Default Scorched ironing board cover

I seem to always scorch my ironing board cover, even the ones that claim to NOT scorch. I always use steam - and it's set on cotton. Does anyone else have this problem or can you give me some words of wisdom on how to prevent this from happening.

I had a cheap one from WalMart on, got a (what I thought) good one from Bed, Bath and Beyond which was well padded and two sided. I left the old one on and put the new one on over top of that. I've had the second one on for about 6 months now but after about 3 months it started to get very browned/scorched at the end where I do most of the ironing. Took it off tonight and thought maybe if I sprayed it with a stain remover and give it a good washing maybe I could get some of the brownness off.

I was thinking that before I put it back on maybe I should put a layer of insulbrite on top of the ironing board and then the cover back over that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
