Do you iron things?

Only when travelling.
Or when it's super cold.
Silk and merino wool are the best travelling companions on a motorbike.
I don't like being totally naked in hotel rooms, it's staggering how often housekeeping automatically let themselves in without knocking.
 
i don't think i ever owned silk jammies.

in winter. a tshirt and socks, in weather like we are coming into now - ummmm.. rather like Tasty's choice, plus socks.

Why socks? I had surgery on my ankle and a nerve got entrapped. My ankle running against the sheet as i toss and turn - irritates enough that i wake up. Socks prevent the sheet rubbing directly against the skin.

Oh, back to ironing. I don't iron sheets either. I pull them immediately out of the dryer so I don't have to.

I think ironing sheets should be illegal 😂
 
Ironing socks and undies falls into the, "If it feels good, it must be good" category...not the ironing per se (though if that feels good as well, by all means...), but the donning of, just after ironing.

In my memory, I think it was either my ex Mother-in-law or her mother that explained to me that ironing kills off the bacteria, if there were any...possibly if hanging items outside...

I don't know enough about the surface "contamination", but it might be a habit or requirement passed on from generation to generation...

I do believe she still irons everything...from what I gathered it was also a way to pass time in a "household" activity, once she had retired...possibly she even liked ironing...

Unsure how the ironing front was functioning while she was working...

Well there's a lot of truth in that.
In fact the low washing temps of modern frilly knicks mean that bacterial counts are high in modern cacks!

If it ain't broke (ie you got no sore bits n pieces) carry on!!
 
I do recall that my mom, who wasn’t the best housekeeper in general, did indeed iron quite a bit of stuff, including all our sheets.
