If I showed my wife a clean iron and asked her if she was happy about it, she would probably crack me on the side of the head with it and ask if it gets blood stains out too. Ironing is not one of her favorite hobbies. She works longer hours than I do so I can't blame her, thank god for dry cleaners.
I learned my lesson when I bought her a vacuum (a nice one too) for Christmas years back. She wasn't thrilled to say the least and I felt like a monk for a month if you know what I mean. :nono
