Rating of the best ironing mats for 2022

Bringing yourself into a proper appearance is always much more convenient, having at hand special tools that will help you iron your clothes. But coping with a bulky ironing board is not always easy and fast, and it takes up quite a lot of space. And to use it in a small apartment is not at all possible. The way out of this situation will be a compact ironing mat. About what products are, and what are their features, we will consider in this review.

Description and characteristics

The model for ironing on the table for its intended purpose resembles what housewives build from improvised materials in the absence of a special surface, they simply create home-made rugs from a sheet or bedspread and iron linen on them. However, special options for iron work have been improved. They have rounded edges and are complemented by magnetic inserts at the corners for better adhesion to the metal surface. Such models can have different sizes from 48 cm to 1 meter. They meet:

• in the form of a rectangle;
• square;
• oval patterns.

This ironing device has a special structure with several layers.

1. The outer coating is resistant to frequent temperature changes. It allows you to protect the table and other accessible surfaces from overheating and deformation.
2. Moisture-resistant layer - retains hot steam, preventing its harmful effects on the surface. This functionality allows you to use a simple table or household appliances, such as a washing machine.
3. Special non-slip coating that will not allow the mat to move during ironing.

The number and quality of layers depends on the type of substrate.

After work, the accessory can simply be rolled up and stored in a convenient place for you. And since the compact size of the product allows you to work with any type of clothing or underwear. This version of the substrate will be an excellent choice not only for housewives, it will suit:

• summer residents - since it is not always possible to find an ironing surface in the countryside to put clothes in order;
• those who often go on business trips;
• students renting a room in a hostel.

Separately, you can select rugs that have a specific purpose. For example, options for cutting or sewing clothes using ironing.

Popular basics and tips on how to choose them

The mat material is most often cotton with a special coating, which makes the material resistant to high temperatures and possible burns. Or it could be a polyester rug, but also with cotton added. The best combination of 50% to 50% - so the basics will eliminate each other's shortcomings.

For dense filler, rug manufacturers often use:

• felt fiber;
• batting layer;
• felt pad;
• there are even wool rugs;
• options with a plastic or silicone iron stand included.

Such mini-substrates can not only be bought in the online store, but also made by hand. In this case, not only cotton is useful, but also some other fabrics. However, before you make a rug yourself, you should consider the following criteria for choosing a base.

1. The version for the ironing pad, consisting of very light materials, almost immediately gets dirty and becomes covered with yellowish spots from the iron. Because of what it is better to give preference to darker colors.
2. The next thing you should pay attention to is the fabric itself. The surface that will touch the clothes should not shed. For example: when ironing with hot steam, light-colored items may stain on a similar surface.
3. The coating should not contain additives that will stick to the soleplate when heated. Otherwise, the equipment will constantly cling to clothes, and it will need to be cleaned regularly. In addition, there is a risk that the linen will simply get dirty from such a sole.
4. The disadvantages of budget seals made of foam rubber or synthetic winterizer are that after some time of use they begin to flatten under the influence of hot steam.
