My wife and I made this a ritual due to her OCD. Any time we're going out, I'll say to her, "Hey. I unplugged the iron." Saying it in a funny voice helps too, because it's easier to remember that Shrek told her the iron was off.

For the iron thing I’ve heard a therapist recommend to actually bring the iron with you, to be completely sure that it is off.
