Care of your Tablecloth

With a little care your wipe clean tablecloth should give you many years of service. We recommend you follow the care instructions below.

 

• Always use with the coated side up. If you have purchased a design which makes it difficult to determine which side is coated we recommend you make a discreet mark on the underside of the cloth.
  
  
• Certain food and drinks e.g. Red Wine, curry, tomato based sauces etc. may contain strong colourants and should be wiped away immediately.
  
  
• If spills have dried onto the cloth, wipe with a damp sponge (do not scrub as this may force the spill through the coating). Alternatively, try diluting the stain by spraying the area with water, then soak up with kitchen paper.
  
  
  
• We do not recommend the use cleaning products other than soapy water. (Tip: neat Fairy Liquid is very good for loosening dried-on stains).
  
  
  
• Your cloth can be washed occasionally by hand or on a 30° machine wash - do not spin - line dry.
  
  
  
• After washing and drying, it is important to iron (medium heat: 2 dot setting) on the underside of the fabric as this helps to preserve the protective coating.
  
  

 

Your tablecloth is designed to withstand stains from most food and liquids yet, like any textile it is not indestructible! Some non-food items such as ink, nail varnish, lipstick and shoe polish may permanently mark the fabric. Avoid the use of bleach or any abrasive cleaning products.
