very similar to how we do it today. Before there was electricity, a person would use a clothes iron (same shape as what we use today, except it was made of iron and had a wooden handle.) This was placed on the stove (usually wood or coal burning) to heat it up, then used as we use it today to get the wrinkles out of clothing.
Before the iron was invented people didn't press their clothes much. There were various presses that could be used, usually two boards held together with clamps. People also used to put their trousers under the mattress overnight if they didn't have an iron.
The earliest iron were heavy pieces of cast iron with a handle that could be warmed in the fire. Some also had a hollow in the top to hold burning coals to keep it warm.
A pot of water was put on top of the stove.
They used fire to cook there food, and they had to go out into the forest to get the wood and dry it out.
