 |
|
I worry about everything. When I leave for work I always worry if I left my iron plugged in. I always leave my iron lying somewhere on my ironing board.
Can my ironing board catch on fire? (is it 'catch fire' or 'catch on fire'?) |

Anyway, yes, your ironing board can both catch on fire and catch fire.
They sell irons for guys like us... (well, guys like you- I don't iron anymore- wrinkled is the new black).
There are irons that automatically turn off after being stationary for several minutes. |

Depends on the board, I imagine some are fire-retardant and others are not.
Just make a point to leave your iron standing up. I left mine on all day once, and even didn't notice it for a while after I got home. It just sat there heating away. I'm sure it wasn't great for my electric bill. |

| You could also just get your shirts dry cleaned. 5 shirts cost 2500, you don't have to wait for them to dry when it's 95% humidity, and they iron them for you. |

Is that considered to be a normal price? |

No. That's a bargain price.
Most dry cleaners charge 2,500-3,000won per shirt.
There's a chain called Cleantopia that charge 900 won per shirt.
I'd like to know the store that only charges 500 won per shirt.. |
