Any housewife who cares about home comfort is faced with the periodic need for ironing. This process is quite tedious and time-consuming. To facilitate your work and avoid damage to the laundry when ironing, it is best to use a cover for the ironing board, which is convenient in operation and has several types.
When purchasing an ironing board, buyers pay attention not only to its design, but also to the appearance. The cover for the ironing board plays not only an aesthetic role, decorating the ironing surface, but also performs several practical functions. So, the material from which the cover is made is very important. It is great if it is soft and has non-stick properties.
Depending on the price, the covers differ in quality. The cheaper ones are made from cotton fabrics. For models of ironing boards, synthetic materials are more expensive that do not allow moisture to pass and do not stick to the iron.
Covers can have different sizes depending on the board for which they are designed: 132 by 48 cm, 124 by 45 cm. Often, the cover on the ironing board is equipped with a special cord, with which you can adjust its size to the surface for ironing, firmly fix and prevent his slide. Inside, it is equipped with a thin layer of foam, which, depending on the brand, is from two to four millimeters.
Modern manufacturers care about customers. So, the cover for the ironing board can be purchased removable, which facilitates its operation. There is an opportunity to wash it, clean it and put it back on the board for further use. Cotton coating makes it possible to wash the cover.
Covers are very popular, in the production of which a metal thread is introduced into the fabric. When ironing, the effect of double ironing is obtained. This happens because, together with the iron, the metal threads of the case are also heated, thus acting on the fabric from two sides. The colors of such coatings can satisfy the tastes of any housewife.
To improve the quality of ironing, it is better to use a cover with a non-stick effect. This useful function is performed by the cotton base of the case, impregnated with silicone. As a result, ironed clothes are not at risk of burning. Moreover, the impregnation helps to carry out bilateral ironing. When heated, it transfers things to heat. The cover lets steam through and does not thin out during operation.
The use of Teflon makes the cover for the ironing board better. Teflon fabric virtually eliminates sticking from exposure to a hot iron, synthetic fabrics do not stick to it. Also, such a cover supports the dual ironing function.
In 2010, a new product appeared - a miracle cover for an ironing board, which surpasses its predecessors in some parameters. So, it has longer service life, has fire resistance, which makes it safe and impervious to water. Using a miracle cover, you can increase the quality of ironing and reduce the time for this whole process. With the new product, it’s not scary to leave the iron that you forgot to turn off in a horizontal position. After all, a miracle cover is able to withstand a heating temperature of up to 150 ° C. Innovative materials were used in the production of the miracle cover. It was tested along with similar products from other manufacturers, and at the same time, the novelty always turned out to be on top, proving its high quality. If we compare the miracle cover with the usual elements of an ironing board similar to it, then they sometimes pass water, which is detrimental to the fabric from which they are made. The coating, which is applied to the miracle cover, has a water-repellent effect and at the same time is able to give off heat, thereby increasing the quality of ironing.
