| if you buy the stretchy kind they don't need ironing, any creases pull out after a bit or if you pref' the cotton type shove 'em in a tumble dryer for 5 min just as they are 99% dry ready to finish drying, or tell guests not to be so bleep fussy (joke!!!!) bye [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| We run a guest house here, so I know where you're coming from. Some good tips already from the other guys but you can also take them off the line before they are fully dry, just vaguely damp, and put them on the mattress, tucking the corners under so they are nice and tight. Then leave making the rest of the bed for a bit while you get the other chores out of the way, which lets them finish drying. Not as neat and crisp as ironing but quite acceptable. | |

| ironing the sheets on the bed sounds a good idea, sorry i can't help as i have'nt ironed anything for 20 years, and no one has ever said i look unironed, if you know what i mean, but i do take out the washing as soon as its done and shake it well and hang on line immediately. | |
