The Fastest Way To Iron A Shirt

| Comments (1)

Lynnette... age 4... proud as can be with a new ironing playset on Christmas morning. I learned something about myself this morning...


...and it's wrong on so many levels!


I am perfectly content to get the wrinkles out of my cotton shirt (by holding a blow-dryer on the wrinkly spots WHILE I'm wearing it) rather than take the time to press with an iron.

And we're talking a shirt for WORK here... not just something I threw on to go run errands!


Creative Laziness?
It just seemed easier this morning when I was blow-drying my hair, and I noticed my far-too-wrinkly shirt needed ironing. But who has the time???

So I just moved the blow dryer a few inches lower, and the wrinkles came right out! (...so long as I stretched the shirt at the same time I was applying the heat)

...Laziness, taken to a whole new level?

That, or multi-tasking at its finest.

I love it! This even beats my "ironing" method. I have a big fear of shrinkage from the dryer, so I hang dry lots of clothes. Then I run them through the dryer, then pluck them out and place immediately on the hanger (or fold, or whatever). I very seldom iron anything. I do use that "de-wrinkler" product that works kind of like your dryer method without the dryer - you spray this stuff on the wrinkle then smooth it out and let it dry. It works for light wrinkles.
