Because it's the underside of the Fitz Like A Glove™ Ironing Board Cover that makes it special.

 

And the reason you're here is because you’re looking for a really good ironing board cover.

 

I suspect your requirements are pretty simple. You want a cover to fit whatever size your board is. To fit perfectly, regardless of what you’re ironing. You don’t want it to ever move, ride up, wrinkle, crease, and curl its toes up when you’re putting the finishing touches on your best garment or heritage quilt. You like colour, but definitely don’t want it to bleed on anything you own. You might not wash your cover frequently, but when you do, you don’t want it to fall apart. So the fabric has to be pretty special. And you don’t want to throw it away every few months and have to buy another one.

 

Am I right?

 

Everyone needs a good ironing board cover. And you don’t deserve the rubbish the retail stores force on you.

 

So how does this sound to you? The Fitz Like A Glove Ironing Board Cover fits your board perfectly. It never moves, it lasts for an obscene length of time, it looks fabulous on your board and it makes ironing a breeze. Owning this cover is a 100% win situation for you because it fits all your criteria. And we’ve guaranteed all of the above since 1994.

 

Not only that, but it’s made with love and care in rural Australia by men and women who have a disability. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that your purchase gives back to them a strong sense of self-worth.

 

But the devil is in the detail, isn’t it?

 

So keep on reading about why we always show off our bottom. It’s a good read.

 

Products that excel, earn their reputation with mechanical know how as well as style. Just like a high performance Aston Martin or Ferrari, there's a lot going on under the bonnet of this ironing board cover to make your ironing smooth and trouble free.

 

Why do other cover manufacturers only show you the top? Because there's nothing under the bonnet. It's the same old elastic or drawstring round the edges, which never really stops the cover from wrinkling. Does it? It's just more of the same.

 

A breakthrough came when an architect, Victor Pleshev, heard his mother's plea for a cover that would never wrinkle and stay on her board. Using his 25 years of design and construction experience, he saw a simple solution. Add a crisscross, elastic tension system under the cover.

 

This is the best part.

 

Only seconds to secure, no lacing or struggling with draw strings. Simply crisscross the elastic tension system over 4 hooks, and the cover never moves or wrinkles because it's self adjusting. Stays drum tight even when pressing sheets, tablecloths, quilts - or any large item. Don't worry. Your board folds up and down as easily as before.

 

So far so good, but what about the facts? Click here for details.  Or read on for the short version. Don't worry you can come back here anytime you like.

 

What else will you like?

 

1. The fabric. Its tough, 100% pure cotton drill for smooth ironing and a long, long life. Fabrics that are part synthetic won't stand high heat and leave black residue on your iron.

2. No garish patterns. Plain, colourfast colours won't stain your clothes or wash out. And always look smart on your board. Printed patterns are rarely colourfast and are often part synthetic.

3. One standard size fits all popular boards from: 32cm wide x 120 cm long (13"x 48") to 46cm wide x 139cm long (18"x 56") and everything in between. The tension system is self adjusting for a drum tight fit.

4. We can still help if your board is smaller or larger. Ask us. We make covers to fit any size board.

5. Our covers don't have padding sewn in so they never get lumpy. We only recommend and sell the best quality, compressed felt sheet to give a smoother ironing surface. And you won't need new padding with every cover.

6. Need a place to store your clothes brush, spray bottle or iron cleaner in easy reach? The pouch the cover comes in turns into a great storage solution.

 

Wrinkle free, trouble free, profanity free ironing makes this cover a joy to use. So give it a try.

 

You get  four  essential guarantees. At $40.95+p&h, it's absolutely risk free.

 

1 A 100% unconditional refund, including postage, if you're not happy.

2 Guaranteed against wear and tear for 12 months (lots are going strong after 5 years).

3 Guaranteed to be not only colourfast, but rub fast as well.

4 And most important; the fit is guaranteed for the life of the cover.

Protecting our customers since 1994.

 

A lot of people have put their heart and soul into this cover. The design, quality and customer service is as good as we can make it. But the real heroes are the men and women with disabilities who manufacture the cover. They're the ones who make sure that you get the best product possible.

 

We strongly recommend our superior felt underlay as the perfect partner to the Fitz Like A Glove™ Cover. You'll never have a better ironing surface and there's no extra postage.

How many people trust this product?

More than 300,000 and growing each day.

 

In 2005, we celebrated the fact that we had 100,000 customers around the world.  To be honest, we were pretty chuffed, especially as we never expected to have even one customer.

 

But measuring number of customers can be deceiving.  What if they only purchase once, and never come back?  That’s definitely nothing to celebrate.

 

We think the number of our repeat orders is a much more important measurement.

 

Trawling through my detailed database, I discovered we not only have a substantial number of repeat orders, but extensive family trees.

 

This is a snippet of how this business has grown from no customers to 100,000+ all over the world.

 

Pat from Queensland is a customer from the 1994 Queensland Country Life Mail Order Catalogue.  Her family buying tree includes three daughters, two sisters and one niece.  And she’s celebrating the successful sale of their farm and the start of their retirement with a brand, spanking new Fitz Like A Glove™ Ironing Board Cover, Superior Felt Underlay and Best Boy Pressing Cloth.

 

Trish from the Blue Mountains includes two daughters, one son and a suitcase packed with Fitz Like A Glove™ Ironing Board Covers for her trip to the UK.

