4 sets in an hour is pretty fast, I think. The fitted sheets won't ever look as good as the flat ones or pillowcases - in fact, I'm not sure it's worth mangle-ing those.I iron the sheets too. Thankfully, I found a housekeeper that likes to ironSigh .... I am the ironing freakazoid. I really, really, really don't like ironing, but I love the end result. I iron everything.
I'm a wee bit tired today. Dishwasher died yesterday. Car is inoperative so I'm walking with a cart to do all my heavy shopping. Just finished mowing our two acres. Newly weds coming in tonight (towards midnight) so I'm preparing rose petals etc and breakfast tomorrow is a make-a-head that I'll find some time for later, hopefully after I've eaten something.
BUT I still need to find a good two hours ironing time before I hit the sack.
Sunday is my sacrosanct ironing day. Ideally, I find a supremely crappy marathon on TV and just keep on going until everything is DONE !!!!!
Missing DH too..
I hope everything comes together...sounds like you had a hard couple of days.

.So how do you like using the mangle now that you have it? I iron so much I should get one. I've only had experience with a large hotel industrial sized mangle that was powered by natural gas and was very noisy. We took the sheets and pillow cases straight out of the washer and ran them through wet and when they came out the other end they were dry.egoodell said:We mangle, thanks to Jeannie!Samster said:I iron the sheets too.

.I'm still getting used to it. It does not do as perfect a job as ironing on a board. That would require the $2,000 Meile Mangle and I don't have the money for that yet. Our next item in that price range will be a new vineyard hood or sprayer for Chris.oceans said:So how do you like using the mangle now that you have it? I iron so much I should get one.

But I did 4 sets of sheets in about an hour the first time I tried it...

.Wow...maybe I don't want a mangle now. 4 sets in one hour seems like that is taking forever to do. When I used the mangle at the large hotel it took about 2 minutes to have a sheet run through the machine and come out the other end and be folded. We had two people at the machine feeding the sheet in and folding it. We had 175 rooms. I think I am going to stick to my method of ironing the sheets right on the bed with a regular iron. It takes me about 5 minutes to do the fitted sheet and the top sheet as I am making the bed.muirford said:4 sets in an hour is pretty fast, I think.

I think so too. 1 hour seems a long time with a machine. Do you have to leave it sitting closed for a set time?oceans said:Wow...maybe I don't want a mangle now. 4 sets in one hour seems like that is taking forever to do.

I don't iron my fitted sheets, but the flat and pillowcases would take me about 20 - 30 minutes for 4 sets.
