I got some HF moving blankets and thought they would be good to keep my machines clean

Use plastic drop cloths. Apparently ‘humidity’ falls. When it falls and lands on cast iron, it causes rust. I discovered this quite by accident when I came back to my place in Maine and was not too surprised to find the cast iron top to my BS totally covered in rust (although I had waxed it 9 months earlier). It was rusty everyplace EXCEPT one section where I had left some random sheet of plastic. There was NO rust and there was a very fine line between the covered and uncovered sections. Been using this method ever since, probably ten years now…

Cloth drop cloths will absorb the moisture and pass it on to the iron. It also makes a nice home for Mice and mouse pee…
