How to care for the product
“Liquid glass” requires simple care. It should be wiped with a damp microfiber cloth or soft cloth.
Fleecy fabric is not suitable for caring for the surface of the tablecloth; it will leave marks. It is not recommended to use powders and products containing alkali, chlorine and acid for cleaning. Their use will significantly reduce the life of the tablecloth.
To remove an old grease stain on an adhesive film on the table, you need to apply a small amount of dishwashing detergent to it and leave it for a few minutes. Then the surface is wiped with a soft cloth.
Oval tabletop: coating rules
Most often, a round table is folded out to increase the free space, so it is recommended to choose an oval cover or a rectangular universal product. The calculation is carried out using the following method:
- the diameters of the tabletop are measured (large and small);
- to each figure is added the double value of the free edge, which, of course, corresponds to the event;
- the required dimensions for the oval coating element are obtained.

Generally accepted standards
When choosing the most suitable option, you need to consider several nuances:
- textile markets and shops usually offer tablecloths of medium standard sizes. So, it is better to take a larger one so as not to make a mistake in the choice;
- It is appropriate to cover non-standard pieces of furniture (tables and chairs) with a cloth, the edge of which hangs below the level of the legs and seats;
- beautiful sets with fluffy “skirts” are sold for buffets and banquets;
- for sliding furniture, it is better to buy two tablecloths at once;
- The size of the finished product directly depends on the degree of possible shrinkage during washing, so you should slightly increase the length values.

When decorating a festive feast, it is very important not only to decide on the menu and cutlery, but also to pay maximum attention to the textiles involved in the decoration.
You can stylishly emphasize the texture of the table by highlighting areas of its surface using a runner.
Often this type of textile is also called a tablecloth runner.
Fabric selection
The service life of a kitchen tablecloth directly depends on the quality and practicality of the material for its manufacture. For this reason, you should first pay attention to this factor.
Most often, kitchen linens are divided into two types:
- Daily (for every day) are made from more affordable and practical raw materials, usually equipped with moisture-resistant Teflon or acrylic compounds. They serve as decoration, beneficially complementing the interior and style of the kitchen space. It is better if the fabric does not wrinkle and is easy to care for.
- More elegant festive elements are decorated with additional accessories, used exclusively for special events. There are products with a themed theme: Christmas, Easter, birthday, children's party or wedding celebration.
Fabric for daily use offers functionality and increased performance. Here are the most popular options:
Since ancient times, oilcloth has been a popular covering without being a textile. You can buy both transparent and thick tablecloths from oilcloth. Visually, it is not entirely aesthetic, but it perfectly protects the surface from everyday stains, damage and dirt. Moreover, this is a cheaper budget option that saves the family budget.
Practical and relatively cheap polyester, unlike oilcloth, has a more interesting and varied design. The exterior is decorated with patterns and ornaments. The material is easy to wash, clean from dirt, does not wrinkle and is quite suitable for serving for every day, fitting into any style.
The soft folds of cascading cotton make the table an incredibly cozy feature. The kitchen is supplied with cotton material impregnated with a special water-repellent composition, which protects it from stains and damage. The fabric is easy and convenient to wash in warm water and place hot dishes on it. Please note that frequent washing leads to rapid thinning of the threads and wear of the raw materials.
Currently, silicone tablecloths are gaining popularity, being an excellent replacement for traditional textiles. The coating protects the tabletop well from mechanical damage and contamination, keeping the furniture in perfect condition. But, usually, it is used not for decoration, but for practical purposes.
