Hotel Irons

[FmrFreightDog]

Ok... what the he11 do you guys do to the irons in the hotel rooms?!?!?!?! I doubt they could reproduce the black sticky sludge I keep finding on the bottom of the irons in a science lab. What gives?

thats one of the first things i do when i get into the room, then call down and get a new one right away. nothing like leaving a black streak on your shirt at 4am!

It is a mystery to me, but I'll bet instructordude has solid knowledge.....
I'll bet it has something to do with how he "get's lucky" on 80% of his overnights.
Oh well, far be it from me to judge what kind of strange fetishes may be involved, but that guy is truly a special kind of stupid....

Some guys use those irons to cook their food. There have been threads posted on this topic before.

Just carry a spare Van Husen shirt with you. Nothing takes the black crap off irons like those shirts.

 

[OPECJet]

Shout Wipes don't work on the grunge either... As evidenced by last night.......

That shirt has since been shipped to the CDC. I'll let you know the results.

The problem is too many guys try to iron their polyester pants with the iron. That black is pure melted plastic.

If you're going to iron your poly, put a towel over your pants, then iron.

Who the hell has time for ironing.

 

[J and E's Daddy]

The blackstuff is from ironing polyester at a high setting and plus if you use any starch spray, that will also ruin your iron.

We stay mostly at Sleep Inns. They make you rent the Iron. Nothing like using a bar of soap to wash your hair too. Ahhh Living the dream!

You don't need no stinkin iron. Hang your shirt on a hanger and put it in the bathroom with the shower on super hot for 20 minutes and it will look just fine.

I have found, if it helps, that when that crap gets on a shirt, let it cool and harden then take your razor like you are shaving it and it comes right off.

Hotel Irons work great for to cook frozen burritos.

Ahhh the life of a freight dog..... Iron for shirts? Really?

Ha Stewart!, you go down the 14 flights of stairs the the weirdo hillbilly bar downstairs?

 

[NarcolepticAV8R]

You guys all sound like Martha Stewart.

I usually take one of the hotel towels, run it under the faucet for a little bit, then run the iron across their towel a few times while pushing down. The black stuff will come off on the towel instead of your shirt.

 

[lowery21]

My favorite thing is the stuff from the steam holes. I turn steam off, and use a cup of water, however the funk sometimes still gets blown onto my shirt.

Gotta love mineral deposits.

I thought you guys were back at the HoJo "hooker" hotel. Isn't that russian guy still pimping the girls from the strip bar down the road?

thoes stairs in the other hotel were a bitch, it was easier just to go outside and walk around the parking lot to the front of the hotel at show time.

as for the iron - when there is black crap on it just let it heat up then take a damp towl and iron the towl pressing real hard - it should clean the plastic/rubber gunk off so you can iron your shirt.

Come on guys, be real men and carry your own iron :smash:

(no I don't have one, but if the black stuff happens much more.. I will be very tempted to buy one)

 

[yournextFO]

No one's going to know that you ironed your shirt after about 1.5 legs anyway.

 

[ReverseSensing]

Pay $2 to have your shirt done at the cleaners with heavy starch, wear a clean t-shirt every day, don't spill coffee or Qdoba on yourself, and one shirt will last 4 days, easy. Voila! Never iron again. Oh yeah, don't forget deodorant.

 

[Baze]

If you absolutely have to use the polyester-encrusted iron, juse take a pillow case, turn it inside out, and lay it on top of your shirt. It works like a charm.

Can you imagine the TSA guy looking at this thing speachless. He picks it up from the cord, dagles it infront of you and say "uhh... i don't think you can take this with you...uhh." Then you look at his shirt and quickly realize why he is so confused.

I think I'd be afraid of what's on the pillowcase...


"Is that hair gel?" uke:



Then again, you wouldn't need to bring starch...

ya i did... found a girl that looks like your avatar!

 

[belchfire]

Well, it you really feel the need to iron your shirt, first you empty and refill the water resevoir...I emptied a dead cockroach out of one once.

Second, you always try the iron out on one of the hotel's handtowels first. That way when it melts black goo all over thier stuff instead of yours it ain't so bad...geeze, how long have you guys been doing this? Didn't teach you that stuff at Embryridiculouse? All that money down the drain...

hehehehehehehehe

True story.. there is a guy at Gemini that is reputed to be so cheap, he used the iron in the hotel room to make grilled cheese sandwiches...
