Abstract

A pressing cloth for use with an ironing board includes a piece of textile material having dimensions adaptable for positioning on the surface of an ironing board and in particular on a cover of an ironing board. In one embodiment one end of the pressing cloth is removably connected to the tapered end portion of the ironing board. The second end portion of the pressing cloth is freely movable on the surface of the ironing board so as to be used as a pressing cloth when desired. When not in use the second end of the pressing cloth is removed from the ironing board so as to expose the ironing board with the pressing cloth remaining attached to the ironing board. In another embodiment the pressing cloth and ironing board cover are integrally connected. The ironing board cover is conventionally secured to the ironing board. One end of the pressing cloth is secured, such as by sewing, to one end of the ironing board cover. The pressing cloth is freely movable between an extended position on the ironing board cover and a position substantially removed from the ironing board but remaining connected to the cover on the ironing board.
