Product Overview
The Handy Laundry Magnetic Ironing Mat has been made to allow you to create an instant ironing area on top of a flat washer, dryer, or any other appliance that has a compatible metal surface. The mat will stay securely attached with built-in magnets. Additionally, the quilting adds a layer of comfort as well as protection from hot irons.
The mat's unique design allows it to be folded up when not in use which makes it simple to store in a small laundry room, closet, RV, dorm, etc… It is also intended for individuals who do not require an all-purpose ironing board but rather just a basic ironing station for their occasional needs.
Customers Say
The mat has been praised by many consumers as a convenience item for small or one-time ironing tasks. Consumers have noted that the mat offers the advantage of saving space when used in place of a traditional ironing board. The most common uses reported are for use on top of a washer and dryer to quickly iron shirts, pants, etc.
Some users are pleased with the mats magnetic hold as this makes it easier to keep the mat in place on compatible metal appliances. In addition to the positive comments about the magnetic hold several reviewers said the quilted padding provided enough cushioning for standard touch-up work and that when they were finished they could fold the mat up for easy storage.
However some of the common complaints regarding this product include that it is significantly smaller than a typical ironing board and therefore will be much less useful for those who need to frequently iron large quantities of laundry. Consumers also complained that the strength of the mat's grip is dependent upon the type of material used for the appliance and that if you apply too much pressure while ironing, you may find the mat will shift.
