Takes longer, but they are out of sight. I find that the weight of water in them pulls out the creasing so that I can just move them straight into the wardrobe without ironing at all. This seems to work with any fabric that is 50% synthetic or more. I do have to iron cotton rich fabrics, but never sheets, towels, knickers and nightwear -who sees that creasing anyway?
Sounds good Margaret but I think I will need to carry on ironing for a while or somebody won't be to happy about getting this high tech iron for me. To be honest I'm okay once I get into it, just takes me quite a while to motivate myself.
