If push comes to shove, I sprinkle some water on my clothes and run them in the dryer for a few minutes. The wrinkles are gone.

Unfortunately the kids school uniform needs ironing, and my t-shirts are always way more creased when they dry on the washing line outside than when they've been in the drier.

I have an iron but no ironing board so I used to do it on my desks when trousers were really too wrinkled, but it's been over a year since my desk has had enough room for it, I just don't know where to put the stuff and don't have time for that.

Not a millenial but the only time i get an iron out is to declump the pocket flaps on my flannel shirts

I’m pretty sure ‘Declump pocket flaps’ is in section 1 of the Apollo Launch Configuration checklist, right before Lint Valve Override.

I think what this meme misses is, largely, clothes in the west are now designed to look as if they have been ironed if hung up properly to dry

This is absolutely not a pet peeve of mine that we didn't just stop ironing due to the lack of social convention (brought on by less time in working people's lives and less domestic labour done in the home by women) but by new technology in the area of clothing

I own an iron because after washing fabric, it gets wrinkles.

Do you know how much a pain in the ass it is to sew wrinkled fabric? Flat and smooth is the easiest way to do that.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

Sewing is the legit reason for irons.

A steamer, Iron and that wrinkle spray stays close. "We", nope.
