<p>This invention relates to a specially constructed ironing board having a hollow interior space between a non-porous base member and a plurality of upper layers. Transverse spacing members between the base member and the upper layers permit air flow into the hollow space and through an air withdrawal conduit that leads into a moisture trap. A separate exit pipe from the moisture trap provides a hookup to a vacuum cleaner. The suction of the vacuum cleaner maintains the air flow.</p>
