Ironing accessories organizer

Abstract

An ironing accessories organizer comprised of a plastic rectangle-shaped container attachable to a household type ironing board. The container incorporates a feature for holding a refreshment container such as a can, bottle, or cup. The remainder of the container holds various types and sizes of ironing accessories, such as aerosol cans, spray water bottles and other ironing accessories. The ironing accessory organizer is attachable and detachable to an ironing board by a flexible strapping that is attached to one end of the plastic container and passes under the ironing board top and buckles to another section of strapping on the opposite side of the ironing board. The strap is adjustable in length to facilitate use on various widths of ironing boards. Because the strapping is attached to the container at the top edge of the sides, it can be buckled together above the container to create a carrying strap for the container. When not attached to an ironing board, the ironing accessory organizer can be used as a storage container for various ironing accessories.
