Another option that I have considered recently is just getting a good quality clothes dryer. All of the clothes that are wrinkled can go in there. If you take them out and hang them up as soon as the cycle is finished, they will not be wrinkled. For anything that needs extra care, you can just drop it off at the nearest mosque laundry... This will eliminate the need for a maid to do the ironing! It works for underwear & some bed sheets but not all, our bed sheets from carfour don't need ironing after drying but I take them out hot & fold them immediately, the ones from home centre need ironing after drying, I only use it to dry beddings, towels & underwear, it shrinks outfits & pjs. It works fine with jeans, but I wouldn't use it for skinny jeans they will never fit again looool My husband taught our maid how to iron ;) he's picky with ironing his shirts , I don't iron & I wear dresses most of the time, they don't need lots of skills to get them ironed & the same with my head scarfs , hubby ends up ironing his shirts most of the time :D <em>edited by wickedangel_78 on 17/09/2014</em>

I am just saying that because my mother in the USA would never iron anything yet she would never step out of the house with less than perfect clothes...

well nothing that comes out of my drier is fit to be worn without a very good iron. Not even sheets come out of the drier and can be used without being ironed.

Ladies my solution to this has been a miracle! I invested in a good quality steamer and it has made a MAJOR difference and works better than an iron… Good Luck But do you use a steamer for all your clothes?

Get an agency maid in for a day and ask them to teach BOTH of you how to iron!! Try Homesafe or housekeeping and speak to manager about your issue. <em>edited by Lolacat on 17/09/2014</em>
