Ours is a light tan with browner bits and looks a bit like stone work.
Sweeps clean for the most part.

I don't know about anyone else here but I certainly appreciate
a nice sharp crease in my slacks as well as men's trousers. So
many people I see these days their clothes, especially dress
clothes, have never had a hot iron touch them.

Same here, but I have two shirts that the collar does not lay right
unless ironed. Often a long time between wearing.

That is pretty much the idea. I'm not good at windows no matter what I
try. In fact, I'm having another 6 replaced so they can be cleaned from
inside. Exterior trim is being replaced too, no more painting as I
don't want to have to stand on a ladder 6 or 8 years from now.

I used to do everything, including major work at home. Now i find it
easier to write a check.

I don't really buy shirts anymore that have to be ironed, but fortunately my
MIL taught all her boys to iron and sometimes when we were going on a date
it had to be delayed until he got his school shirts ironed for the week. LOL

Smart woman. Ceramic tile is great. We have it in both bathrooms and
the downstairs hallway. Eventually it will be in the kitchen. Easy to
keep clean.

That's only a matter of having the cleaner come often enough that you
don't have to to make such a mess that you have to clean up before the
cleaner comes.

I suppose. I can't say I ever bothered.

People still iron? I thought that went out of fashion with drive-in
cinemas and the Lucille Ball Show.

Not in this house. My husband (ex military) irons his own things and mine
too if I need it. I haven't touched an iron in years)

Raises hand.

My husband wears jeans or sweats. I wear knits, or just make do
with taking my chinos out of the dryer and hanging them up.

Next weekend we've got my husband's company's Christmas do.
I'm wearing the chinos and a nice red blouse that I got at the
Goodwill. He's wearing chinos and a Santa Claus Hawaiian shirt.
Most of the people there will be fairly dressed up. I'll look
ok from across the room, and DH will be the class clown.
The last one of these we went to, there was one guy in a t-shirt,
so I'm sure he won't be the worst-dressed man there.

I iron clothes/bedding all the time, my mom made me iron... then I
ironed all my navy uniforms. I still iron clothes, bedding, and my
wife's bras. I do all the laundry here.

There's an ironing board with steam iron always set up in our
spare/guest bedroom... no big deal to iron a garment or three. The
ironing board is one of those 3/4 sized, easily hangs on the back of
closet door if need be. Mostly it's cotton slacks that need ironing,
and I iron linen kitchen towels.

The tile is easy to clean, but it is is better to get a darker colour
so that you don't realized how dirty it is.

So you iron
- bedding
- bras
- kitchen towels

And someone else irons t-shirts and jeans.

From May to September we both wear pure linen shirts, all ironed. Or I
occasionally wear silk shirts, also ironed.

Worth it for the comfort.

That's what drove my sil crazy, they put in dark wood floors and every
piece of dust showed. They were constantly mopping. just like my
black car looks dustier than my white car ever did.

Better off with a mottled finish of some sort.

Tile's easy to clean. It's where they meet that is a dirt magnet.
If you can grout so it's level with the tile, it wouldn't be bad.

Ditto.

It was the young single guys at work who never looked ironed.
They bought no iron dress shirts. They looked okay, but next
to a pressed shirt, no comparison. They didn't look wrinkled,
just a bit rumpled.

And also get a good sealer on the grout. Plain grout is a dirt magnet
that can never be cleaned properly.

I didn't want to say anything, but if my husband took an iron
to my bras, you'd be able to hear the yelling where you are.

Luckily, he pretty much confines himself to putting it on his
head when he finds one lying around. No idea why he does that,
but it's ridiculously funny.

I don't know if it's additives or integral with modern grout,
but mine doesn't mildew or absorb dirt. Much easier than the
old stuff. Plus I told the tile guy, grout lines, piquito!
(laugh) We had a laugh, that's not the word. He got me.

The only place where I have any mildew is where the corner
shelves meet the wall, and the tub meets the wall. Tilex
does next to nothing. I finally found Zep mildew spray.
Perfect. $1.98 at Home Depot or Lowes. Zep Mold Stain &
Mildew remover.

We iron cotton shorts same as cotton slacks, only takes a few licks to
press the creases, cuffs, and waistband so they don't look slept in.
We also have cotton sweat pants/shorts, those don't get ironed. I
suppose ironing depends on the garment and fabricl. I don't buy
synthetic clothing, not even blends of cotton with synthetic.

Epoxy grout. No sealing, smoother finish, waterproof, easy to clean.

Sure it is. See earlier post about epoxy grout. There are now urethane
grouts but I've never tried them.
