"The next secret tip that I am going to share with you is adding a piece of aluminum foil to your ironing board. What this does is it actually conducts the heat from your iron so it is like you are getting an iron on both sides. Saving time. So what I am going to do is I am going to go ahead and get some aluminum foil. And I am going to add it up under my board. Smooth it out a little bit and then I am going to undo my cover here. Reattached and you will see once you start ironing and making it very warm you will see the heat coming back up in the pad. And that is neat because it is like you are getting a double dose of heat. So you can actually leave this in every time you iron so it is already set. Now if you are like me and you wash cover many different times you can add a new piece of you want to. But there really isn't a reason to. If you want to you can. Now we have a warm surface from both sides and you are going to see how much time you save doing that. And I think we are ready to start ironing."
