Fun Fact: Speed up your ironing time with... aluminum foil!

When you iron clothing, a lot of the iron's heat is sucked up by the board itself- requiring you to make several passes to remove wrinkles. To speed things up, put a piece of aluminum foil under your ironing board cover. The foil will reflect the heat back through the clothing, smoothing the wrinkles quicker!
