1. People still iron?

2. If it doesn’t need to be pressed and crisp, I stick with steaming it on a hanger. If I only have a few minutes, spritz it with water and throw it in the dryer.

   Also, a good set of collar stays

3. I just bring mine in the bathroom and hang it up while I shower.

4. I keep telling myself I’ll get one of those steamer things, but I never get around to it. It seems like easy mode for those of us what hate ironing.

5. Iron for edges and steamer for the rest Steamers can quickly and painlessly get wrinkles out of shirts.

6. Just a regular ironing board and steam iron. In all honesty I haven’t ironed in 20 years unless I have to, but I ironed enough before I could afford to have them sent out that no shirt is a challenge.

7. I have steaming iron. Before that I used a spray bottle.

8. A good steaming iron makes all the difference. I iron all of my dress shirts, 5-6/week. With a full sized ironing board and a good iron, it really only takes 15 min per week to iron all of my shirts I want for the week.

9. On the very rare occasions that I need to iron something, I just use a regular steam iron and ironing board. I wasn’t aware there were “Ironing Accessories”.

10. I recently opted for a handheld steamer. For the most part, it is easier than using an iron and is portable and effective.

11. Oh man, I used to iron my shirt and pants everyday before school when I was a kid. A good steaming iron is all you need.

12. An ironing board and a good old iron (no steam) works well, especially if the shirts come fresh out of the laundromat.

    Most shirts are no-iron nowadays, just hang them on a hanger to dry, with most top button closed.

13. I microwave a sandwich then use it as an iron.

14. A spray bottle, I find it mich better than the one in the iron.

15. Take it out of the washer, give it a real good shake. Hang it up to dry.

16. Iron

    Board

    ​

    I’ve survived my entire adult life with just those two items for all my ironing needs.

17. I avoid any situation in which I’d need an ironed shirt.

18. Starch. Also, a spray bottle.

19. I honestly don’t use my iron anymore, I have one of those clothing steamers (and it was pretty cheap as well)

    Anything that I used to iron, I’d use the steamer for. And if it’s anything that can’t be done on my own with the steamer, I’d bite the bullet and take it to the cleaners and have it professionally done

20. This made me realize that I legit *have no* “ironing game”. Maybe I should? 🤔

21. I own a large ironing board and a good steam iron. Sometimes I use Downey wrinkle release. Works well for ironing shirts.

22. I use an Iron and Ironing board. Keep it simple.
