These days? I don't iron my clothes at all because I had to finally give up on my cheap old iron and retire it. I look sadly in my closet at my wrinkled clothes and think about how I will wear them again when I can afford a new (maybe not so cheap) iron. And some items I just wear and hope that the wrinkles work as a fashion statement.

Last Year:
I put off ironing till I'm done showering in the morning and realize there is absoutely nothing wearable in my closet, leaving me with no choice but to IRON!
Now:
With a baby in the picture, and feeding/playing with him takes a higher priority in the morning, so I iron a week's worth over the weekend.

I iron once every couple of weeks -- since I work in a casual environ. most of what I wear doesn't need to be pressed. BUT I am about to buy my first set of linen sheets and although I suspect I will prefer them rumpled, I may occasionally iron them for a crisp look. This iron would do the trick!!!

I have to iron my clothes every day with a small travel sized iron (its no bigger than my fist)! I have to use plain water rather than starch because its the only thing that I can afford! But what's a poor capitol hill staffer supposed to do? You can't be a public servant and be wrinkled!

I don't iron my clothes at all. (Confession: I never learned how to iron.)

If I have something that needs to be ironed, I ask my husband to do it. Most of his clothes need to be ironded and so he irons his tall stack of shirts whenever we do laundry. But if I won this iron, I might even let him teach me how to iron my own clothes.

For the past 20 years, when we both worked outside the home, every week I iron a weeks worth of clothes, usually pants and tops for both of us. 20 pieces, plus anything extra that we wore on the weekend above jeans and a tshirt.
Since I'm now working from home, I still *lovingly* iron his shirts and pants to have a crisp crease on the sleeve and down the pants; and whatever I might wear that needs it. I do all it on Mondays, usually an hour (used to be two) out of my life that I'll never get back. Can you tell I hate it? But I'm not willing to pay the drycleaning bill even though I could. I set up in front of the tv and watch Judge Alex for an hour, it's not so bad. OH yeah...the margaritas help too. :-)

I used to iron when I didn't feel like washing clothes. A little bit of steam and a splash of Febreeze goes a long way! But my cheapo iron left spots on my favorite black pants and now I am forced to use shower steam only. I also spend a lot more on dry cleaning now.

More than I'd like too! My ironing board is a table with a ironing "mat" of sorts that I end up using at least 4 out of 7 times during the week! I have a good ole black and decker right now, but it's steam power (oh so necessary for those fabulousy hard to flat iron clothes) is lacking...I needs me a steam button!!! And that angular shaped top would be of great help too!

I just started ironing my shirts and pants every single day when I get out of the shower. The hot hot humid DC summer makes anything but cotton or linen feel lousy, and that cotton wants a serious ironing before it hits Capitol Hill (which seems also to be the Capitol of Ironing). So I iron (even my tie) every single day. But all I have is a cast iron frying pan that I heat up with a blow torch. If I could just get a new iron as amazing as the Rowenta I'd have crisp clothes in half the time. (Please!)

I don't need this because I already own a Rowenta - Although it's a less expensive model than this one, it truly is the best iron I've ever owned.

It heats up super-fast for those quick morning jobs on my dress shirts and produces loads of steam from regular tapwater. It has auto-shutoff for those times i forget to unplug the thing, a self-cleaning function and the stainless steel baseplate makes for uber-smooth ironing with no fear of snagging fabrics.

If there's one thing I miss from home when I'm staying in a hotel and need to press a shirt, it's my Rowenta.

I also iron once about every three to four weeks. It takes forever and so I usually wait until all of my work clothes are so wrinkly I can't wait any longer. I watch a movie or two and iron everything.

Everyday the boss is in the office (3 - 4 days per week) I iron a shirt, and usually touch up a pair of slacks. I do all my own laundry, never use a drycleaner except for infrequently worn wool suits. I'm a cotton loving man, and I never mind ironing. But a heavy iron with good steam is a great thing.

I don’t own an iron. I own a steamer. When I went to my best friends wedding a more prepared bridesmaid impressed us all with her steamer. I’ve been steaming ever since. As for an actual iron, no can do. When something can’t be steamed, I take it to the Lower East Side tailor and pay $2 for an iron (or the whole $8 for a wash and iron)
This iron appears to be an iron AND a steamer. It looks like sweet nectar from the gods!

