Care of your Tablecloth
Thank you for purchasing one of our acrylic coated, wipe clean table coverings.
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 suggest you make a small mark on the reverse of the cloth.
- Certain food and drinks e.g. Red wine, curry, tomato based sauces etc. may contain strong colourants and should be wiped up 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. (Tip: neat Fairy Liquid is very good for dried-on stains).
- Most fabric manufacturers do not recommend using cleaning products other than soapy water. However, the occasional use of a bleach and alcohol free anti-bacterial cleansing spray will not adversely affect the coating. Do not use bleach or fabric softener as these can damage the coating.
- Your tablecloth can be washed occasionally, by hand or on a 30 degree wash in a washing machine. Do not spin. Line dry. Do not tumble dry.
- After washing and drying, it is important to iron (medium heat: 2 dot setting) on the non coated reverse side as this helps to preserve the protective coating.
The increased adoption of eco-friendly processes in textile production, such as the use of recycled fibres and bleach-free procedures, may occasionally result in small dark flecks appearing in the fabric. These flecks are a natural characteristic of the material and reflect its sustainable origins. Embracing these unique features not only highlights the commitment to environmentally conscious practices but also adds to the individuality of each piece.
