s/o: Ironing the duvet cover

[Anonymous]

I have this beautiful Frette duvet cover - which comes out of the dryer looking like crap. I don't have the time or patience to iron it. DH has done it but he doesn't have time these days either.

Question: if you iron sheets/duvet covers, how do you do it without it being all over the floor. I've tried using chairs/the sofa.

Will a dry cleaner do this? I don't want to pay a ton for it.

Sorry I don't iron my duvet cover. If it's wrinkled who cares, no one sees it but me.

So helpful. Thanks! (BTW, anyone who sees my bed will see my duvet cover. And I care! I like my bed to look nice.)

You have to be kidding. Not only are you ironing the duvet cover but you are constructing scaffolding to keep it from touching the floor? CAn you lay a sheet down under the ironing board?

And the award goes to OP for the most ridiculous post of the week. I can think of a billion better things to do with my time.

Get a good steamer. My new steamer really can take all the wrinkles out of my sheets and duvet. You put the duvet on the bed and then steam it there. So it never touches the floor.

Dry cleaners will press it for you. The people that are mocking you can't afford a Frette duvet cover.

Haha - people who can afford a Frette duvet cover can afford to get it pressed.

I pull my duvet covers still a tiny bit damp and lay on bed before putting the duvet in. Gets a little less wrinkly that way.

I bought my frette duvet at Marshall's! Do not dry it completely then hang to dry or lay it smoothed out over the sofa.

This is way too much work. You are nuts for buying a duvet cover that regularly needs ironed.

WSJ had an article recently about the markup on luxury sheets. I think it was something like $15 in materials, $50 in manufacturing/shipping, and $500 in markups.
