Do you use a steam iron or a steam generator?
1. Steam iron.
If you have a steam iron, you need an iron holder that allows steam to pass through. You can opt for:
- A compact bracket against which you can rest the iron;
- A solid holder in which you can place the iron;
- A heat resistant silicone 'parking' on the ironing board itself.
The iron holders are generally suitable for all common steam irons, and adjustable for both left-handed and right-handed users. The advantage of a silicone mat on the board is that you can make optimal use of the ironing board's shoulder shape.
