Where may irons be stored?

• A. Sink countertop
• B. Top of refrigerator
• C. Granite counter next to micro-fridge
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The key idea is storing irons in safe, approved spots where they won’t tip, fall, or stay hot around others. If the iron is completely cooled and unplugged, common surfaces in a small space can be used: a sink countertop with a heat-resistant pad protects the surface, the top of the refrigerator offers a high, out-of-the-way spot, and a granite counter next to the micro-fridge provides a stable, non-porous surface. Since each location can be made safe by cooling the iron and keeping it out of reach of moisture and clutter, all of the above are acceptable storage options.
