Might have just been my parents but I remember ironing clothes being so integral to life during childhood but I think I’ve ironed maybe a dozen things as an adult. What happened?

    It does, but not in the sense that it “repairs” them or whatever. There are plenty of natural fibers and styles of clothing that would be a wrinkled mess eventually if they were not ironed.

    You may be use to synthetic fabrics or blends of synthetic and cotton that don’t wrinkle in the same way. And by synthetic, I mean petroleum based fabrics.

      I’m used to 100% cotton or merino wool clothing and I’ve never had a problem with wrinkled shirts before I have to wash them anyway.
