This cute little cover is great for both home and travel. You can immediately pack away your iron without the wait for it to cool down. The insulated linings inside also protect curious little hands. Just tuck your iron in the case and then put the cord in its own little pocket and you are done. These covers are also great for bridesmaids gifts, birthday gifts, or for Christmas. Each cover is fully lined with a protective heat-resistant material. The lining is made from a silver, heat resistant material similar to that used on ironing boards. Each cover also closes with a velcro tab - no plastic to melt or metal that might get hot. It measures 14" long by 5" wide and will hold most curling irons or flat irons. Washing machine safe, cold water and tumble dry. Safety warning: Curling iron should be unplugged BEFORE placing in the case. Always unplug when not in use.
