Silitettävää

Silitettävää refers to items that require ironing. This is a common term in Finnish households and relates to the chore of laundry. The most typical items that fall under silitettävää include clothing made from natural fibers such as cotton and linen, which tend to wrinkle easily. Formal wear, such as dress shirts and blouses, are often considered silitettävää, as a smooth appearance is desired. Certain types of household linens, like tablecloths and bedsheets, can also be included in this category. The act of ironing itself is known as silittäminen. While modern fabrics and washing techniques have reduced the need for extensive ironing for many garments, silitettävää remains a recognized part of domestic tasks for those who prioritize a crisp and neat finish for their clothes and linens. The amount of silitettävää can vary greatly depending on an individual's lifestyle and clothing choices.
