You know the situation...you have two minutes to leave the house and the shirt you wore yesterday and the day before is all sweaty and in a crumble on your bedroom floor....
With the new "Perfume Iron" this won't be a problem...
This iron will iron like a normal iron but will also spray perfumed
steam into your shirt leaving you with a fresh new shirt for work. The perfumed steam will also be great for smelly socks and underpants!

There are mild perfumes meant to be poured into your iron... [hello_c, Aug 23 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]

Anything involving actual ironing requires too much flat surface and dexterity.
Can we get something more like a french press?
(Yes, the coffee kind, not Le Monde.)| — | jutta,

Your standard iron can be retrofitted for the purpose, assuming it's standard enough to have a place to pour water in. |

(Cautiously) A french press of the kind that one makes coffee in? Perhaps, if your clothes smelled good enough, like really good coffee, no-one would pay attention to the wrinkles. |

The trouser-press makers might add a scent, um, gland; their ad copy has a kind of halfbaked enthusiasm already. |

I am impressed by the comments! The FrenchSoaps.com idea is more or less the answer to the "perfume iron" idea. We just need stronger fragrances to kill off the more pungent smells! |

I wonder if the big fragrance houses (Calvin Klein etc) would consider expanding their range of perfumes to include "iron sprays" |

With all due respect to all parties I was eavesdropping on, I am going to submit a halfbaked French Press. Just burning some incense around the offending clothes works, I stink from experience.
I submitted a halfbaked French Press which was designed to pour water on Criminals and/or French people as a means of punishment. PeterSealy correctly pointed out that something like this had already been baked. In Vietnam. During the war. I respectfully removed it. Like I said, I stink from experience.| — | thumbwax,

//Never wash your clothes again!//
What do you mean, 'again'? |

I question the wisdom of putting anything that contains oils into your iron. They eventually cause the iron to malfunction. |
