"Now the first thing that I want to do is I want to show you the materials that you're going to need to iron. The first thing I like to do is I like to make sure that I am in an area that is well lit. Why? Well, that way I can see that everything really did get ironed, and if there was any like stains or things from the laundry that I didn't see before, I can actually see them when things are well lit. So, well-lit area is really important. Next, you're going to need a board. Now, there's all kinds of boards that you could use. Some boards; they go over your door, some are those little boards that you can kind of put onto a table. As long as the surface is flat, that's fine. I prefer this one, because it's really important to me that the board has four stoppers on its legs. Now this is good because you know things come along, cats, children, and you want to make sure your board is really sturdy, and that the iron, or what you're doing is not going to fall off, and the worst thing is after you've ironed a bunch of clothes, to have them knocked over, and then you have to iron all over again. So, a sturdy board is very important. This board is great, because it has an iron catch right over here, and what this allows me to do is to keep my iron down for the same reasons that I mentioned before about the cats, or the kids, or a stray husband looking for his remote control coming and knocking things over. It's good to keep your iron flat at all times, if you can. Also, I have with me my spray bottles, my water bottles. We'll get to that a little bit later, but once you have everything set up, you'll see that it's it's just going to save you so much more time than running back and forth, to the kitchen, to the laundry room, to get your supplies. We want to make things quick, we want to make things fun, we want to make things easy. So, come on, let's get ironing."
