The invention pertains to an ironing system including an ironing board and an iron operated on a top surface of the ironing board in the process of ironing a fabric on the ironing board. Included in the system is a device for keeping the electric cord of the electric iron a distance above the ironing board so that the electric cord cannot interfere with a fabric that already has been ironed. The device also keeps the electric cord of the iron from being singed or burned by the hot sole of the iron. The device includes a tensioned coil spring through which the electric cord passes to the iron as it is kept in an elevated position. The coils of the tension coil spring are close and adjacent to each when the coil spring is in a rest position. A slight extension of the tension coil spring will induce a retracting force in the spring so that the electric cord will be withdrawn into the tension spring coil and away from the iron.
