I was born in 1952. My Irish grandmother always ironed all of her washed sheets. She had five beds to do and did this every week so she staggered them. She also ironed tablecloths and all the outer clothing. Her evenings were spent doing this. I felt she was working to hard but she enjoyed it. She also before bed, set out a beautiful table for a big breakfast and got out all her pans,utensils, and supplies to do this. I loved staying overnight there. I felt so loved and cared for and anticipated the next day with happiness. Wonderful memories. She lived to be 98.

Good afternoon Rajiv from Bielefeld / Germany. I love watching your videos. When I was a child my mother used to bring all our sheets to a "Heißmangel Laden". It was a shop with a large rotary iron. After a day she collected the perfect pressed sheets in an old pram. (Childhood memory) My grandmother, who grew up in the countryside, still made her own Linen sheets using a loom. I still have some very old linen in my cupboard. Also, the area I live in is known for its linen weaving industry. Over centuries there was a large linen trade across Europe. Your recent Florence videos were great too. My brother lives in Livorno which is not that away. I remember driving from Livorno to Florence in the car and we were passing an area with tannereis / leatherworks.
We did the same in Poland but did not have fitted sheet. Everything was flat, duvet had removed buttons. Tablecloths and napkins were crispy and perfectly ironed. I don’t iron my sheets. I have Pima cotton Charisma ,it doesn’t need ironing.
Hi Rajiv. I love your philosophy about ironing your sheets. It's about doing it for yourself. I admire the positive vibes you send to your viewers . Much love from Trinidad 🇹🇹 ✨️
I am 64. I love your channel. BUT… beside me , you are the only other person I know that irons sheets. A few of my friends send them out (eye roll). I iron my pillow cases. We have an eastern king bed. I only iron the part of the sheets that stick out doesn’t get tucked in. The top sheet is 76x80”. I have a lot of time but I have a lot of things to do! You are right. The sheets do feel better. Try it people. It’s worth the effort.
I iron sheets and pillow cases too. It’s just not the same if I don’t. People think I’m mad but I have to do it. 😂. I still use cotton handkerchiefs and I iron those too, also linen napkins.
At first I was thinking, "why?" but when you explained, and especially when you spoke of sleeping à la mode, I completely understood! Damn, boy! Or awwww sheet, boi!" 😂 Thanks Rajiv.
Oh! This is perfect timing. I recently bought some beautiful bed linen as I was inspired by your bed. It arrived yesterday and I actually thought "I bet Rajiv would iron it." Can't tell you how it made me smile to see the title of your video. Exactly what I needed at exactly the right moment. Love everything you put out but this seems particularly fortuitous! Yay!
My sister who passed away couple of years ago lived in a house with a backyard and hung her sheets outside to dry. She loved fresh sheets on her bed so much that she changed her sheets twice a week!
Thanks Rajiv, that brought back memories of my grandmother. I used to iron my pillowcases, but I have very curly hair that as I age is getting more opinionated about how it is going to behave, satin pillowcases have made a world of difference for me even though I miss miss the crisp ironed pillowcase.
It’s something that lots of “old folks” used to do. They seemed to iron everything! Hankies, undies, even socks! I used to be mesmerized watching my mama iron. It was somewhat of a production with the homemade water shaker she used to wet down the clothes as she didn’t have a steam iron.
My family is from the south (Louisiana) and Saturday was ironing day. Sheets were ironed and starched. It makes you feel so nice when you slide in a crisp, soft, smell good bed. I vacuum my bed first and spray the bed with linen scented water and make my bed with crispy sheets. Even when I don’t have time, I iron nd starch my pillow cases. I can at least smell and any face feels amazing and I fall a sleep quickly. I didn’t think folks iron their sheets anymore.
I noticed yesterdays video, showing your purchases from Italy, showed sheets on your bed that were not ironed. I smiled seeing todays video because you haven't stopped ironing the sheets after all! Kindred spirit over here, Rajiv.
