Well, I *can* iron. :-) Mom taught me well before I was shipped off to
college, and those were the "preppie" days when button-down oxford and
madras plaid shirts were popular, along with well pressed khakies or
chinos. After I started working, things that required pressing or ironing
went to the dry cleaner/laundry. Working here in Phoenix now is so laid
back and casual, it's usually only the "top brass" or professionals like
attorneys, brokers, etc., that you ever see in a suit, dress shirt, and
tie. At the company I work for, most folks except for the execs wear
slacks or jeans that don't need pressing and knit type shirts like polo
shirts and other pullovers. So, no, I rarely wear much of anything that
needs ironing. I do own dress shirts, but almost never have a reason to
wear them. Those get sent to the laundry. *But*, I'm an expert at doing
laundry and everything is always spotless, and the whites would blind you.
:-) The only things I usually iron are formal tablecloths and napkins.
There's no alternative on things like that.
My reasoning with the dishwasher is that it does a far better washing and
sanitizing job on almost everything than can be done by hand. It's also
uses water more efficiently than filling the sinks with soapy water and
running water for rinsing. Besides, why spend the time?
