Mind-blowing Ironing Board Covers With A Difference!

Normally I don’t get too excited about buying certain things… items that we all need for day to day use and as a result can seem a bit mundane. Well that may have changed because I am very excited about this particular item!!!!

I recently mentioned some  top tips for making the ironing much easier and quicker (‘Iron Away Your Problems!’), I’ll summarize these tips again, but personally I find the job of ironing much more enjoyable when using a fun cover… my favorite was the New STRAWBERRIES Design 100% Cotton Ironing Board Cover, but that now has some tough competition because there are even more great designs to choose from in the Ironing Board Cover Range, such as a the fabulous COWHIDE Design 100% Cotton Cover.

Ironing Board Covers don’t have to be boring and this cover proves it! It’s also joined by the new Multi Coloured Spots Design, both of these, like all our Ironing Board Covers are excellent quality and manufactured by craftsmen in the UK. They feature a thick foam backing & drawstring fitting and are very easy to fit.

I’d like to do a recap of some great products and tips also to ensure you can admire a perfectly ironed garment (ironed on a stylish and fun board!)

The items we have to iron the most and the most difficult to iron are shirts and blouses. Whether it’s your kid’s school shirts or your work shirts/blouses you often don’t end up with a good result…. so how do you iron cotton shirts & blouses to get a perfect finish?

Putting on a beautifully ironed garment is a pleasure. Pressing the item can also be a pleasure & not a chore. First rule of ironing is to let the iron & the ironing board do as much of the work as possible. Heat & steam will do most of job for you. Use a good sized ironing board preferably with thick underlay.

Make sure your iron is clean – and free from scale (ideally use a quality steam iron with a good anti-calc function to prevent builds up of scale in the iron). If necessary use a limescale remover on the iron to ensure you don’t mark your clothes. We have new and very easy to use tablets for cleaning irons – the Kilrock Multi Appliance Descaler Tablets. No need to unwrap tablet, just drop it in – bringing washing detergent innovation to descaling!

Have a water sprayer, an ironing pad & ironing cloth to hand for use with delicate fabrics. You may have heard your grandmother mentioning the ‘lay’ of the shirt because they always seem experts in this area, but every garment as it’s own ‘lay’ & getting the shirt onto the ironing board will ensure a perfect result every time.

Undo all the buttons on the garment & remove any collar stays. Ensure the iron is at the correct temperature – too hot & you could damage the item, too cool & you will make extra work for yourself !

There are no rules as to the sequence of ironing a shirt but my preference is to begin with the yoke followed by the sleeves & then onto the main body of the garment leaving the collar to last as that is generally considered the most important part of the look of the shirt. If you like that very crisp and fresh look to your shirts use a Spray Starch – the Dylon Spray Starch contains silicone for easier ironing and improves fabrics’ resistance to dirt & wear.

If possible remove the garment from the tumble dryer whilst it is still slightly damp. Always use a water sprayer with a fine spray onto all shirts before ironing. If you like to wear shirts with razor sharp creases in the sleeves this can be achieved if you first hold the sleeve at each end by the seam & lay the sleeve flat – smooth out any wrinkles. Begin with the back of the sleeve. Iron the cuffs on the inside & avoid any puckering. Iron into the sleeve from the cuff to remove any creases. Then turn the sleeve over to just lightly finish off the razor sharp crease.

Next press the main body of the shirt, usually on the inside first & not directly onto the buttons as this can make them brittle. Iron the facing on the inside of the buttonhole panel & then the rest of the front. Go around the buttons with the point of the iron. Press the back of the shirt working up to the main pleat but do not iron it flat.

Finally press the collar on the inside. Iron from the collar points to prevent any puckering.

Hang the garment on to a good quality hanger with the correct shape – this can be when all your previous work is ruined! We have a variety of shirt hangers – the Deluxe Wood lore Aromatic Cedar Wood Shirt Hangers infused with Lavender will give a great result, protect your shirts and smell wonderful.

Fasten the top two buttons & the bottom button to let the garment dry & hang properly. Items such as an Over Door Hanger are particularly useful when ironing. You may choose to use a Linen Spray when ironing, such as the Heathcoat & Ivory Rose Linen Spray which will give your garments a wonderful aroma.
