A recent article in the Badger Herald detailed the importance of dressing in professional attire as you search for employment.

The writer said that wearing an ironed shirt is just as important as carrying your resume to a job fair or to an interview. She found out the hard way.

"I entered [a career fair] wearing a wrinkled t-shirt and flip-flops, soon to find a swarm of intimidating upperclassmen in suits, confidently walking from table to table," she wrote, later adding: "Needless to say, I was a clueless job-seeking amateur."

A wrinkle-free shirt lets the employer know that you are organized and professional. Brabantia's items take ironing to a new level with their attention to detail and functionality. You can choose from ironing boards in a variety of sizes and an ample selection of covers that will snugly fit the surface of the product.

The board covers are available in either 100 percent durable cotton with foam backing or heat reflecting material, which is made of metallised cotton for faster ironing. The elegant designs featured on the covers include flowers, birds and leaves.

Columbus Day is just around the corner and, for many parents, the holiday marks a homecoming weekend of sorts.

Considering that Columbus Day is the first federal holiday of the fall, millions of college students may be making their first trek home of the semester, and with that visit can come a whole lot of dirty laundry. For many young adults, washing loads of laundry at home can be cost-efficient and, in some cases, a way to get mom or dad to lend a hand.

According to the Keene Equinox, officials at a New Hampshire-based laundry service said that students are apt to let their laundry pile up because of their busy schedules.

"It's difficult for students who have classes all day long, have extra-curriculars, study, do homework," Mike Vitone, a co-owner of the laundry service, told the news source. "The only time they are able to do laundry is at night, and everybody's doing laundry at night."

Parents who are preparing for an influx of dirty laundry may consider Brabantia laundry care products, which are backed by a manufacturer guarantee for superior quality. Brabantia offers a variety of ironing boards to accommodate your height and stylistic preference.
 

Ironing is often a hassle, but it can be especially tedious if multiple family members of different heights frequently use the ironing board. The height can be a problem, because it can suit one person fine, but other users will have to hunch or stand in an uncomfortable position.

In particular, community ironing boards, such as those used in apartments or common rooms, present this problem, since they are usually only suitable for a few residents, while everyone else has to bend at an angle to iron.

Other boards can be too narrow for some clothes, causing garments to slip off the surface, forcing users to constantly rearrange their clothing to better press down on the wrinkles.

Luckily, the Brabantia ironing board comes with features that can solve all of these problems. It boasts four adjustable heights, from 2.5 to 3.1 feet, so different family members or roommates can all use it safely and comfortably.

The broad, flat end of this product is ideal for smoothing out the wrinkles of any clothing quickly and effectively. It also features locks that will secure the product’s legs both during the ironing process and when it is ready to be folded and placed back into a closet or laundry room.

Whether you’re rushing to work in the morning or taking the time to dress up for a formal occasion, there’s always a need for the painful task of ironing. This can take valuable time out of the day and, with most ironing boards, involves maneuvering around corners and trying not to burn things with the iron while struggling to keep clothes on the board.

Ironing can be needlessly stressful. However, a new ironing board may have a significant effect on frustration, especially one as refined as the Brabantia ironing board.

This Brabantia product includes innovative features that few other boards possess.

One end is designed to accommodate shirts and the other is made to support pants to prevent clothes from slipping, and all of the boards are available with an iron parking space. These unique additions allow you to rest an iron on either side of the board, so whether you are left handed or right handed you will be able to easily park your iron in a safe place.

With four adjustable heights, the Brabantia ironing board also supports those who wish to sit down while they iron. Its secure locking mechanisms ensure stability, so you can sit on a bed or in front of the TV while doing this chore.
