If you only need to iron once in a blue moon, don't bother owning an iron and ironing board, instead buy a bottle of "Downy Wrinkle Releaser." I've had it around for awhile, but didn't use it until today (our power is out and my spouse's pants REALLY needed to be pressed.) I'm very impressed with how well it works. Just follow the directions on the bottle. I pretty much just sprayed them down, laid them flat on the bed, and used the palms of my hands to smooth the wrinkles out.
