My favorite part of the modern society is our collective decision to stop ironing clothes.

@mayaisloading After many many years of never ironing clothes, I did recently buy a steamer which does a similar job but without the ironing board...

And it makes me quite happy to see the results of a steamed t-shirt or pair of pants.

@matt @mayaisloading What kind is your steamer? I had a bigger one I didn’t like.

@skry I got one of these Tefal Pop steamers. It's not expensive and works for me. The water tank is fixed to the handle and only does maybe 1-2 garments before its empty. So, perfect for doing your outfit before you put it on, but not great if you have a lot to do. https://youtu.be/tLlHhEpU9hw

@matt does it work really ?@mayaisloading

@lau @mayaisloading Well, yes. It’s science. The hot steamy moisture makes the creases fall away. Is it more effective than an iron? Probably not. Does it take up less space than an iron and ironing board? Yes. Are there better steamers out there? Probably.

@lau @mayaisloading But also, as the original post points out, nobody really cares if your clothes are crease free or not anymore.

I feel people used to comment on it and so there was a social pressure to iron your things. But now, everyone accepts you as your creasy non-ironed self.
