Thanks for the replies. The one I have on my ironing board has threads sticking to the surface from starching. I don't like to use my "quilting" cover when I am ironing slacks, blouses, etc.
I was afraid to wash it until now, for fear of damaging the washer..LOL

I wash mine until they fall apart, then I wash them some more! lol
When the holes get so big that ironing is a problem, I leave them on for extra padding and cover them with another.
I need to make one soon, mine is worn out again!
I have found that making a baking soda and water paste and rubbing it into the stains and letting it sit for awhile helps get some of the brown stains out.

I just use them until they are shot and throw them away.
(wash them? there just aren't enough hours in the day and they aren't that expensive to replace---I have to add that I saw a darling cover made out of Dolly Dingle fabric at a recent class I attended that someone had made.......)
