Abstract

An apparatus and methods of use for ironing board cover with a heat-resistant and waterproof panel attached to the cover, the panel having a base surface with a continuous brim and a plurality of protuberances capable of supporting an iron. The brim and the base surface form a basin. The protuberances create a gap between the iron and the base surface so that steam can condense onto the panel within the basin to be retained within the panel by the brim. The steam can also dissipate into the ambient atmosphere.
