They are easy to use, even for people with arthritis or limited arm and hand movement. -
Step 2: for both old and young.

Be forewarned that if they have small pets, the cats and dogs will probably claim the sheepskin pad as their official napping mat! , Plus, as we get older and wiser there is less and less items that we feel we have to iron.
Putting up and taking down those large clumsy ironing boards, just to iron a collar on a shirt, is not easy. , A fleece blanket is lightweight, easy to fold, easy to wash, and will keep them warm and comfy on those long, lonely winter nights. ,, Again, these are great for those who have had to downsize their homes or who can't easily get outside to hang up items on the outdoor clothesline.
