When I was growing up the laundry to be ironed was always put in the fridge over night. Wash day and then ironing day. All clothes were dipped in liquid starch, wrung out, rolled up and put in fridge. A sprinkler bottle was used to wet the clothes before ironing. My mother and grandmother ironed sheets, pillowcases, and anything cotton until permanent press was available.
