doing the ironing?

[MMS]

i don't understand this whole ironing business :rubeyes:

some people do the weeks washing and then iron all the washed clothes and hang them up in a cupboard and then they just get creased again and when they want to wear them they have to iron them again

so why do people do it? :confused:

[scribble]

I don't iron.

I only iron in certain circumstances:

* Really really creasy - hardly ever, but sometimes.

* Eid

* Wedding

Other than that. Nope, I don't iron. In our family everyone does their own ironing.


Just to clarify I don't walk around looking creasy. My clothes don't crease. Just my luck. :)

[GAL-actic]

I don't like ironing and remember what happened when I tried ironing my hijaab while I was wearing it? yes exactly the first time it went okay second/third time I burned my cheek. Oh and the scar is GONE alhamdulillah!:D

[Eemaan]

[~Warda~]

Im with u there sis, bulk ironing never made sense to me.:scratch:
I just iron what im gonna wear on the day. Or in some situations the night before. But thats it. I know someone whos an iron fanatic, she even irons her shower curtain:eek3:

[Ibrahim70]

I ironed my 17 shirts the other weekend................:D

yah it hurt a lot... alhamdulilah it went away

lol u know if i be honest so many times i have contemplated the idea.. but alhamdulilah my sensible side got the better of me and i resisted... i know how much it sucks to put ur hijab off and see a big crease and have 2 take it off and iron all over again:(

[Pippin1376]

I only iron when I need to. If I'm super busy and can't I chuck them into the dryer.

[beamz]

never iron unless i really really need to

i know a girl (sikh) who would iron her..... hair! :eek:

yeah basically she had long weird hair and she told me to straighten it she would place a piece of paper over her hair and iron it

i was like :eek: whaaa? forreal? ... :sub: some people do strange things :0: why not invest in a straightener? she told me that the iron was better which does make sense but how bizarre?

if i ever tried that nutty experiment i would most likely forget the paper :p

:wswrwb:

[Khuram_2k?]

iron's are dangerous so i stay away from them :D

[Astraeus]

I iron my clothes for special events, which I do not attend very often. Other than that, there are a couple of really good sprays which do an excellent job of removing all but the toughest wrinkles from my clothes.

Ameen

But why?

[ummbilal]

why does she iron her hair..its quicker than using straightners or why Allah guide her...shes not Muslim..yet!

[GAL-actic]

oh sorry...I meant why she irons her hair

[.: Anna :.]

I knew people who iron their hair aswell, instead of using straighteners. I wouldnt dare to do that... might accidently burn face n also doesnt seem good for health of ur hair :S but I have to admit, the girls who did that it did come out looking okay! lol

As for bulk ironing, yeah I do.. although I iron the stuff each morning aswell. Lately not doing so much bulk, I stopped using tumble dryer and things crease soo much less so doesnt really need it. But if people use a dryer, you will have to bulk iron because if you leave it until you need the things, then the creases will be difficult to take out by that time

[`asiya]

...say u do two hours of the family ironing per week... thats 104 hours a year .. and say u start ironing at age 15 and live to be say on average 75 years old...thats 6240 hours in a lifetime...which is 260 days of your life ironing... which is equal to approx. a whole 9 months of your life spent ironing day and night non stop ...:nono: so just say no to ironing and buy clothes that dont crease in the wash .. if any are a little creased after being hung out to dry stick them in the tumble dryer with a damp cotton t-shirt for 5 minutes and it comes out crease freeeee :coolsis:

[sis_sarah]

yh i dnt get it either + the fact tht i literally hate ironing
i dash all my clothes somewhere and when i wanna wear something i iron it... like wats the point wastin ure tym doin it twice!?!?!

[Eemaan]

i iron 7 hours per week. makes my mum happy.

[umee]

hate ironing full stop

[bint]

I prefer to do bulk ironin. And I only iron my own clothes. And I take too many out too. I curse myself when Im doing my laundry - and then when I wanna change me clothes Ill do it with no hassle.

And I have delicates to wash. Half of em needs air drying. And so my whole day goes into laundry and ironing mode. It is such an achievement. Then I give it a quick iron the day im gonna wear it again.

[stephenoskie]

I actually do it for a living :embar:

hey sis nothing wrong with that as much as i hate ironing if someone was willing to pay me for it, im there with my board and my steam iron :up:

[Ebony]

Probably because having creased items hanging in the wardrobe looks bad and very untidy.

[MrOnline]

I think i'm addicted to ironing my clothes everyday. I don't know why, but i feel so dirty if i have creased clothes. Ok, i'm not obsessed, but i don't like to look filthy. *Awaits all the comment's which refer to MrOnline as g-a-y [Sigh}*

nah, it's cool, although you should try wearing un-ironed clothes...it's quite liberating :D

Plus, I hate to break this to you but people with permanently well ironed clothes look like nuts (wonder how many people I've offended here :rolleyes:)

Well, a few years ago everything i wore related to football. Football, Football, Football! That Utd shirt i burnt was one of my favourite tops (it was my first ever football shirt - that made it extra special) so i used to wear it every weekend. Alhamdulillah i am more civil in the way i dress now, football shirts are a thing of the past.:-)

Spoken just like a person who doesn't iron :nono:

I've got clothes that hasn't been worn for months and yet it's not creased, even the clothes that gets folded don't have 'noticeable' creases.

My clothes gets ironed one only, there's no need for it to be ironed a second time.

Well, when you put your clothes in the washing machine. The result is that your clothes come out clean, not to forget creased. ;)

If you hate ironing, buy a Toby. It does the same trick than an iron by steaming.

Ironing is a good wifely skill. No wonder you british gyals are sitting twiddling yr thumbs - learn how to use an iron (and I aint talking abt lil mo's killer method)

[bint]

Its a good manly skill too no joke. You only see men doin the pressing in factories. (I used to pop into one before)

[Medievalist]

Yeh thats as a job and because women cant do a proper job properly. :outta:

[bint]

geez there is still no winning you is there?

Oh well men are better at ironing, they should do the ironing :D Alhamdulillah.

[Medievalist]

I refer you back to my first post in this thread viz. it being a good wifely skill - hint hint :D:D

[bint]

make your mind up!!
Men are better at it or its a good wifely skill?

Ah well doesn't matter, we end up doing it anyways :|
