    I have two, one has a smooth sole (bit like a plane) and it smooths the wrinkles out, I use this on sheets to get a smooth finish it doesn't really matter though if one wears pyjamas, if I want the slept in look I use a corrugated iron

    Used to be that crispness wasn't a sign of freshness... It was a signal to wash them. That was long ago and I was young... then I met the good lady.

    If you fold 'em straight out if the drier you don't need to iron!

    Iron
    Fold

    Yer all dunces. From the dryer directly back to the bed. Works for me.

    Cheers,

    Irons are wonderful things. They can steam dings out of wood. They can heat hide glue to unstick it, or heat PVA to attach the fabric to a tambour.

    Do they have another use?

    Why don't you dry your sheets in the Sun on a clothesline, the Sun's energy is free!

    I bought my daughter an iPad for her birthday and my son an iPhone for his.
    They were so happy I decided to by my wife an iRon for hers.
    I may recover in about a weeks time.

    Irons? Folded sheets?

    I've developed my own method which makes both irrelevant:

    1. Take the sheet out of the dryer.
    2. Take everything else out of the dryer and place it on the sheet.
    3. Grasp the 4 corners of the sheet and spin.
    4. Cram the lot into the Cupboard.

    Et voila! At the start of each week I already have that week's supply of clothes, linens etc. in one convenient bundle.

    I have been wondering lately whether I should rotate the bundles in the cupboard on a regular basis though. And should they be stacked and stickered for air-flow?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    How come no one dries their sheets in the sun any more? It is free, emits less green house gasses and is better for the environment not t mention the money one would save.

    I would say that a lot of people work and are not able to take them off the line before they get wet again down here (Southern States) from moisture.
