good tip...also if you are done take a small piece of stick and replace the torn out piece...works for at least 5 or 6 or more times times before you have to replace with a new sheet.This was taught to me about 15 years ago.

Good one Shirlene. Here in Aus we have ironing board covers made from a special reflective material and I won't use anything else.
I absolutely loathe ironing!!!

1 comment

Not very often - it doesn't break down - as nothing is really touching it. However - if you feel it is breaking down - change it.
