I take it you mean one of those cast iron ones you heated up on a hob and then used a damp teatowel to make the steam.I have learned over the years how to avoid ironing and I only do it unless I really have to and that is the old fashioned way with a steam iron and an ironing board.
I honestly think that sometimes the demonstration model is a souped up version of what you'll get. Let's face it, if they showed the aforementioned fart of steam, and the spitting water they wouldn't sell many. I wouldn't surprise me in the least either if the pies they show on the food demos were doubled filled and made with ultra special attention to detail, such as huge pieces of meat or fruit!Agree with Merryone! I’ve had exactly the same experience. I’ve had hand held ones , and a stand uppy type thing (bought fromQVC donkeys years ago, called a
Con Air, and it really was a con!). All any of them do is give out a little fart of steam, and then proceed to spit water out all over the garment you are trying to steam! I can never understand how this never happens when it’s been demonstrated, how do they do it??
I have a friend who ironed tea-towels. She got this from her mother, who always ironed tea towels in case someone broke their arm and had to use a tea-towel as a sling. Presumably, she worried that the doctor in A&E might turn round and say 'well, we would re-set that arm, but given the state of that tea-towel, you can bloody well just go home'.A friend even ironed knickers!!!
Me neither, well probably about once every 4 months or soI dont iron
My iron & ironing board live in the garage. They come out a couple of times a year for the odd garment. Otherwise my life is ironing-free.I dont iron