I iron maybe once every two months when I visit my parent's house. They have a nice laundry room where I can spread out and really handle my business. Since I live in a studio apartment and have no room for an ironing board I usually make due with a crappy hand steamer from Duane Reade. It is no replacement for an iron and it makes me sad.

The hiss of the steam, the comfy feeling of a warm, wrinkle-free shirt on a cold morning, the back and forth motion and focus on getting out a particular crease can be quite zen. Truly, I would iron everyday, if I could. This all being said, I haven't in almost 8 months due to my loveable puppy (in his teething stage) deciding to eat through my beloved Black and Decker's cord. Luckily it wasn't plugged in, but still...I did not enjoy coming home to my pup lounging on the couch gnawing on what looked like the longest black licorice ever made while the iron itself was mangled in another room. le sigh...

I should iron when I do laundry which is about every 2 weeks. Luckily my husband does not like my ironing skills so I don't have to do his clothes too (he doesn't like my laundry skills either so we do our clothes separately). Unfortunately my husband thought it would be a great idea to iron his circuit boards (yes I said circuit boards, we are both engineers and there are scary chemicals in my garage for making demo boards) with our only working iron (his from college which was practically brand new when we got married 2 years ago, mine was ruined by my starch-loving ROTC roommate). It would be wonderful to have a new powerful iron that is used just for clothes.

For some reason I used to iron everything (t-shirts, jeans, shorts, all of it) when I was young but now I take advantage of actually hanging my clothes out of the dryer. The only things I'll iron now are dress shirts, slacks or anything that won't naturally flatten on the hanger. I prefer ironing right out of the dryer instead of waiting until the morning when I have nothing else to wear and raising my pre-work stress levels.

Oh, the iron. I iron my daily clothes every morning before I head to school. Unfortunately, the iron is something like 35 years old as it was my mother-in-laws before it was ours. It spits and spits, even when I think all the water is out of it and resort to using a spray bottle. And, last week I accidentally burned a favorite item with the setting on low and just can't bring myself to paying such a high price for a new iron. Help!

I used to iron my clothes all the time when I lived in a house with an actual laundry room. Now, in a tiny apartment with no on-site laundry and no iron, I don't do any. Which is tragically ironic, since having to haul my clothes from the laundromat/a friend's house after drying, all my clothes have been terribly wrinkly lately.

I iron my clothes just about everyday. My job calls for neat looking clothes. Ironing is something most people take for granted. I remember when I worked in D.C. My rommates asked, "can you teach me how to put those lines in dress shirts?" My response, "those lines are called creases and of course I can show you." I take a lot of pride in ironing and this prize would be FANTASTIC, to say the least.

While I do love the truly wrinkly free button down shirts that I have, unfortunately I only have two, and the rest of my button downs seem to love wrinkles. So whenever I need to wear a button down (as opposed to a knit shirt), I pull it out of the closet, frantically iron in my room and run off to work. I also iron frequently when I sew. I have been borrowing my roommate's iron for the past 4 months as my attempt to clean my iron resulted in somehow killing the iron, but she's moving out, so I'm desperate for a good iron!

I don't iron my clothes. I am a firm believer in the hot-from- the -dryer snap, hang and call it a day school of thought.

The exception (and where I would need this iron) is for certain dressier clothes that don't snap so well.

Actually, since I've moved to AZ I haven't used an iron once. It's so maddeningly casual out here! But I'd still like to have a fancy, schmancy one.

I don't iron my clothes very often, but I sew, thus I iron fabric I'm working with all the time. A good press is so key to good sewing and good quilting, and my current iron sucks, so this would be nice.

I iron a few pieces of clothing a week. I pull out my iron much more frequently for sewing/quilting projects than I do for laundry. I used to own a beautiful Rowenta; which is one of those rare items that is just as good as advertised. We had some flooding in our basement and it was ruined. Thanks for a giveaway that reminds me of my old friend.

I never leave my house unless my clothes are ironed. I always ironed the children's clothes before they went to school each day. But unfortunately, my ironing gene was not passed on to my children.

