I just throw them away and get a new one. By the time I need a new one they generally have been starched and scorched enough they would probably fall apart in the wash.

I've washed them and then, when I can't keep it looking clean anymore, I cover it with another like np3 for the extra padding!

Thanks for the replies. The one I have on my ironing board has threads sticking to the surface from starching. I don't like to use my "quilting" cover when I am ironing slacks, blouses, etc.

I was afraid to wash it until now, for fear of damaging the washer..LOL

I throw mine out...they are cheap enough.

I wash mine until they fall apart, then I wash them some more! lol

When the holes get so big that ironing is a problem, I leave them on for extra padding and cover them with another.

I need to make one soon, mine is worn out again!

I have found that making a baking soda and water paste and rubbing it into the stains and letting it sit for awhile helps get some of the brown stains out.

I just use them until they are shot and throw them away.

(wash them? there just aren't enough hours in the day and they aren't that expensive to replace---I have to add that I saw a darling cover made out of Dolly Dingle fabric at a recent class I attended that someone had made.......)

wash

I throw mine away. I have never thought about washing one.

Me too! In fact I just bought a new one today, but need to wash the old one first. Maybe I'll have time tomorrow to fit this into my schedule,lol!

Spic N Span will work too. Just add to wash water. Your washer will also be nice and clean when cycle is done!
