Like never. Expect for new curtains. Once or twice when my son needed to wear pants (not sweat pants) for a school dance.

I think ironed a dress in the last year or so for a wedding.

I use a steamer occasionally but most of my clothes are knits or non-iron, including work clothes.

I iron tablecloths and napkins about twice a year - when the basket gets full or I need something (usually I do a big iron before Thanksgiving/Christmas).

I use both an iron and steamer. Wrinkled clothes look awful

I own an iron and use it a couple of times per year, when I am sewing (quilts or windows coverings). For clothing, maybe twice in 3 years.

Our iron is kept with the perler beads my kids craft with.

We use it for clothes about twice a year.

I do not iron my clothes, but probably would if I had to work in a professional career.

But all of my current clothes are pretty casual - - I just make sure to lay them out flat or immediately fold them after I take them out of the dryer.

I use my iron more commonly for blocking knitting and crochet than I do for clothing.

I'm 45, dress stylishly, and come from Europe. My mother ironed something nearly every day. I vowed I would never do that. My husband gets the iron out when he needs to add a patch on worn gardening clothing or something. I haven't had to use it in years, and can live with a few wrinkles in my clothes. If it's something that's wrinkle-prone, I hang it up to dry.

We only use cloth napkins so I iron the napkins.

I wash the placemats but they usually fluff out.

It’s becoming a thing of the past. Clothes are more and more casual. Also, no iron shirts are popular.

I don't own an iron. Ironing is man's work and there's no man here.

When I am home, I don't really iron or steam my clothes much, but most of my clothes were wrinkled from being stuffed into the suitcase, so I was taken aback not to see them in the room as a staple, like a blow dryer. I can't recall the last US hotel I stayed in, so I'm unsure if this is a European trend or occurring in most hotels.

Do you still own/use an iron?

Own and use an iron.

I iron all the time. I ironed my sheets (well, the top 18 inches) and pillowcases today.

57 no ironing. Still have the one my mom sent me to college with just in case. No one has to dress for work. DH will send a shirt out before occasions.
