Rhoda, what about the men's shirt collars that were seperate from the shirts! The dampening down and then rolling it up. If I iron now I loose my temper rapidly and I'm not safe to be around. So it's wash & wear for safety sake!!!!!!!!!!! The extensive cleaning in the hospital was a breeze campared to my mother's eagle eye & lion like temper!
