Cleaning
All the oilcloths and linen acrylics are designed to be wiped clean using a damp cloth and mild detergent directly after use or as soon as possible after a spill. In most cases this is sufficient to keep them clean, however we all know life doesn’t always go according to plan so here are some tips for stains that have been left to dry on:

Cream cleaner: We find a small amount of jif cream cleaner is good for most stubborn stains.
Washing Machine: If the underside gets sticky finger marks or gets dirty over time the oilcloths can be put on a cold wash every now and then, but be aware that this can cause curling of the edges and if done too often, it will deteriorate the pvc coating. We would not recommend washing the danish gloss oilcloth as they can crease and the linen acrylic should never be washed in a machine.

Most stains will fade over time.

DO NOT DRY CLEAN ANY OF THE OILCLOTH OR LINEN ACRYLIC RANGE

Has your cloth developed creases?
To remove creases, the material may be ironed on the reverse side (the uncoated side) with a cool iron. The Linen Acrylic cannot be ironed but if left flat in a warm room all the creases should fall out after a day or so.

Outside use
Many people have oilcloths as outdoor tablecloths and they are great for this use. Some things to remember though: the tablecloths should not be left outside for prolonged periods after use to prevent the underneath (non-wipeable side) of the tablecloth from getting wet and dirty and the colour from fading too quickly.
