I usually have 10 shirts than need to be laundered and ironed per month. I could wash them, but I don't want or know how to iron them. Dry cleaners charge about 2.50 to clean and press. I would like to pay about half of that. Do you know of anyone who takes in and irons? Thanks Bill

I wash all of our iron able laundry on low in cold water
I put in dryer on ultra low
Set the wrinkle release button
I take them out of dryer immediately with no need to iron

Anyone to help a poor old guy do his wash?????????????

$2.50 sounds like a deal to me. I buy my husband shirts from LLBean that do not require any ironing. You put them in the dryer for about 2 minutes hang and smooth and they are good to go.

Yes but he already has 10 good shirts that he probably paid a lot for. Can't anybody help him out?

How can you help him out? Who does the rest of his laundry? I think someone is pulling our leg.

You know if you put one short sleeve shirt inside of another you could probably get them cleaned for half the amount of money, $12.50.

Tom, you ain't right.

My closet has polos, tshirts, and sweatshirts....none of which need ironing.

Guess I need to get a wife. Maybe 2.50 would be simpler. Still would like to pay less than that. Now I'm up to 15 dirty wrinkled shirts, please help. Thanks Bill

How is getting a wife going to get your shirts ironed? Part of the pre-nup?

Poor guy.....guess you weren't in the military or you would have had to learn how to press your shirts. Expertly, might I add.

step by step:
1. iron the back of the shirt
2. iron the back yoke of the shirt ( the shoulder area in the back)
3. iron the right side of the front of the shirt paying special attention to pocket and
placket ( that's the area along the front where the button holes are)
4. iron the left side of the front of the shirt
5. iron each sleeve, fold the sleeve along the seam line from under arm to cuff, then press from shoulder to cuff, adding a crease
6. iron cuffs
7. iron collar

Seriously not that hard......

No iron shirts are much better, but you could press those shirts that need ironing while watching football, golf, bowling, basketball or the news.

My feeling is that everyone (man or woman) needs to know how to take care of their clothing. If you don't iron, don't buy shirts that need ironing.

I don't iron anymore. It's too easy to buy wrinkle-free fabrics now. That is my first requirement when purchasing any clothing.

Bonny, thanks for the easy to follow steps.
My ex bought most of these shirts, she liked to iron. I did not mention this to my attorney, now I wish I had. Still, I don't feel like ironing. I know how to wash and dry, and how to hang them on hangers, as some of my shirts are perm press. I will just hope that someone reads this and takes mercy on me. Thanks Bill
