The classic version of the holder is a platform that is attached to a wall or other horizontal surface, with branches for an iron. Designed for comfortable work, as well as for long-term storage of items for ironing. Some models have additional functionality in the form of hooks for a cord, a compartment for an ironing board, etc.
The best option for the location of such a stand is a laundry (laundry) room, or a corner in which there is a car, ironing board and other accessories. However, not every apartment has the opportunity to organize such a corner, so you can place the holder in any safe place.
Pros:
Minuses:
Types depending on the material:
Metal models are more durable, but heat up with prolonged contact with a hot surface.Plastic options may not withstand high temperatures or burst under strong mechanical stress.
Types depending on the place of attachment:
Each type has its own distinctive features that you need to consider before buying. The location option on the door is not always convenient and will not fit every door, there are restrictions on the thickness. Models with fastenings on a horizontal surface will most often have to be constantly moved and used only during the ironing process. Wall stands are the most common and versatile, they can be attached to the wall of the closet, or on the wall of the room behind the door, anywhere where they will not interfere.
It is quite difficult to make a metal or plastic model from improvised means, but you can choose a simpler option.
It is independently recommended to make holders for long-term storage of a cooled iron based on cardboard and fabric. Detailed manufacturing instructions can be found in the public domain on various forums, the necessary tools are also listed there.
It will be possible to place the stand anywhere, for example, in a closet or behind a room door. Models made at home are distinguished by their simplicity and low functionality. It will not be possible to hang an ironing board or place additional items on them. But, at the same time, they will look original and unusual, unlike industrial models.
After choosing the best option, you need to determine the place where it will be attached. Everything will depend on the type of fasteners.Mounting on a table or ironing board just needs to be attached when necessary, but mounting on a wall or in a closet should be approached more responsibly.
Determine the presence of an outlet near the attachment point so that the iron cord is not stretched, and it is enough to turn it on. See if an ironing board will fit in there and if you feel comfortable ironing. Only after determining all the conditions, proceed to fastening.
It is also worth considering whether animals and small children will be able to access the stand, which, through negligence, can drop the stand itself or the iron on it.
When mounting on a cabinet door, on a wall or on a door to a room, make sure that the fixation and stability of the structures are secure. When moving, the iron or the stand itself may fall.
