FAQs
What material is the tablecloth made from?
The tablecloth is made from high-quality acrylic, designed for durability and ease of cleaning.
How do I clean this tablecloth?

What are the dimensions of the tablecloth?
The tablecloth measures 132cm in width and 178cm in length (52 x 70 inches).
Is this tablecloth suitable for outdoor use?
While the wipe-clean surface is practical, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions may damage the acrylic and fade the colours. It is best suited for indoor dining.
Can I iron this tablecloth?
Yes, you can iron it on a low heat setting on the reverse side only. Avoid ironing directly on the printed surface.
What is the 'Strawberry Thief' pattern?
It is one of William Morris's most famous and intricate designs, originally created in 1883, depicting thrushes stealing strawberries from a garden.

Troubleshooting
Tablecloth has creases from storage.
Iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side only, or lay flat and allow it to naturally relax on the table.
A stubborn stain has appeared.
Gently rub the stain with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
The tablecloth seems to be fading.
Ensure the tablecloth is not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause colours to fade over time. Store it away from direct light when not in use.
The material feels stiff.
This is normal for acrylic materials. The drape will improve with use and proper care. Gentle hand washing can also help soften the material.
