I gave away my ironing board. Never again will I iron a shirt. I no longer care if my clothes are as wrinkled as my face.

(26,009 posts)it is at either. Most of the clothes we have are wrinkle-free, so that helps a little bit. But in reality, we don't really care if they're wrinkled or not.

I'm the weirdo who enjoys ironing but I don't use an ironing board. I put a towel down on my bed so I can sit while I iron. I find it relaxing and feel a sense of accomplishment when I'm done.
Having said that, I'm VERY happy for you!

(28,436 posts)I haven't ironed in 35 years or more.
If they don't come out of the drier ready to wear, then they go off to Goodwill.

(7,414 posts)After a lifetime of not wearing TShirts, all I live in anymore is TShirts! (LOL) The messages on the TShirts are my statements to the world these days. One, in particular I like, says "I used to be People Person... and then People Ruined it."
Good for you! Some things are just not worth the effort anymore!

(1,855 posts)You can even spray while wearing and then smooth wrinkle with your hand. Great for traveling.

(28,506 posts)Dusting is so pointless - 2 hours later, it's back. I have a little sign that hangs on my closet door knob that says, "You may touch the dust, but please don't write in it."
I like the aroma that wafts up from whatever it is I'm ironing. I haven't much need for ironing now that we are both retired, but I don't mind it when the rare need arises.
I do have to put the ironing board away ASAP, or it will quickly become just one more horizontal surface on which to pile "stuff" that I'm too lazy to put away.
I do like my hand-held steamer.
