Ranking of the best ironing boards and tips for choosing

The ironing board today is not just a stand for an iron, but a high-tech and multifunctional device. Progress does not stand still, and in the evolution of ironing boards there was a huge leap.

Today, the requirements for ironing boards consist of many parameters.

1. The width and length of the ironing surface is the area of ​​the ironing board lid. The larger it is, the less movements need to be made to smooth out bed linen, curtains, tablecloths or ironing clothes.
2. The weight of the ironing board should not be too small, but not too large. Too light construction will have a little stability, which will reduce its safety. If the weight is large - it will complicate its folding and storage.
3. The material from which the ironing surface is made, is represented today by a wide range - from particle board to perforated metal. The drawback of a wooden canvas is that it absorbs moisture and cracks with time. The plus of metal is lightness and practicality, and the perforated metal passes excess steam through itself and remains in its original form for many years. Today, there are ironing boards with heat resistant plastic covers.
4. Pads on the legs perform two functions at once: prevent the ironing board from slipping and protect the flooring from damage. Can be made of rubber or plastic.
5. Compactness when folded is an important point that will affect storage conditions: if the design takes up little space, it will be convenient to store it in any apartment and even in a wardrobe.
6. Cover material also matters. Natural heat-resistant fabric protects against burning the iron, burning the cover and at the same time is capable of passing air.
7. The presence of the wire bracket allows you to lift the wire above the ironing board to avoid tangling it, eliminate wrinkles during ironing and extend the service life of the iron.
8. The presence of the sleeve makes it easy to smooth the sleeves on the clothes without any extra effort.
9. Adjusting the height of the ironing board allows you to iron with maximum comfort to a person of any height, some boards even have a sitting position for ironing.

Some modern ironing boards have unusual features. which are turned on and off at the touch of a button.

• Vacuum. On the working surface of the board, from the bottom side, 2 fans are built in, working in such a way that air is drawn through the perforated ironing board and attracts light fabrics. With such a function, it is easy to iron delicate fabrics such as silk and chiffon, since the air flow helps to straighten all the folds and avoid slipping the fabric.
• Heat. The working surface of the ironing board may heat up if necessary. This feature is very convenient in the off-season and helps to easily and quickly dry clothes without much effort, and also facilitates the steaming - the surface of the board remains dry and warm.
