And, if you’re stuckwithout an iron, here’s how to avoid some wrinkles and creases.
Never iron directly on a wooden or stone surface, carpet, or bedding.
Choose a Covering
The ideal covering is an ironing blanket.

Ironing blankets are typically made of silicone-coated cotton which is heat and scorch-resistant.
Many are backed in non-slip foam so that ironing is a breeze.
The blankets can be folded and stored away easily.

Keep an ironing blanket in thelaundry roomand use the top of the clothes dryer as an ironing surface.
If your towels are not thick, stack two or three thinner towels to create a base.
Always set the iron upright on its base and never leave it with the flat surface down.

What If I Don’t Have an Ironing Board or an Iron?
Avoid ironing on memory foam or latex mattresses, which could get damaged.
If youre ironing a garment that needs creases, carpet wont work as well.
