Once you tumble-dry something it seems to make some subtle change in the fabric.
For shirts, or things that you would naturally think "that just *has* to be ironed" then you need to avoid spin drying them in the washing machine. Just hang them up somewhere dripping. I guarantee that they will then always look as if they've been freshly ironed. But spin or tumble them just once and forever doomed to iron you will be. Just take a moment to consider the equation of work with this. For the "convenience" of spin and tumble drying you then absolutely must spend your time ironing these clothes. Surely any "convenience" has now been lost ? But spend a much smaller amount of time to hang them wet and allow to dry in the fresh air, and you can pack up the iron. And remember only the most "crinkly" items need to avoid the spin cycle; most items just need to avoid the tumble dryer. Do the hard jobs first.

I went back to ironing them lol yes I probably am a wrinkled mess (and shoeless as well since the dogs ate my shoes). but I confess I do iron my DD clothes . Re: Laundry in a cupboard? 39May 19, 2008 7:42 pm wouldn't the singlets get crinkled in their sleep anyway?
DH always ironed his own shirts when he worked in an office. I never offered to take over. Comes of moving out of home at 18 I guess. I try and wear things that don;t need ironing and only buy special occasion items that need ironing not my work things when i can. hmm we've been in this house since January and the only thing I've ironed was some wax paper with flowers between the sheets just before Mother's day for a craft activity for my students to use.
