@robb @ana My mother still does. She also ironed my slouchy tops full of holes when my washing machine was broken. I think she enjoys it tho.

TBH it's about the only thing I iron, and it's the closest thing you'll find in our house to a sterile cloth. Learned from my nurse SIL this is really handy in medical emergencies to have on hand.

I trained mum away from ironing many, many things in the 2 months I've been here, so I think I'm balancing things out πŸ˜‚

My mother ironed even my briefs. I love her but sheesh that's just crazy.

@ana @robb My parents had a special β€˜rotary iron’ β€” a big padded rotating drum with a curved hot plate pressing onto it β€” which was used for sheets and similar. 😱 It was actually quite fun to use.
Something like this, though ours was a table-top model.

@betschart @KimSJ @ana @robb well, let me contribute to this glorious thread: when I was a young boy my mother would collect all the newly washed bed linen and table cloths, and wander down the street to some place that was called a "Heißmangel". The quarter's female population would gather around the gargantuan ironing appliances there, and take turns...
