Keep your Laurastar ironing board cover in top shape with this simple cleaning guide. Learn the right method to protect steam flow and extend its life.
Quick answer
Clean your Laurastar iron cover by hand with mild soap and warm water, then air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents to protect the special steam-friendly padding.
Why regular cleaning matters
Over time, fabric softener residue, dust, and spray starch can build up on your ironing board cover. This buildup blocks steam from passing through, making ironing less efficient and potentially damaging the cover's padding. A clean cover helps your Laurastar ironing system work as intended.
The Laurastar MyCover S is designed with materials that allow just the right amount of steam through. Keeping it clean preserves that performance and extends the cover's life.
What not to do
Do not machine wash or tumble dry your Laurastar iron cover. The agitation and heat can damage the padding and elastic edges. Also skip bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets—they leave a residue that blocks steam.
If your cover has stubborn stains, spot clean gently rather than scrubbing hard. Aggressive scrubbing can compress the padding and reduce its comfort.
How to clean your Laurastar iron cover
- Remove the cover: Unhook or unzip the cover from your ironing board. Check the care tag for any specific instructions from Laurastar. Always check the care tag first—some covers may have slight variations.
- Hand wash with mild soap: Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild liquid soap. Submerge the cover and gently agitate it with your hands. Focus on any soiled areas but avoid scrubbing the padding. Do not wring or twist the cover—this can damage the elastic and padding.
- Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with clean lukewarm water. Rinse the cover by gently pressing it underwater until all soap is gone. Repeat if necessary. Leftover soap residue can attract dirt and block steam holes.
- Air dry completely: Lay the cover flat on a clean towel or hang it over a drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat. Let it air dry fully before putting it back on the board. Using the cover while damp can cause mildew and reduce steam flow.
- Reattach the cover: Once dry, fit the cover back onto your ironing board. Make sure the elastic edge is snug and the cover is centered so the padding lies flat. A loose cover can shift during ironing and create wrinkles.
