still remember parents weekend when S1 went to college. I don’t think he changed his sheets from drop-off to parents weekend.

I’ve heard horror stories of parents finding the same extremely dirty sheets on the bed at MOVE OUT.
If I was as rich as Oprah or Donald, my sheets would be changed every day. But I’m not, and out of environmental concerns (I mean that from the bottom of my heart! ), I don’t change the sheets that often. Or even nearly that often. Haha
CC is where I learned to double-or triple sheet the dorm beds. It’s my annual rite of Motherhood to put their sheets on at move-in. After that, they are on their own!!
Those lofted beds get higher every year, so I think I’ll let that duty go. Ehhh, this is kid #3.
There was an old story (Vanty Fair?) that Martha Stewart made her staff change to freshly ironed sheets, even if no one had slept in the bed.
Raise your hand if you iron your sheets!
I don’t. I buy 100% cotton wrinkle-resistant ones from Macy’s. However, if Mr. ever decide to insist on ironed sheets, he would be buying me this contraption. Apparently, it makes you happy and you can wear heels and makeup while doing ironing with a smile.

I briefly dated a guy freshman year in college that ironed his sheets and his underwear. He grew up with his Italian mama doing it for him. Cute guy, sharp dresser, metrosexual way before there was ever the word metrosexual.
You could hire someone cheaper than that machine, @BunsenBurner.
Really that machine is hysterical. Would love to know how many of those they have actually sold.
Lots of people have their sheets dry cleaned.
I adore ironed sheets. Percale (the old was better, now I guess it just refers to the weave?) Yup, I’ll often at least iron the top trim and a few feet down.
In college, staff did our laundry. As much an attempt to keep locals employed, at the time. Sheets and pillow cases came back ironed. Jeans, too. We were spoiled.
Martha’s staff uses a mangle, that thing BB linked.
Apparently, Miele sells a few. It has been in their catalog for ages. Otherwise, they would discontinue, like they always discontinue lines that do not sell well.

The video is fascinating. It is a great machine.
In Martha’s blog she sings the praises of a Rowenta iron which she says her housekeeper uses to iron her sheets. They only run about $65.
Rowenta irons are overpriced crap, IMO (owned a few of them). They work no better than a cheap hotel Black&Decker.
When it comes to garments, I am all about simplicity. Silk jersey for me, iron-free shirts from Nordstrom for Mr. That way, any wrinkles will come out with a few brushings with my steamer wand. Highly recommend Jiffy.
There are only 10 of those mangles in stock on Amazon, so act fast. Will this be the next Columbia fleece jacket? Maybe someone on the downsizing thread is looking to unload their mangle along with the excess linens.
Interesting, because a couple of her homes also have mangles, which she describes for sheets, napkins, etc. Oh, that Martha!
Ironing sheets is never going to happen here. 
Not with a maid armed with a Rowenta iron, not with a Miele mangle. LOL. That is one chore I don’t NEED to do.
Just curious how many CCers do this useless exercise, i. e., ironing sheets.
Sorry Bunsen but I couldn’t get past the first 20 seconds of that video – what a snore!
That’s what I thought, lol. 
Isn’t housework fascinating?
LOL I thought you were seriously saying it was fascinating.
Not going to happen here either!
I have never, and will never, iron sheets, undies, men’s undershirts, or any other crazy thing that a hotel valet service will do when you have to have your laundry done and it comes back with even your socks ironed and hanging!
I rarely iron anything, much less sheets!
Daily chores include dishes, wiping down counters and appliances (ingrained from my childhood), picking up the main living areas, sorting mail, cleaning the litter box and feeding the cat. I used to make my bed daily, but H is anti-bed making after military college and routine bed inspections. Between regular trash and recycling, I come close to emptying at least one of the kitchen trash bins daily.
Now that I have a cat, I should probably vacuum between maid visits, but I haven’t adopted that habit yet.
