ironing board covers
#11
I use the big board that has the material stapeled to the underside. How do those of you that have this type of board handle it when it needs a good cleaning? I was planning on digging out all the staples and restapeling new canvass to the board.
Anybody have a better idea for me that is less labor intensive?

I have one of the June Taylor Square and Block boards, and also a small board I made out of plywood and covered. Both of them I have taken out back, hosed to get them wet and scrubbed with Dawn, sometimes bleach if really bad, and hosed to rinse. One spot only came out with lemon juice and sun. Just let the sun dry them. They are good as new. Trick is not to get them too wet, like soaking the board in the water.
I haven't tried to clean the ironing board cover. Mine has the painted grid on it. Has anyone tried to clean one like this? Afraid the printing will come off.

I had to finesse it around the corners so there were no wrinkles, but after I got that fixed it works great. Your elastic may need to be replaced, it sounds like it's degraded and/or stretched out. I recently had to replac the elastic in one of my bedsheets, which otherwise shows no wear. Makes me wonder about the quality of elastic that's being produced lately.
