Ways to Reduce

Buy a Used Ironing Board

Ironing boards last a long time, so save resources by picking up a used one. Thrift stores often sell gently used ironing boards, or you can find one on a local reselling website or app such as Nextdoor, Craigslist, Freecycle or OfferUp.

Skip Ironing Entirely

There are lots of methods to de-wrinkle your clothes without an ironing board. Sometimes all you need is a clothes hanger and a spray bottle of warm water to get those wrinkles out. Check out more tips from The Spruce to get your clothes looking fresh and presentable.

Ways to Reuse

Donate to a Thrift Store

If your ironing board is clean and in working condition, consider donating it or giving it away.
