Hi , am using quite a strong philips steam iron. Gotten two different ironing board but after two or three irons , water mark appears on my cloths as the steam condenses underneath the iron board. Anyone mind recommending any good ironing board or a solution to this please.

Thanks !

watermark could be because your water is dirty?

This is what I use currently.....

Sorry if I added the above link wrongly from the brabantia website.

It used to hold my steam generator iron before it got spoilt.

Now just using a steam iron.

thanks was eyeing on this as well. have purchased it, hopefully it holds condensation well. read its quite sturdy as well.

Don't use tap water, use distilled water instead. It prevents limescale formation at vents because distilled water has zero mineral. As for water mark, I can only think of two possible reasons, either your tap water is too hard or the cleanliness of the board cover. Try use only distilled water and change a new colorless board cover. Also don't forget to descale ( press descale button on your iron) your Philips iron first before pouring in distilled water. Once you start using distilled water, you will never need to descale your steam iron again.
Get the distilled water from AEON or AEON Big @ 90sen per 1.5l bottle.

i was actually referring to the cloths getting wet due to water condensation forming under the ironing board and foam. (probably thin foam or lousy iron board design). have ordered a new ironing board, hope it will help.

but thanks for the advice. will get some distilled water to reduce limescale build up
