What do you iron first?

I only buy iron-free shirts and slacks.  Nothing else needs to be ironed.

If I ever iron my bedsheets (I dont... ;)), would I use the large rolling iron in the laundry. Otherwise the only thing I iron is shirts and that only right before use..

Ironing is an insidious and nefarious chore.

You can hang up clothes for several days and they still won't be dry? What kind of humid hell is that, anyway?  :(

Like my fellow Spaniard Alatriste, I pay a Romanian cleaning lady to do things like that.

Thailand is about as humid as Hong Kong, and the few times I've washed my own clothes instead of using the illegal immigrant Burmese to do it for me, they've dried very quickly.

I dont understand how you cant dry your sheets.  I can understand that you dont have the luxury of being able to hang them to dry but doesnt your dryer work properly or are you just overloading your dryer?

The only thing that I ever iron is my work shirts.  A task I do about once every two weeks.  Iron a bunch and I am good to go for another couple weeks.

First of all, you need to understand that Hong Kong is far more humid than Vancouver. 

Second, dryers don't dry the bed sheets to 100%.  This is intentional.  Bed sheets are often made of cotton, which shrinks if it is heated too much.

Suits don't get ironed.  It can damage the structure of the suit (TAILOR POWER! :w00t:) and should be left to professionals.  Shirts should be ironed when they come out of the wash or at least when they're still damp, it's a lot easier and if you don't then I recommend spraying the shirt to dampen them while you iron.  Formal non-suit trousers should be ironed.

Apart from that I iron nothing.

I kept thinking the same thing! :hug:

Clearly the first priority is Germany, then any of its client states that are under-supplied.

If at all possible, I want to avoid ironing Soviet Russia but since the objective is to strengthen the economy, I will iron them aswell if it comes to that.
