About this product
Transform your ironing experience with the Vileda Total Reflect Ironing Board Cover – a clever solution for boosting efficiency and protecting your ironing board. Designed for those who want to cut down on ironing time and reduce heat exposure, this cover is engineered to reflect both heat and steam back onto your garment, allowing you to achieve beautifully pressed results faster.
This robust cover comfortably accommodates most medium and large ironing boards measuring between 120-130cm in length and 38-45cm in width. Constructed from a durable 100% cotton outer layer with an extra thick foam padding, it provides exceptional cushioning and protection for your board, preventing scratches and damage.

The quick-fix elastic system allows for a speedy application and removal, making it ideal for busy households. While the foil layer offers superior heat reflection, be aware that it may show signs of wear more quickly than a plain cotton cover.