Hi Rajiv! Would you do a series on how to iron different types of clothing items? I would especially appreciate a video on how to iron various types of shirts. Also, would you teach us how to use starch? I was wondering if you can starch any clothing items or could it be damaging to certain types of fabrics?
I use rice starch for cotton and linens primarily shirts, pants and Indian sarees. You soak the cleaned clothes in starch and leave it for 5-10 mnts. You want to make sure the starch is neither too thick nor thin. After soaking, you just hang them dry. I never tried dryers for starches! And then the fun part of ironing starts. My starched clothes retain their crispness for 3-4 wears. Hope this helps.
I looooooove ironing sheets and I totally get the therapeutic effect. Thanks Rajiv! I was born in 1970, in Toronto 💗🍁and came to the UK as a very small child.
I have seen many content creators talk about Brook linen and Rajiv you have done the best job by FAR explaining why the sheet sets are so good. You bring your extensive knowledge and attention to detail to everything you do and it is inspiring.
I'm about Rajiv's age and started ironing my sheets when I first got married about a decade ago. I actually learned about it from Rita Konig! It's so worth it and I really feel it improves your sleep when the sheets are ironed.
Ah, perfect timing -- I ironed mine this weekend. My friends think I'm extra, and I don't care. I love ironing my sheets. I didn't know other people got the same mental satisfaction I do with this task, but I'll admit it's easier in a one-bedroom home. I sometimes do run out of mood to iron the whole thing and just make sure to iron the hems and the part of the bed I will see. But the pillowcases are always done perfectly!
Another great tutorial. ❤️ I try to have as many “hotel moments” in my home as possible…a well made bed, fresh flowers, beautiful soaps, a lovely set table with ironed cloth napkins. It makes every day feel luxurious and one can do it well, even on a budget.😊
Mundane tasks grounds you to your life❤ I grow up seeing my grandma having proud on her sheets, pots and pans. I would watch her iron the sheets all day long, it was a task of love and proud❤
I always iron my bedsheets- there’s nothing more luxurious than slipping into a well pressed bed. It feels wonderful! This is ultimate self care-I totally agree.
I LOVE this video! Sometimes I iron the hem of the sheets ON the bed! It just feels easier that way 😊. I am so curious about the placement of your lamp at the foot of the bed, by the window. Do you have a lamp at the head of the bed in case you want to read in bed?
i bought brooklinen towels and it came with bath mats and i still haven't tried their sheets but now i want to lol i'm currently using sheets from amazon...i really want to try ironing my sheets though to improve my sleep and desire to go to bed and sleep
I grew up in Europe, my mother and grandmother ironed everything, sheets, towels, underwear and, yes even socks. I still iron sheets and pillowcases but not the other stuff😀
Figures. I just ironed my top sheet yesterday, and here you are with you ironing video. Lol. I just iron the top edge so it looks nice when folded over the quilt.
I take my sheets out of the dryer when they are still hot and dry then put them on the bed. They aren't wrinkled at all and they stretch smooth and tight on the bed. And the weight of the blanket also smooths the sheet. My sheets are material that don't wrinkle.
This. Ironing sheets is basically a big waste of time and I do not want my sheet on the 'dirty' floor because I am trying to get creases out of something that will just crease again after one night or two.
I too love to iron. It is so lovely to put a great movie on, such as " Dalgiesh", and truly enjoy ironing my clothes and I iron my pillow cases and the larger edge of my sheets so that when you fold it it looks crisp ❤
We had 2 iron school uniform as a children 4... a very long... too long 12 years . In the south we can walk around in wrinkled linen and no 1 cares 1 bit . So relaxing outdoor living . I do know that when u iron 4 someone they feel cared 4. So that translates 2 u as u caring 4 u. Just like in reading books. the methodical right 2 left repetatove eye movements calms something in the brain. ❤🌎 ❤

I thought I was as the only person I know who irons my sheets outside of the dry cleaning service, except I place the fitted sheet in my bed first, then I iron it. The flat sheet, I fold into 2 and then I iron it. It’s such a great feeling when you get into bed with smooth, ironed sheets. My friends make fun of me, but they don’t know what they’re missing. 😉😌
Bravo👋👋👋. Welcome folks to the "Elite club of iron freaks". Ironing is similar to vacuuming the carpet. Dry cleaners will iron the clothes along the lenof the table! If you think ironing twin or queen, king sheets is tedious, then try ironing Indian sarees either of 6 or 9 yards of cotton or silk or some other material😂😂😂. I am effing good at it😅.
