Candace i AM WITH YOU, but my pre wash is i put my material in a bucket and turn on the hot tap. I leave it is the water till it is cold. Hand it up and then iron. I also feel all that hard work and then the colour runs - OH MY GOSH, cannot bear that. I like the smooth ironed look - not the wrinkled look.
