after accidentaly ironing a few things at the wrong temp and ruining them! I don't iron towels or underwear and try and iron twice a week to avoid having a huge pile.

I don't iron either. Not sure we even have an iron.

We don’t iron either, unless we are going away on holiday, but the other half does that!

Handkerchiefs, followed by tee shirts and then work shirts. Shorts and trousers are always last. I love ironing it’s very therapeutic, but there again I never have mountains to do as the Mrs won’t let me iron her stuff.
