Hi, my name is Wendy and I don't iron.
Shocking, but true. It's not that I can't iron, I just can't be bothered.
Don't judge me.
That's not to say that my family goes around in wrinkled clothes all the time. I've got a trick, you see.
Get ready for it...
A spray bottle of water.
I know, you're amazed. But really, a light misting of water on your cotton clothes and a bit of a tug on the fabric and the wrinkles will pull right out. A handful of years back, I saw a commercial for a product that some company was touting that did the same thing. I just had to laugh. Why would I go out and by some chemical something-or-other to do a job that I'd been using plain water for for years? Crazy, huh? Anyway, give it a try. It takes a lot less time than ironing and it's a lot easier. Easy is good.

I don't iron either! I iron when I sew, but that's the only time. I usually just throw whatever is wrinkled in the dryer with a damp washcloth to get the wrinkles out. I'm lazy like that.
I saw you on today's WFMW post and I laughed out loud when I read the title of your post. I *hate* to iron! I'm so glad my husband doesn't wear suits to work (or church) because I'd probably fork out the money to have someone else press his stuff. I actually have friends to love to iron. It's a sickness, I'm sure :)
Oh, @Casey, I *totally* do the dryer-damp-towel thing. Works awesome :)

It IS a sickness! When I moved in to this house, one of my friends saw that my closet had a built in ironing board and she was so jealous! I offered to let her come over and iron anytime...
no ironing here either but it helps my husband doesnt have to wear button down shirts...i probably would if he did BUT i love the spray bottler of water....
i use my flat iron for my hair, with the shirt on to tidy it up..isnt that horrible!! the makers of chi would probably kill me!
I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I don't know HOW to iron. Growing up, my mom always ironed anything we needed. My husband realized I couldn't iron when the first time I had to iron a shirt, I burned the heck out of it. He doesn't ask me anymore. I use the water bottle/throw it in the dryer for a couple of minutes technique and also the Downey Wrinkle Reducer spray too.
