Who else hates ironing their shirts, especially as mine are cotton. But I need them for work, but by the time i get of the tube, they are creased. Any tips?? (I can't get them pressed as the nearest dry cleaner is far and I am lazy on my weekends)

Hand held Tobi steamer. It takes less than a minute to get all the creases out of a shirt and you can do it while your shirt is hung on a clothes hanger.

Steam is the best thing I have found to get rid of wrinkles easily, and without an iron. There are several ways to put steam to your advantage.
1) Buy a handheld steamer, available at Walmart or any other large store
OR
2) Hang your shirt on a hanger, then place in the bathroom when you take a hot shower. Leave fans off and windows closed so steam accumulates. If you're not planning on showering before using the shirt, then you can just run the shower for about five minutes not and hot.
Good Luck On Cleaning!!!!

I really hate ironing so I only ever iron things as I need them, but prob the best tip I've ever had was not to put the shirt on while still warm from ironing (it creases pretty much straight away - wasting all that time you've just spent on it!) hang it on a coat hanger while you finish getting ready & put it on last, when it's cooled down.
Also try spray starch - it's fairly cheap & effective.

I've 3 tips for you, use spray starch and a heat reflective ironing board cover(really cheep), and get a good quality iron. I used to take mine to an ironing service, but now I can do a lot better job for a lot less money!!

hi city boi , i don't own a iron.. the secret is when the dryer cycle is over and while the cloths are still hot remove them from the dryer and put them on hangers or fold them.. if you have forgotten them and they got wrinkled leave them in the dryer and put in a small towel which you wetted down and wrung out well , run for about 40 - 60 minutes on a warm or hot cycle and then put on hangers ..

Use wrinkle release. sold in the laundry isle.. Or hang your shirts on a hanger out of the washer and press them while damp... Or put them in the dryer set a timer and get the shirts out before they wrinkle.... Hire someone to iron them for you.

Ive got no room to store even a fold-up board, all my things look like scrunched up paper bags.

Use the steam function on your iron and also use starch.
