The French Iron EVERYTHING
I should have known by the number and variety of irons for sale in the stores. It is truly amazing to see the selection that is available….And the quality of the irons! Supurb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dry cleaning and laundry is very expensive here so we aren’t sending Joe’s shirts out. Takes me back to the days that Michele and I used to chat on the phone while we ironed in our early married life. I figured out that there is a setting on the dryer that dries the clothes until they are just damp enough to iron…it helps with the wrinkles some…I can only stand to wash six shirts at a time because that is all I can stand to iron at once. I have wished now and then that I had access to the old ironwright that my mom used before permanent press and before we had a clothes dryer. It would make doing sheets so much easier.
We have had to resort to buying distilled water so as to not clog up the iron with all the minerals in the water here. There is a short shelf at the grocery story devoted to products for ironing…We have also discovered that it is best to line dry the duvet covers (thanks for the suggestion, Val) rather than trying to dry them in the clothes dryer…the wrinkles aren’t so hard to iron out.
