Relax, Casper and ExNj.
Mangle can also mean to simply iron.
Coco just loves using those quaint, old-fashioned terms, doesn't he?
Gotta love him.

As far as clothes are concerned, I am also a "flean-creak" as CoCo would say:-)
I drip dry quite a few things...also love using the clothesline in the summer...but just like ex-nj-jw, I must have that crisp look.
I don't mind ironing. I put on some nice music and ironing becomes my quiet time.
hey cokey......I once told my mother in law to take off her grey wrinkled scarf as it was unbecoming.....turns out it was her neck...crinja....(disclaimer...ninja is talking pish again)
Back in the day, I ironed nearly all I wore - shirts, jeans, socks (!).
Today I am older and tireder. Everything is permanent press, or wrinkled.

The Mangler is a short story by Stephen King, published in 1978 in the compilation Night Shift. It was first published Cavalier in December 1972.
The Mangler is set in an American town, and the action largely takes place in an industrial laundry. Stephen King has stated that, among the many jobs he took to support his family before he became famous, he worked in an industrial laundromat.
When I had a family of four kids & a hubby also two foster kids I ironed sheets pillow slips dish drying cloths ,EVERYTHING!!!!
NOW NOTHING!!!! if it looks creased ,I think "Oh I will wear it anyway,because I am old, folks will look at me & say " Poor ole gal, cant see it needs ironing. "