 

Evelyn from the Central West of NSW purchased her first cover from us at the Orange Field Days in 1995.  She’s introduced five sisters and a nephew to our products.  And rings if her yearly catalogue doesn’t arrive on time.

 

Richard, a solicitor from Sydney, is a prolific referral tree, circa 1995.  His son, two daughters, two family friends and three of his law partners are all solid customers.

 

And Esther from the Riverina NSW has her mother, all her sisters, many in-laws and her parish priest trusting her advice.

 

This is a smidgen of this week’s mailbag.

 

Lorraine faxes me her 7th order in 4 years.  More gifts for her family.

 

Louise telephones with her 3rd order in 2 years.  The first for her, the second for her sister, and now one for her mother.

 

Michael is back with his second order in nine months.  A pair of Travel Bug Shoe Bags and a Mr Chin’s Laundry Bag for his overseas trip.

 

Barbara, from Sydney, has faxed me her 5th order since 2002.  Every member of her family has at least two of our products.

 

Nerralyn purchased her first cover at the Town Hall Bridal Fair in 1995.  Today she downloaded an order form from the internet and put together an order for herself and her co-workers.  There are several Fitz Like A Glove™ Covers with Superior Felt Underlay and Best Boy Pressing Cloths, some Mr Chin’s Laundry Bags and some Travel Bug Shoe Bags.

 

And Gai from Rylstone NSW, who purchased her first cover 5 days ago, is back with an order for a Log Lugger for her parents and a Brass Bristle Brush for herself and one for a friend.  The PS on her order says, .…”Thank you Carol and Victor.  The ironing board cover is fantastic!!”

 

This isn’t about numbers.  It’s all about trust.  And to us, it’s a much more important measurement than how many customers we have.

 

Facts, Facts, Facts.

Fabric Facts: We use 190 gsm (grams per square metre) cotton drill, solid colour, dyed to be colour fast. Cotton drill has a diagonal weave, which means that the fabric is resistant to distortion. Cross woven fabrics have less resistance to stretching and become baggy quickly. Weight is important too. A typical supermarket cover weighs 75 to 90 gsm and less weight means much less durability.

 

Why not synthetic fabrics? The highest setting on your iron is for linen and cotton and that's what your cover should be. You wouldn't iron synthetic fabrics on a cotton heat setting, so why use a cover that can't take the heat.

 

What about colour? If it's not colour fast then the dye will end up on your clothes. If the fabric is printed rather than dyed through, there is more chance of the dye rubbing off on your clothes. Check the instructions. If it says "wash before use" it will almost certainly run. We choose our colours very carefully. We make sure that dye doesn't rub off. And because you will have your cover for a long time, it must be easy to live with. So they're all plain, rich colours, which are never out of fashion.

 

Other Facts: All up, there are 20 components which make up this cover and every piece has been tested and sourced to last the distance. As well as the fabric, there's the tension cord, which is made of 12 separate, very fine elastic strands bound with a woven polyester casing. The resulting 3mm diameter composite elastic cord has remarkable stretch and recovery, is fully washable and snag resistant.

 

There is also a 9mm perimeter elastic, which is woven (because it's stronger) not knitted . We go to the trouble of threading this elastic through the skirt hem rather than sewing it in like other covers. This leaves your cover free to slide over this elastic, adjusting out all the wrinkles. While the tension cord keeps the cover smooth on top, this elastic makes sure that the cover hugs your board evenly round the perimeter.

 

There are 11 tough anchor points for the tension cord. 9 of these are made of 8mm, tubular, woven cotton cording and the 2 end points are made of 32mm woven cotton webbing. Into each end point we insert a brass eyelet with washer to take the end of the tension cord. Brass so that it doesn't rust and the washers make sure that the eyelets don't pull out.

 

The tension cord is hooked over 4 polypropylene curtain glides used as hooks. Chosen for their durability and ease of use these curtain glides make ideal attachment points. They can be handled easily by people with hand problems and once attached, the mushroom stud makes sure that the tension cord stays in place until released.

 

Australian Made Facts: Our covers are made in the Central Tablelands of NSW, by men and women who have disabilities . They are sewn with 5 thread, industrial overlockers for an absolutely secure finish. Our sewers make sure that every anchor point is caught with all 5 threads, the tension cord is tied off with triple knots and the perimeter elastic is tied with a 75mm tail for a safe finish.

 

Each cover is checked 3 times. Twice in the factory and once by us before we dispatch. If it's not as perfect as we can get it, we don't send it.

 

What's in it for You?

 

Lets say that you're the CEO of a large business-how would you judge The Fitz Like A Glove™ Ironing Board Cover.

 

Increased Productivity: Every CEO's dream. Get more done in less time. No messy wrinkles to get in the way. No tugging and pulling the cover back into place. No creased underfelt. Always drum tight. All you do is iron. Save 25% to 30% of your valuable time.

 

Decreased Cost: Makes the bean counters smile. On average people buy about four supermarket covers per year. At $8.00 per cover the average ironer spends $32.00 every year on covers. The Fitz Like A Glove™ Cover costs $40.95 but over it's three year average life the supermarket ironer would end up spending about $96.00. More than halve your costs.

 

Decrease Stress: As any CEO knows, stress in the workplace leads to reduced productivity. You will find The Fitz Like A Glove™ Cover a profanity free ironing surface. It may even reduce your blood pressure.

 

You get a lot more done on a better product for less than half the cost!
