Troubleshooting
Tablecloth has persistent creases
Lay the tablecloth flat on a protected surface and gently iron the reverse side on a low heat setting. Ensure you do not iron the coated side directly. Alternatively, leave it spread out on the table for several days.
Stubborn stains on the surface
For tough stains, use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently rub the stained area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Coating appears to be peeling or damaged
This can happen with excessive heat or abrasive cleaning. Discontinue use of harsh cleaners or high heat. Minor damage may not affect usability, but significant peeling may require replacement.
