IKEA LAGT permits machine washing its removable slipcover at up to 40°C, but not tumble drying or bleaching. Do not assume the included padding has identical wash instructions.

Before washing a stained ironing board, check whether its cover is removable. LAGT (803.425.75) uses a drawstring cotton slipcover over separate polyester-based padding. IKEA's washing instruction specifically identifies the slipcover; everything must be dry before ironing.

0 / 6 done

Switch off and unplug the iron; let the soleplate and ironing board cool completely.
Check the article number and care label. The 40°C instruction for LAGT 803.425.75 applies to its slipcover.
Loosen the drawstring and remove the cover. Keep the separate padding out unless its own label explicitly allows washing.
Machine-wash the LAGT cover on a normal cycle at up to 40°C. Do not bleach.
Do not tumble dry. Air-dry thoroughly before refitting the cover to the board.
When dry, align the padding, refit the cover and tighten the drawstring until the surface is smooth and secure.