Rajiv, when you’re ironing, take those flowers off that high table and pull it over so you can put your iron down and have access to your entire board to sort out and flatten and smooth your sheet then grab your iron when you’re ready to use it.🙂. Efficiency tip.
Rajiv, may I suggest something? If you iron near a table -- or somewhere you can place a little round table -- you can place your iron there (on a beautiful antique ironing trivet, of course) and you won't have to constantly be juggling your iron when you are moving whatever you are ironing. Thank you for this video! I have always loved ironing, and my friends & family think I'm crazy.
You make even ironing sheets exciting. When youtubers are promoting a product I always fast forward because I found it boring and I’m not interested. However, you do it differently, the way you explain about Brooklinen sheets, make me want to get them.
I have ( All my sheets and pillowcases freshly ironed and I haven't even got to the end of the video ! My Aunt taught me when I was a small child / when I open that closet my ( linen closet 😳🤔 with matching suede hangers) the few guests I've invited in usually get uncomfortable and they want to leave afterwards / thank God 🙏🙌 I'm not alone 🙏
My grandmother ironed her sheets. They were so stop from the starch she used you had to iron them. If I was there on iron day which was Tuesday it was my job to iron 😀😀Monday was wash day 😀
We bought good quality, but took care of things & valued what we had. Now it’s the disposable age & the young don’t care much about such things. It’s a shame but life goes on. We are a different breed from the younger generation.
Crawling into bed with freshly ironed sheets and pillowcases is one of the great luxuries of life! If ironing isn’t realistic for one’s lifestyle, then send them to a good cleaners.
I have sheets that I rotate through, so would you recommend that I iron them before folding and putting them away in my linen closet? Or, fold them wrinkled, store them for the week, and iron them right before I put them on the bed?
I’m a 42 year old woman, love fresh and ironed sheets, wardrobe, and all things that I’m using frequently…It’s a great feeling of luxury and taking responsibility for yourself. I can’t stand to see myself walking around with a wrinkled shirt…
Rajiv you’re giving yourself a steam facial at the same time and if you put your houseplants near the ironing board they will get a humidity bath too. 😂😂😂. Three birds with the one stone ❤
I have always ironed sheets. My friends think I'm mad. But I'd rather leave well used sheets on my bed for another few days until I have time to do them right.
I’m googling because idk what fiber sateen is… well, it is cotton, like percale only with a different weave. I like the breathability of cotton so I was afraid of sateen.
@@ellenyoung9223 It’s always amusing to me to see pushback about ironing. When I’m asked about my mental health practices, and what work I do to stay positive, it’s heavily connected to the seemingly laborious and mundane things I do like ironing my sheets. That’s why I made this video.
@@rajivsurendra we just have to wash sheets a lot because of pet hair and have full size sheets so it'd be a lot of effort! I do love finding peace in the mundane but I also struggle to keep up with basic cleaning and how quickly it gets undone. I try to prioritize "chores" that involve pet care, then self care like exercise and nutrition, and after that im doing great if I still have the energy to read or crochet for a bit. Maybe I'll get there one day
Life is made up of the small moments, the quality of one's life is made up of these moments. I don't 💙 ironing, but I do it for the self care side 💯 percent, Rajiv... 🍑🤭
Do you know what you have never done a video on? Your bathroom!! You have shown us your spice jars, your desk drawers, how to clean windows, polish silver, your bed, your clothes, we have never seen how you decorated your bathroom? do you have any fancy fixtures in there? what kind of towels do you like? how do you clean your shower/tub and toilet? any labor saving tips?????
