oh... it may be summat good? iv not tried it but wats wrong with filling a bottle of water from the tap n pouring it into the iron, which produces the steam tiself?

[Mr_Jailer]

Thats too much for the likes of Ebony to do...

I wonder how ebony makes tea? :scratch:

[Unique Muslimah]

We've got one,they're really good..Take a little longer to heat up,but the ironing is ( a ) alot funner:p and ( b ) clothes come out alot more crisp ( c ) it takes way less time to iron stuff

[`asiya]

forget ironing its a complete waste of time if u take your laundry off the washing line when the clothes are still a little damp and tumble dry them on a low heat, then hang them up straight away and hey presto no creases ( can even buy non iron shirts now gents)

[Te'oma]

:embar: I swore off of ever wearing clothes that needed an iron after I left the army :D

Tea? If it comes out the machine - alls fine and dandy :hidban: Can't be messing about with soggy teabags and all that

:meow:

[Mr_Jailer]

I got a chance to try out my sis' steam generator, they are cool, you only iron one side n it all gets ironed :up:. Cuts ironin' time drastically :D

Whats the difference between this on:

erm I dunno- we have a Tefal one....it cost around something in the 2hundreds...worth every penny.

[Mr_Jailer]

don't u find the steam gets up ur nose - actually it'd be good for a facial :) lol

I'll buy a cheaper one for my sisters to use. My guess its gonna get broken in 'bout 6 months, n the one i'm gettin' will have a 3 year guarantee.

happy eid for my sisters :D

aaw, thats really sweet! arent you a nice brother....:) but to be really nice... buy the tefal one!

erm...why dont you do your ironing yourself?
..actually....come to think of it you probably cant iron properly..:p

I only do the ironing for my brother..because he cant iron properly and if he goes out with creasy clothes...its kinda my embarrassment. i cant stand when people faff about when trying to do something..


what type of Vacuum cleaner you got?

[Mr_Jailer]

Irons n the like break quickly in my home. To buy a really expensive one would be naive... n u only get 1 year warranty.

I can iron all my clothes, includin' shirts, but sometimes I can't be bothered, so I do a rough iron :)

My sisters won't know the difference between a £200 one and a £30 one... so tuff. I used my big sis steam generator to see how it worked. She folded a salwar, n ironed one-side in 20 secs, all creases got moved :up:.

Fantastic to iron salwar kameez in seconds :D

Cotton is really hard to iron :torture:. Spend lot of time fluffin' around with that... thats why i try n avoid wearin' shirts, 'cos they harder to iron.

We have a 1600 watt Morphy Richards ecovac. Why?

And most often who irons these shirts and trousers you speak of?:rolleyes:

Good on you brother :up: Thats the way:D

[Mr_Jailer]

Sisters can'r iron mens shirts... n they don't realise that there is meant to be a crease line at the front of the trousers, n not ironed flat.

[Ezra]

Good way..I mean reason for you to iron them yourselves then, aye? :D

[Ezra]

Thats explains why most men have trousers without crease lines :rolleyes:

[Mr_Jailer]

Good way..I mean reason for you to iron them yourselves then, aye? :D
I'd much prefer to iron them myself :up: At least i know what I'm doin'; n i won't do a shoddy job knowin' full well i as to wear it.

[Mr_Jailer]

Thats explains why most men have trousers without crease lines :rolleyes:

Or two or three crease lines :rotfl:

[jabran]

I try and do my own ironing so i don't have to wake my mum in da mornind at like 7:30(iron is in her room) I get up all proud of my ironing only to be told to take it off and have my mum redo it lol.
Sometimes i iron them and go downstairs lol only to be laughed at and told to take it back upstairs and wait for my sister to do it. I do try...honest.

If u can afford to, buy ur sis an steam generator... it'll cut their ironin' time n they'll appreciate it :up:

[jabran]

They got a built in steam iron, not too clued up on irons but it gives out steam or are these totally different?

[Mr_Jailer]

Jeah, they different... they chuck out much more steam takes teh creases out straight away.

My sis showed me a demo... she got a salawar, folded it in half, ironed one side - n thats it, all sides got ironed from ironin' one side. :up:

[Eemaan]

netto warrior :D

I like the 'specials'. what u think of the steam gen?

Sounds much better then the normal ones then. Not that expensive as well.

[Eemaan]

:S vell thing is cos i iron alot i envisage that cheapo thing breaking down quick shwick, i might try argos or john lewis, bit more respectable :D

[Mr_Jailer]

They are expensive... in my household irons don't have a life span longer than 8 - 9 months, so i'm gettin' the cheaper £40 one from netto.

[jabran]

same i think the last one my mum bought was just a few months ago must have paid 40 odd quid for the normal ones.

[Mr_Jailer]

:S vell thing is cos i iron alot i envisage that cheapo thing breaking down quick shwick, i might try argos or john lewis, bit more respectable :D

U might wanna consider gettin' cover if you're spendin' £100 +...

(i've dropped the iron a few times :$)

[Eemaan]

dont need cover never buy cover :smack:

i iron on the floor, cant be doing with those standy uppy things :torture:

[jabran]

dont need cover never buy cover :smack:

i iron on the floor, cant be doing with those standy uppy things :torture:

Thats how we do it too lol, i remember when my little bro brushed against the iron with his lower leg he was jumping up and down it was hilarious. Bought back memories of when i burnt my forearm on it:o .

[Mr_Jailer]

suppose less risk with droppin' it.

[Mr_Jailer]

seems like personal injury cover is needed with ppl ironin' on the floor n leavin' the iron layin' around :rolleyes:

[ibn suleman]

i spent 20 mins tryiing to iron a shirt.....and it just wasnt ironing.....

tip - switch iron on :o

[Ebony]

I cant iron on the floor :S Need an ironing stand.

[Mr_Jailer]

I've used the floor, ironin' board and table top to do my ironin'... even ironed sections of clothes with them on.

[jabran]

i spent 20 mins tryiing to iron a shirt.....and it just wasnt ironing.....

tip - switch iron on :o
