I see the light!! Thanks for the idea. From another leave the iron on quilter.

Great idea. I shudder to think what might happen. Wouldn't it be great if they made an iron that shut off after a given period of time?
|
I bought a little stretchy bracelet for a dollar and I put it on the handle of my little Rowenta iron. When I plug it in, I put the bracelet on. When I unplug it, I take the bracelet off and hook it back onto the handle of the iron. IF I get downstairs and still have the bracelet on, I KNOW that I have to run back up and unplug the iron. SIMPLE

If you are going to use an extension cord make sure you get a real heavy duty one - thicker than the normal ones. Irons put a big strain on regular cords. just a thought.
|
Thanks for the great idea. I, too have a problem with remembering to turn it completely off.
|
Good idea, I got tired of my iron turning off even while I was using it so I use an Old old iron that doesn't turn off and have left it on all night many times...
|
I, too, use the surge protecter and everything plugged into can be turned off at on time.
|
Good idea! I always unplug the iron and hang the cord over the ironing board, so I can see the plug end and as I shut off the light I look over at the ironing board each time and say to myself - "Yes it is off and unplugged!"
Thanks for sharing your safety idea! |
Thanks for sharing this idea! I have a switch on the wall that controls an outlet. Everything that needs to be turned off is attached to a surge suppressor power strip. When I'm done, I hit the switch and all those things turn off. Plus, with a power suppressor, I bolt of lightning is less likely to fry everything!
