I’m gonna be the Debbie downer and mention that no-iron clothes have synthetics in them, the washing of which is a major contributor to the microplastics problem.

All you gotta do it hang the shirts up, guys. That's it. Gravity is nature's iron.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 months ago

But make sure you do so quickly after the dryer is done. Otherwise they'll cool down and the creases will set.

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 8 points 5 months ago

Clearly you've never bought linen :p

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 months ago

Linen is supposed to be wrinkly, that's why it's so cool. It lets the breeze get between you and the fabric. Just hang it up wet, giving a few strategic tugs to smooth it out, especially the collar.

I love that we are arguing about laundry on Lemmy. The thread above this there are so many angry downvotes.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 117 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Lol who said anything about specific garments? We just wear our clothes wrinkled and no one cares. My linen shirts looked wrecked for an hour or so and then the wrinkles fall out, for instance.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Yeah that's linen for you. People don't wear it much anymore sadly so they don't get that they just look wrinkled. I love linen shirts though.

no-iron clothes have synthetics in them

most my clothing is 100% cotton, and I have never ironed once I left my parent's home.

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

If I have to choose between keeping nature around and not having to buy an iron again, is gonna be a tough choice.

[-] Nachorella@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 5 months ago

you can do both if you just choose not to care about wrinkled clothes.

[-] anonymouse2@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Many of us have this choice made for us.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 12 points 5 months ago

True, but tires are way, way worse.

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 22 points 5 months ago

You must look fucking stupid wearing tyres

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

No wrinkles in the shirt though.

[-] guiguinofake@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Don't diss Michelin Man, that's not cool bro

[-] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

No iron clothes is a lie. They say no iron on the label in the store, but they tell you to iron in on the care label.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Hanging them up wet rather than putting them in the dryer will get most wrinkles out, especially if you smooth/stretch the collar, placket and cuffs

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah nah by now ironing I mean I do not iron unless it's a fancy event, regardless of the fabric lol

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Could be formaldehyde as well right?

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 5 months ago

Wool, cotton, etc, all don't need ironing. Just don't over dry and hang them up right away.
