An ironing board is a flat, padded surface used for pressing clothes to remove wrinkles. It typically has a metal frame that can be adjusted to different heights for comfort. The top is covered with a heat-resistant fabric, allowing for effective ironing with a clothes iron. Ironing boards come in various sizes and styles, including foldable models for easy storage. Some boards have additional features like built-in steam vents or storage racks for irons and other accessories. They are essential tools in maintaining the appearance of garments and ensuring they look neat and presentable.
