TO IRON OR NOT TO IRON.....

Ever go to the closet to get just what you want to wear

and then… what???….the article has been jammed in there and

it is so wrinkly it looks terrrible! You reallly want to wear

it but you think.. well I could wear something else.. do I really

have time to drag out the ironing board and iron??

Sounds like a TV commercial doesn’t it? Well today

I saw this commercial for a clothing steamer. One that

is portable and you steam clothes with it instead of

ironing . Now If I wore dress clothes or a suit of clothes

or uniform it is supposed to help me SAVE 100′s of

dollars!  For the average JANE OR JOE.. would they benefit

though?

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU IRONED SOMETHING

TO WEAR IT SOMEPLACE???

Reason I ask is…. Most articles of clothing now-days

are wash and wear or drip dry and no need to do anything

at all. I used to iron on one day of the week at night

while I was watching TV.. all the clothes were pressed

and some even if they didn’t need to be were given a

quick once over. Sounds kinda like MARTHA huh?

Anyway.. I gave it up.mainly because I had no place to

keep the ironing board up, so I would not have to take it

up and down all the time. Ours is at least 50 years old.

A big heavy wooden one, with heavy steel legs on it.

Mom said she got it brand new and it’s the only one she has ever

had. Very sturdy and very heavy. We stopped using it and

use the kitchen table with a towel and a sheet over it when need

be. So much faster you know.. Then we started buying  clothes that

were ”easy care” wash and dry.. good to go type clothes.

The art of ironing is kind of a thing of the past I guess..some

do and some don’t..I think I would do it more if it was more

convenient for me, and not such a HOT chore.. In the summer

with the humidity.. don’t even go there!  

It was something I thought of today when I dragged out two

blouses to wear and both of them were a mess.   TIME

TO CLEAN OUT THE CLOSET!!
