Video Transcript

"We've gone through everything. We've gone through set up. We've showed you some tricks and some ways to iron things that you probably never even thought of. We went through all of our equipment and what your going to need. Now I want to leave you with just one more thing. Putting everything away. Now I know your tired and you been standing on your feet for all of this time ironing. You want to go sit down and like watch Gray's Anatomy or whatever. But before that, put away your iron. Its really important. I know its kind of a tendency to just put it in the corner. But you know what happens then. Thats when the cats jump up and it leaves fur and all kinds of mess. Or your husband comes home and he eats his dinner while talking on the phone, and puts it down on the pad. Then what do you have? You have a mess all over again. You have to wash that pad one more time. So put your iron away. Just put it in the same place every time, put it away. Also your iron. Definitely put that away. Make sure its unplugged, of course. Then drain the water out of it. Coil it up and put it in your same place. Don't put it up too high. Cause if its high, it could like fall down and knock you on the head. Knock you unconscious. Put it some place safe. Next, the corn starch that I made, you can keep this. You can shake it up hen you need it. But put it some place safe. I put it in a place on a shelf up high where kids can't get at it. You can save this for a little bit. As far as the steamer goes; steamers get really, incredibly hot. Like, I've turned this off and its still hot to the touch now. Its water and its electricity, you don't want to leave it plugged in. And you don't want to leave this water in there. Actually, dump it out and get new water each time. Because you want the water coming out and doing the steaming to be fresh. So its important to store this. Don't leave it out either, because you know somebody could get up in the middle of the night and poke their eye out with that. So put this away too. its really important. Plus it just helps; you'll be able to keep these things longer if you preserve them and put them away. I've had a lot of fun sharing my ironing time with you!"
