  This means no more 100% cotton fabrics - those are hell to iron. Go for Lycra / spandex blends.

  Yeah, have started buying tops that can just wash, hang and wear...but they seem to come mostly in black, so end up with many black tops.

  Feedback from my colleagues is that steamer only works for light ironing, not very effective on heavy articles.

  I like viscose...very easy to iron, if nec. G2000 has these polyester/viscose mix pants which are such a breeze...just wash, hang and wear. But I discovered them too late.

  They used to carry mostly the stuff that need dry cleaning...esp. the jackets. Now, practicality wins.

  Must be the argument about individual preferences for pressing it from the bottom or from the middle.

  Unlike those old aluminium(?) tubes, toothpaste now comes in 'unsquashable' tubes which will retain its shape, no matter how or where you squeeze it.
  
  Helps to prevent those toothpaste arguments.
