Not very often - it doesn't break down - as nothing is really touching it. However - if you feel it is breaking down - change it.

Good tip! My mother does this with her ironing board. Me, I don't iron. LOL I have one of those small table top boards that I may try this with. Enjoy your voucher

I have a feeling that every has been thought of before. We just seem to be recycling the ideas. Maybe a few generations later.

Good one Shirlene. Here in Aus we have ironing board covers made from a special reflective material and I won't use anything else.
I absolutely loathe ironing!!!

good tip...also if you are done take a small piece of stick and replace the torn out piece...works for at least 5 or 6 or more times times before you have to replace with a new sheet.This was taught to me about 15 years ago.