I think he is using a Rowenta “steamium” iron. Good German appliance maker, sells on Amazon, about $80. Taken care of, will last for 20 years or more. My Rowenta is 27 years old, works as new.

It does make a difference. (I suck at ironing)
I use 100% cotton sheets and they look better and feel better if they are ironed. Cotton sheets last much longer than poly/cotton blends.
I do iron my pillow cases because I sew on purple flowers with green leaves.

Hi Rajiv, I was just wondering if you do any upcycling? If yes, would love to see a few upcycled projects. Thanks.
Hi there, I don’t know what that means, sorry!
Hi Raijvi 👋 I only iron my pillow cases. I use linen sheets.. I was wondering what the brand of your iron, please😊
Hi, what model iron are you using? Mine leaks water as steam comes out.
The steam holes may be blocked with lime scale. Distilled water is much better in the iron. It’s really inexpensive. Just a thought.
I don't iron my bottom sheet, but I do iron the top sheet & pillow cases. So much nicer than a rumpled pile ! 😊
My Mom ironed everything - never realized why until I began hating how the edges of my flat sheets curl up. I'm pretty close to converting LOL.
Was I the only viewer who zoomed in to see what brand of iron Rajiv uses?
Were you able to see? I was trying to figure it out too. lol
Love the labeling.
What kind of iron are you using, Rajiv?
You might be interested in a hand held steamer :) Makes it a lot easier!
Steamers are nice but are not quite the same
Thanks.

It’s always amusing to me to see pushback about ironing. When I’m asked about my mental health practices, and what work I do to stay positive, it’s heavily connected to the seemingly laborious and mundane things I do like ironing my sheets. That’s why I made this video.
@@rajivsurendra we just have to wash sheets a lot because of pet hair and have full size sheets so it'd be a lot of effort!
I do love finding peace in the mundane but I also struggle to keep up with basic cleaning and how quickly it gets undone.
I try to prioritize "chores" that involve pet care, then self care like exercise and nutrition, and after that im doing great if I still have the energy to read or crochet for a bit. Maybe I'll get there one day
Ironing in layers makes so much sense and makes the job less daunting!
And FYI peeps U don't have your house keepers do this, U do it😂👍💗
Rajiv, this is where you and I part ways. I'm never doing this.
Good for you!
Skin looking extra chocolate today. 🍫😜
Life is made up of the small moments, the quality of one's life is made up of these moments. I don't 💙 ironing, but I do it for the self care side 💯 percent, Rajiv... 🍑🤭
I send my sheet sets out for laundry and press. They come back on a hanger. Now I just need to afford someone to change my sheets everyday.
Do you know what you have never done a video on? Your bathroom!! You have shown us your spice jars, your desk drawers, how to clean windows, polish silver, your bed, your clothes, we have never seen how you decorated your bathroom? do you have any fancy fixtures in there? what kind of towels do you like? how do you clean your shower/tub and toilet? any labor saving tips?????
I iron dusters😂
Rajiv, what iron are you using?
I think he is using a Rowenta “steamium” iron.
Good German appliance maker, sells on Amazon, about $80.
Taken care of, will last for 20 years or more.
My Rowenta is 27 years old, works as new.
Why iron sheets? Because a clean, beautiful bed is one of the least expensive “pleasures” of life. Getting into that bed is an aaaahhhhh moment.
I always worry about the clean sheet dragging on the floor and picking up dust, hairs, etc. Any ideas?
I addressed this in the video 😊
What kind of iron you are using
Seems like a TON OF WORK!😛
You are my grandma lol
God bless you. I will never iron my sheets.
It’s called being particular. And that’s ok.
Why ????
Simply, no.
