Ironing Board Cover Guide: Buying, Installing, and Cleaning Tips

Undoubtedly, we make our first impression with our appearance. As Rumi said: "People are welcomed by their clothes, hosted by their knowledge, and sent off by their morals." The importance of ironing for good clothes and a good first impression is significant. But does good ironing depend solely on skill?

Besides a good iron and ironing board, you should not overlook the importance of the ironing board cover. Perilla ironing board covers, with their stylish designs that complement home decor, turn your ironing board into a decorative element while also protecting your clothes and making ironing easier with their functional features.

Why is an Ironing Board Cover Important and Why Should It Be Washed?

Over time, ironing board covers get dirty, stained, and permanent black marks can even form due to iron burns. If the cover is not cleaned, this dirt and these stains can transfer to your clean clothes while ironing.

Failure to clean the cover regularly causes the following problems:

• In case of dirt and stains, this dirt on the cover can transfer to the clothing.
• It can cause the clothes being ironed to stick to the cover and burn (scorch).
• It leads to problems like not getting enough efficiency from the ironing process.

A functional cover provides extra protection for your clothes and extends the life of your ironing board.

What to Look for When Buying an Ironing Board Cover?

First, you should buy a cover made of high-quality materials. This is not an item you buy all the time! To protect both our clothes and our ironing board from potential damage, you should pay attention to these features:

• Heat Resistance: The cover must be heat-resistant, non-flammable, and non-stick.
• Material Structure: High-quality materials (polyester felt, polyurethane top layer laminate, high-thread-count synthetic fabric, etc.) increase the durability of the cover. Synthetic fabrics like artificial silk are ideal as they offer a smooth surface. They may not be suitable for fabrics like linen due to the lack of insulation effect of synthetic materials.
• Extra Protection: You can choose a double-filled cover to prevent scorching of clothes. This means there is an extra thick layer of padding between the top and bottom layers.
• Slippery Surface: It should have a slipperiness that makes your work easier.
• Fit: The ironing board cover should be elasticated. This ensures it fits the board perfectly and does not slip.

Useful Ironing Board Cover Models and Sizes

Perilla offers covers with different patterns and color options that match the style of your home. To find the right cover for every type of ironing board, you must first measure your board.

• Small (46-120 cm)
• Medium (46-130 cm)
• Large (52x140 cm)

You can easily order the suitable cover according to these measurements. Also, if you own a Perilla Premium Ironing Board, you should use the cover produced specifically for it.

How to Install an Ironing Board Cover?

You can install the ironing board cover very easily with a practical and simple method. The steps to follow are:

1. First, the wide part of the ironing board cover is brought to the iron rest side (where the iron is placed), and the narrow part is brought to the tip of the board.
2. It is spread over the board so that the edges are equal.
3. The wide part is tucked between the iron rest and the board/frame.
4. Then, the strings inside the 2 white drawstrings at the tip are pulled using the cord tensioner to complete the cover tightening process.
5. The excess part of the string is wrapped around the plastic and hidden under the fabric.

How to Clean an Ironing Board Cover?

Cleaning the ironing board cover is very important to extend the life of the cover and protect your clothes. To perform the most accurate cleaning, it is essential to know the fabric structure of the cover.

• Fabric Type: Ironing board covers differ from each other. While some fabrics are suitable for machine washing, others are only suitable for wipe-cleaning or professional cleaning. The process must be appropriate for the fabric type.
• Professional Cleaning: For the most accurate and efficient results, the techniques applied by professional cleaning companies may be recommended. Having the cover professionally cleaned instead of washing it by hand or machine prevents deformation and extends its life.
• Machine Washing (If suitable): If the cover is suitable for machine washing (like Perilla covers), it can be used again by washing at 35 degrees Celsius. Board covers should be cleaned monthly, either in the machine or by companies.
• Wipe Cleaning: Some covers cannot be washed as they are fixed. In this case, it is possible to clean them by wiping regularly with a soft, clean cloth.

Conclusion

Perilla ironing board covers are a functional and stylish option that complements home decoration and protects the ironing board. Made from high-quality materials, these covers are easy to use and durable. By turning your ironing board into a stylish detail, you can add an aesthetic touch to your home as well as provide maximum protection against scorching your clothes.
