10 best firms ironing boards

Choosing any household equipment, we hope that it will be able to become our loyal assistant, taking “ourselves” at least part of the household chores to maintain order in everyday life. Similar requirements are placed on the purchase of a reliable and durable ironing board. No matter how “advanced” the model will be, what additional options the manufacturer will offer, and what design the product will have. The main thing is that the installation performs its main function - it provides the most convenient workplace for ironing clothes and home textiles, and contributes to a quick and high-quality result.

What you should pay attention in preparation for the acquisition:

• the ironing board must have a sufficiently small weight so that it can be easily moved to any convenient place of the apartment;
• stability is one of the fundamental parameters, because the use of the construction implies the presence of a hot iron or steam generator, which can be a great danger when the table is shaky;
• heat resistance - all parts of the device should be made of heat and steam resistant materials so that the board does not deform and serve you as long as possible;
• compactness - most modern models have a reliable folding mechanism that allows you to store the board, even in conditions of limited free space.
