I use a regular kitchen towel, (not terry-cloth), on my ironing board to put pieces to starch with Best Press. When it gets stiff as a board, toss in wash and your are ready to go again. All the rest of your laundry load has got the hickups, lol.

My mother taught me to use the wax paper with table salt on it to clean the bottom of my iron. The mix of the salt and wax from the paper did a good job. Of course you have to consider the salt mess and not spread it all over the room floor.

Wow - great idea - love the light bulb ideas
|
Great idea, I hadn't thought of 'sandwiching' them. Thanks
|
Thanks for the hint!
|
That is a great idea!!! I just might have to try that one for sure.
|
What one can't think of someone else can. Thanks for the great tip.

My kids also think wax paper is for slides and the bottom of sleds in the winter. I still have a neighbor that loves to tell that my kids taught her kids to wax their slide! I never though about using it on my iron. Thanks!

It is annoying to keep the pieces from sticking to the iron. I'll use this tip a lot. My mother used old bread wrappers to have her iron glide over clothes. They use to be coated in wax. Just iron the wax paper. The wax isn't a problem on the iron or fabric. And the cereal box bags were very thick wax paper. We saved the cereal bags to make the playground slide slick and we would zip down it fast as lightening! My kids thought wax paper was for slides. LOL. I need to slide again for fun, if there is big slide left in the playgrounds today.

I thought of parchment paper rather than waxed paper. I don't like the idea of getting wax on my fabric. Thanks for tip, I'm moving my parchment paper from kitchen to ironing board. That way, when I see it I'll remember to use it.
