Is there an additive on the market (UK please) that makes for little or easier ironing?

The only solution i know of is getting a lady to pick it up and return it to me within 24 hours! Effortless!

You can buy some pretty good iron-less shirts, the better quality ones are more expensive but definitely worth it - I buy them for my boyfriend as he is incapable of ironing anything and Im certainly not doing it for him. The other option is a clothes steamer (again pretty expensive, but an ironing free lifetime) - you slip the shirt over it, press a button, it's blasted with steam (and dances ghostlike for a second as the shirt fills with hot air) and then you have a perfectly crease free shirt! Brilliant.

You could try putting your clothes in a laundry bag (mesh like bag usually used for washing delicates) before putting it in the washing machine. It will reduce the wrinkles and creases caused by the spinning. Hang up the dry straight after the wash so that your clothes dry out straight, allowing for no or little ironing.
Give it a try!

Make sure you use a fabric softner in the wash and tumble dry on a low heat,you should then have minimal or no ironing,I always do this and my iron rarely sees the light of day.

You can get easy iron or non iron shirts these days.
wash them, then take them out and put them on a hanger straight away to dry.
I must admit though, I still tend to iron all the shirts, even if they are non iron.

I always try and make sure that i empty the washer as soon as it finishes and fold the t-shirts then tumble dry them folded and take them out immediately when it finishes. then you can just wipe and shake out the creases and fold or hang until you want to wear it. i do that with all my hubby's shirts and he hasn't noticed i don't iron yet!

Other than that take your ironing down to the dry-cleaners and most places do offers on shirts etc!

Am I the only guy that does iron here?
I have heard that hanging clothes on the clothesline on coathangers will reduce the amount of items, as does using indoor clotheslines while showering

Two options really -
1) Fold them up (neatly if you want neat creases) and find a heat resistant flat surface to pile them up on.
Then put the board on a pan and put the pan on heat (no water in the pan) and the heat will decrease your shirts for you (believe me, it does work)
2) Shake them out throughout the drying process.
Hope I helped.

Marks and Spencers (and many others) sells iron-free shirts... but to be honest, they still require some *light* ironing after washing.
Maybe you uncrease the shirt while its still damp...it helps. just don't expect to tumble dry your shirts and not needing to iron :P
