Lazy special:our alternatives to ironing

Manual laziness

This is a real lazy thing used by millions of men (at least my ex) and women around the world. It consists of mastering the art of spinning and hanging up the laundry. The first thing that the manual lazy knows is that spinning too hard will seriously complicate the schmilblick:her clothes will be twice as wrinkled. She therefore makes sure to always set it to the MINIMUM.

Then, everything is played when she takes the laundry out of the machine, before hanging it on the dryer. Manual laziness follows a quasi-military protocol:

1 – She shakes it very energetically (her cat bristles every time and jumps back 3 times). It already removes a lot of wrinkles and restores human form to the piece of wet fabric.

2 – She lays it flat on her sofa / bed / table and mimes ironing with her hand:it smoothes out really well.

3 – She carefully lays it all out with intelligence. For example, she hangs her tops on hangers so that they take a good shape. In addition, as soon as it's dry, all you have to do is hang.

The high-tech lazy

The high-tech lazy one day walked into a store and saw the saleswoman do something crazy on a T-shirt. With a kind of miraculous steam engine that was not an iron, she smoothed out the entire collection of the store. Neither one nor two:"Madam, what is THAT, is it great? »

In fact, it was simply a clothes steamer, a machine that eliminates ALL wrinkles in a single gesture. No need for an iron, just take the steam nozzle and pass it over the wrinkled garment. It's limit playful, it's fast, and no need for an ironing board because there is a gantry directly on the steamer (video below). In addition to ironing all materials including silk or muslin, it cleanses and destroys bacteria. So you can even use it on your sofa, coatsetc. FYI, it's the accessory you find in all backstage fashion shows.

There are all prices and different powers. Note, the French brand SteamOne, which partly supplies ready-to-wear and hotel professionals, is offering a 40 euro reduction on some of its models for Mother's Day.

The lazy girl who won't move a finger

This species is downright willing to think about ironing BEFORE buying clothes.

His method? Buy fabrics that are already creased, like anything that is creased. Or fabrics in Tergal or Dacron, which are reputed to be wrinkle-free. Otherwise, for the shirts of her boyfriend, who is also lazy, she has understood everything and buys those of the German brand Olympe, specially designed to NEVER have to be ironed and guaranteed wrinkle-free.
