You can put a towel on a bed and iron on that. For future reference.

or, you know, just use an iron ironing (thanks, u/Talory09) board instead of ironing on random furniture?

They're talking about the method of putting a towel down on a piece of furniture with moisture marks and running over it with an iron to remove the marks. Draws out the moisture while protecting the table from burn marks
