Since the dawn of time, men and women alike have preferred straight clothing over wrinkled clothing. Cave drawings uncovered in the Mesopotamian Desert wilderness show women heating rocks and rubbing them on fur clothing. Wrinkled clothing was actually an offense punishable by death in Hammurabi's Code. A recent archaeological discovery has uncovered the oldest laundromat in recorded history while excavating the ancient city of Ur. Cleverly named Laund-UR-mat, this laundromat, actually started by Abraham's youngest brother Ephraham, is historical proof that even thousands and thousands of years ago, human beings found ironing clothes inconvenient and tedious and that people would rather outsource ironing than take the time to do it at home. Fortunately, there is help for those of us that burn holes through shirts and ruin blouses. The experts at Expert Village have made an easy to follow and completely free video series to make ironing at home an option again.
