Wipe Clean Water Motif Tablecloth

A tablecloth that survives actual family meals. The Oxford weave is treated so that spills bead on the surface long enough to be wiped away rather than soaking straight through into the fabric, which is the difference between a cloth you use and one you keep folded in a drawer for special occasions. The motif is a soft rippling water pattern, quiet enough to sit under any tableware you already own.

Nine sizes are offered, which is unusually generous and means you can actually fit your table rather than settling for the nearest approximation. The 40 x 70cm piece works as a runner or a console cloth. The mid sizes suit a standard four to six seat table, and the longest at 140 x 300cm covers a full-length dining table with the 25 to 30cm of overhang that looks correct when the chairs are pulled out.

The fabric resists creasing, so it can go from a cupboard onto a table without an hour of ironing first, and it comes out of the wash flat. Wipe spills as they happen with a damp cloth, and machine or hand wash at a low temperature when it needs a proper clean. Do not tumble dry on high heat, which will affect the surface treatment over time. The finish is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, so standing liquid should still be dealt with promptly.
