I throw them away. Too much trouble to wash them. Just take the old one and cut out a pattern, put some strings through the facings and you have a brand new ironing board cover. Better yet, put a protective brown paper over your good one, then a muslin sheet. When the muslin sheet gets full of starch, rip it off and wash it. Might also have to change the paper. I used to do this many years ago when my girls were toddlers. In those day they wore, stiffly starched ruffly dresses.
