how to remove adhesive from ironing board?
ahrizel Beginner PA Member since 4/22/12 Posts: 295	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/30/13 3:11 PM I did it again. Ironed on the wonder under on the fabric, the piece was too big and adhesive is stuck to the ironing board cover. The cover is cotton, new of course, and it seems to be stuck but good. I can't be the only person who has done this and would love some help. Mary

Get one of those green scrubbies (the flat rectangle ones) and rub it over the surface when the board is cold and dry. Takes a while but it works. ------ ~ Debby

If you're lucky, the adhesive will attach to the paper and you can carefully peel it off while still warm. I always use 2 teflon sheets (one under and one over) just in case, but someone else fused interfacing not only to the metal plate of my press, but also the cotton cover!! ------ chris Melbourne

The other fabric usually sucks it right up. A Magic Eraser also does a good job. ------ http://lasewist.blogspot.com/
