I've mastered the art of folding a fitted sheet, but is there an easy way to iron large ones (and large duvet covers)?

I can say with complete certainty that I have never ironed a sheet in my life. This isn’t that kind of housekeeping blog. :)
With a fitted sheet, once you put it on the bed, it stretches out pretty taut, and then you sleep on it, and so I guess I never felt the need. Plus, when you make your bed, no one can see your wrinkled sheets.
As for duvet covers, ten minutes in the dryer with a damp washcloth takes out most of the serious wrinkles, and again, once it’s spread out on a bed, the wrinkles are kind of incidental.

A cheap hand steamer will take out visible wrinkles when the duvet is on the bed. Just don’t do it while someone is under the covers.

I do not mean to be disrespectful of people who iron sheets, but in my case that would be a level of housekeeping to which I do not aspire.

I have found that the only way to iron these sheets without having them dropping on the floor is folding them once and then ironing first one half, then turn it around and iron the other one.

Why are you ironing a fitted sheet??! O.o Once it is on the bed the wrinkles come out.

I’ve ironed a couple times and its just a case of being very, very patient and possible having a large ironing board. Doing it in logical sections helps too.

there’s no shortcut way, just iron sections at a time over an ironing board. my friend irons all of those things and her pillowcases, you are not alone :) (i have ironed my shams though)
