Irons and Ironing Accessories UK 

By  Enda McLarnon

Thanks for taking your time to read our detailed information about laundry and ironing accessories. We also include many accessories that we found to be useful for anyone with a utility room, that they use primarily for laundry purposes.

Most UK buyers will be aware of washing machines, tumble dryers, steam irons, steam generator irons, steam presses, and garment steamers. These are all popular items for laundry and the various types of ironing choices.

All of the above can be improved if you have the right accessories. That is what we explain on this page, and you may be surprised at the wide range of products that are available.

Other Ironing Options

Most people will be familiar with the steam iron, the steam generator iron, ironing presses and garment steamers. There are however a few other, more unorthodox options that appear to suit some people. We have included those below.

Iron & Ironing Board Storage

Storing irons and ironing boards can be a real pain in the butt. These are bulky and quickly use up space in a cupboard. Unless you are fortunate enough to have some type of utility room, then the options are limited. The good news is that there are some really useful options which we have included below.

Iron Cleaners

Most of the modern irons do have some form of automatic cleaning function. The steam generator iron typically uses a filter or a cartridge, but there may be times when the sole of the iron gets dirty, if for example, you accidentally iron a transfer on a t-shirt. There are some useful iron cleaners available and you can read about those below.