I actually enjoy ironing which is good because my sheets are not permanent press (my choice,) however I think I must have some deeply hidden resentment because I've dropped my now ancient Rowenta several times and although it still works, it's time for a new one. I might add that Rowenta's are amazing. Mine is a reconditioned one that I bought at a job lot and the main reason I need a new one is not because I've dropped it but because I've destroyed the sole plate by using it to iron on wood edgebanding

I iron nearly everyday as well. Even if you use the dryer and fold right away before hanging or stacking, many things just don't look right when you actually want to wear them. Lucky for me, I have been borrowing an iron from my sister who doesn't mind wrinkles (my old iron took a leap from the board a couple of months ago...) Sometimes hers gives me some sketchy water marks though. A new one would be fantastic

[By the way, did anyone else grow up getting their jeans creased? I've dropped that, but I can't stop at least getting wrinkles out on most pairs.]

Left to my own devices, I iron about once or twice a month (mostly when I feel inclined or have time to help iron my husband's button-down shirts and slacks). His preference is for a "just-in-time" ironing of his outfit, done in the morning right before he puts it on, which means he's at the ironing board three or four days a week.

Pick me. Pick me.

Because I cannot bear the thought of having dry cleaning chemicals touch my precious son's body, I iron all of his clothes. At first it was just the dressy clothes but now I even iron his cartoon character t-shirts.

I iron all the time - crisp white cotton sheets having dried outside in the sunshine and then ironed is a great luxury we can do for ourselves.

I have to admit that I iron clothes twice a week. Although most of the clothes I own as well as my husband's and childrens are wrinkle free, I live in the South, where high humidity is a daily occurence. I love the way freshly cleaned ironed clothes smell and it gives me a feeling of accomplishment, even though I know that is kind of old fashioned. Thank you so much for this contest!

My husband and I are both ironing fans. We both like to wear nice clothes for work - and that means serious ironing because we like to keep dry cleaning to a minimum. Occasionally, I'll iron linens and such for hours just because it is relaxing.

I iron daily – After I take a shower I pick out what I want to wear and head over to the AC (during the summer) so I wont get sweaty ironing and so my clothes wont be hot. Its literally the only time I use the AC! Hehehe…Its also the best time in the morning to reflect on my day ahead and prepare myself mentally (gaw, I'm corny but people rely on me being relaxed and "cool" at work).

I never iron anymore, since the stinky gunk got on the bottom of my iron and it started hissing at me all the time. I chose wrinkles over being electrocuted. I just made the mistake of washing my curtains and now they're too wrinkled to hang back up, so I guess I have to buy a new one...unless I win this one, which would be awesome.

Hello! I actually enjoy ironing! I find it relaxing and therapeutic! I iron once a week. I have it down to a system in terms of how I do our family laundry. I usually have about a dozen items at a time to iron, sometimes a few more, and I like to do it all at once instead of piece by piece as I need them. If we have some special occasion come up where I need to iron something specific for it, then I will do so, but prefer to do it all at once. I would love to own this fabulous Rowenta Advancer Iron. It is always nice to use state of the art products on jobs that you do on a regular basis. Thank you for this terrific giveaway!

Growing up I'd spend my weekends at the dry cleaners my parents owned, folding sheets or stretching foam onto chinsy wire hangers (while this may sound like child labor, I assure you all I did it voluntarily and it filled me with a deep sense of pride!). As such, I'd take every care to press my school uniform in the mornings and when I would try to walk out of the house with so much as a single wrinkle on my pleated skirt, my mom would threaten me with a steaming iron until my skirt was on the ironing board. I sadly admit that I no longer own an iron and I can almost see my mom's expression of utmost disappointment when I leave my apartment every morning. Please help me make my mama proud again!

If I didn't do it every week it would be a mountain of ironing in no time at all. Not exactly one of my favorite things to do but since we discovered that polyester has its downsides we have gone back to cottons and linen. Still waiting on someone to create a think tank that will invent a renewable source for a fabric that doesn't yellow with detergent use, won't stain, feels good to the touch and finally...doesn't break down after a washing or two.

Not enough, due to our craptastic iron. Mostly works out ok for our clothes, but I have to just get through it as best I can for sewing & embroidery projects. I would be the most excited about sticking the rowena to my sheets, which are high quality but get crumpled almost to death by our dryer. No matter how quickly I get them out, they're a mess.

I iron clothing when necessary. Also make a few simple quilts for grandkids, table runner, etc. and an iron is such a necessity.

Did iron every day but my daughters cat just chewed thru the wire on the first Rowenta iron I've ever had and just loved.
