Why cover the ironing board with foil: a brilliant trick

Ironing is a very tedious process and many of us try to avoid it to the last. Or use interesting life hacks to simplify the task.

One of these life hacks can be the use of ordinary food foil in the process of caring for things. This method is described in How Stuff Works.

It is worth warning you right away that you cannot iron directly on the foil. This can damage both the item and the iron. Use the item on an ironing board.

To use this life hack, you need to cut a large piece of foil that will cover, if not the entire board, then at least the main area. Place the foil under the cover, and then use the device as usual.

The principle of this improvement is that the foil reflects heat. Thus, the item you are ironing will be exposed to it from both sides at the same time and will be smoothed out faster. You can leave the foil in the board cover after ironing. But you should make sure that it does not wrinkle during use.
