Iron board

Ironing boards can be free standing or mounted depending on the available space and frequency of use. Good padding should be provided to cover the base and it should be made from a natural fiber fabric like cotton or wool for best pressing. Foam pads are available for most ironing boards but they do not allow moisture absorption. A thick soft padding on the ironing board gives better results.
