Hailo ironing board cover
Comments (1)I am having the same problem. Did you find a cover and what was the size...See MoreTales of ironing board cover woes!
Comments (19)For years I made my own ironing board covers. For one thing, boughten ones don't always fit right. I just put on some old towels and blankets and then muslin or a sheet on top. Any fitting is confined to slapping the layers on the board and cutting a very rough outline of it so that the layers hang down for 4 or 5 inches all around. Then I use safety pins to shape it around both ends, and in the middle I use two or three of those elastic tape with clips or pincers on both ends to pull the sides of the layers towards each other. However, last time, I got lazy and was tempted by an ad, or maybe something I read online, that claimed a certain board cover would never get burned. I bought one. It truly doesn't get burned, but what I don't like about it is that it seems as slippery as if it were made of horsehair. DH's shirts and other things tend to fall off it. Pleated skirts are a nightmare. Probably it has some spun glass fibers in it. And at the slightest chance, the tip of the bottom blade of my fiscars catches in it and makes a slit. It cuts very easily. I think next time I'll go back to making my own cover....See Moredon't they make replacement covers for countertop iron boards any
Comments (5)azzalea- Mine is the smaller countertop kind. I was just so sure I saw them at Wal-Mart- but nope... I am in a very small town, we have 2 hardware stores- nope, again. I tried to search online, but found none- I didn't know it was going to be so hard.... I just hate the thought of buying one when the actual 'board' is good!...See MoreIroning Board Cover???
Comments (4)This is very strange. I replied to this thread early on right after plllog, now it's completely gone. I said I have seen them at Walmart, big lots, and many other places. They are definitely around. I have even seen them at the grocery store. Now why would my reply disappear....See More- 18 years ago
