My mom did the freezer thing with the linen tablecloths and my dad's white shirts. She said once his shirts were considered "permanent press" she no longer put them in the freezer. The table cloths were kept in the freezer until she needed them. Every once in a while if she was distracted getting something out of the freezer for dinner she would bring up a tablecloth instead of a roast or whatever she intended. I don't bother to iron anything until I am ready to use it. It comes into the house and is washed, folded and then waits to be used. (I don't really like to iron, and it seems like it always has to be ironed again if I do it before I need it.)
