So, I finally got an upright steamer in the hopes that it will make ironing a little easier. I got it for about 60 dollars off Catch Of the Day and it won't hurt so much if it is a complete dud. I just tried it...and its not too bad. It got the wrinkles out after a few passes up and down Imyu's shirt and it is probably easier then setting up the ironing board and iron. However, if the shirt is REALLY wrinkled, it may take a while to get the wrinkles off. I think I need to get a proper stand so I can hang the shirt up and have my other hand free to move the sleeves etc. So, if I'm in a hurry, this is pretty good...though it did leave small wet splotches sometime. I just supposed I just have to become more skilled at using it. And yes, it does cut down on ironing time and takes up less space so I suppose it is a 'good enough' buy.
Hmm, I should try ironing some pants.....
On another note, Ziggy is most fascinated by the contraption and watch in rapt attention while I unpacked and assembled it. I don't think he know what to make of it.
