Originally, I had bought an ironing board Brabantia with a classic cover. After 5 years, it began to wear on the cutting edge of the table. I had the choice of replacing it with a cover of the same type or the more expensive cover. Well, I do not regret this investment. The Fleece "high-tech" is remarkably effective: no puddle on the ground and the metal grid under the table is not even wet after two hours of ironing! By scoffers, this fleece is very pleasant during ironing as it is much thicker than a conventional fleece. I think when my cover will be worn, I can just change it without buying a new fleece. Finally, it should be noted that the fixing of the cover and the fleece to the table is a cinch. A unique drawstring with a maintenance accessory + transverse elastic tension sufficient to maintain all perfectly in place. It sounds almost too simple. Would recommend to all table owners Brabantia using steam-power plant.
