Why you need foil when ironing clothes: life hacks for those who value time
Nobody likes ironing clothes, but there is no way around it. The most time-consuming items are those that have to be ironed on both sides.
There is one interesting life hack that will appeal to those who value time. It turns out that using foil you can speed up ironing clothes twice as fast.
Foil is usually used for baking. It also holds temperature well and is used when you need to keep something hot or, conversely, cold longer.
This quality can be useful when ironing clothes.
How to proceed
First, remove the cover from the ironing board. Then, line the base with a layer of foil, secure it, and put the cover back in place.
Thanks to the properties of the foil, which will reflect heat during ironing, you can iron the item from both sides at once.
At least, that’s what housewives who use this life hack in their everyday life claim.
By the way, you will need foil when the sole of the iron gets dirty and the accumulated carbon deposits will ruin your clothes.
To do this, wrap the sole of the iron in foil, with the matte side facing inward.
In this case, you can continue ironing your clothes without having to clean the iron.
However, the steamer will not work until you remove the foil.
