How to Determine the Right Size Tablecloth for ...
When you’re having an event, whether it’s a big formal wedding, or just a small family gathering, to everything in between, you need the right size tablecloths for your tables. The worst feeling is putting the tablecloths on the day of the event to find that they barely fit the table, or hang over way too far. Don’t add any unnecessary stress to the event with a mishap like that! Follow our simple guidelines to how to pick the perfect size tablecloth for your table, whether round or rectangular. How to Determine the Right Size Tablecloth: 1. Measure your table from end to end on all sides, length and width, in both inches and centimeters. For a round table, you will just need the diameter of the table. Some vendors will display them in the different measurements, so be sure you have both! 2. Know how many leaves you are using during your event or party so that you have the correct measurements. It is common to place 2 or 3 leaves in your table when having company over, so be sure your measurements are for the table size you will be using the day of the event. 3. Allow 8 to 10 inches from either end to allow for table skirting. For a more formal setting, such as for wedding linens, a longer drop of 12 to 18 inches will give a more luxurious feeling. 4. Once you determine the amount of drop you would like, multiply it by 2 for each side, and add it to the diameter or both length and width of your table. You would use the below equation for both the width and length. Table Length + (Drop X 2) = Your desired Tablecloth Length 5. If you want your rectangular tables to be covered to the floor, the tablecloth should have rounded corners so there isn’t any extra fabric bunched in the corners. 6. Double check the care instructions for the fabric you are purchasing your tablecloth in, as some materials are easier to care for, while others may shrink in the washer and dryer, causing you to need a tad more length then you imagined. Now that you know exactly how to determine the perfect size tablecloth, you will never have to get frustrated again when it comes to purchasing the wrong size. Our biggest tip is to double and triple check your measurements or calculations! Also, make sure you try the tablecloths on the event tables days before the event, if there is a problem you will have plenty of time to find a replacement or solution to the problem.

If large enough, they can even be used for the backing of a quilt, or just pieces of a quilt. If you start thinking creatively and are more experienced with a needle and thread, you could even make a purse, apron, reusable grocery bags, or even baby bibs.

Tips for Removing Stains in Tablecloths
Tablecloths can take a beating, especially those that are used day in and day out. But even holiday tablecloths can be ruined in a moment with the spill of a glass of red wine. Don’t let a simple accident ruin a family heirloom or beloved tablecloth. To keep your tablecloths lasting as long as possible, we have some great tips for removing stains on tablecloths. There are many different products that can be used to help remove stains, our tips use general household ingredients, no fancy products. Before washing, be sure to remove any excess liquid or food from the tablecloth. Then clean it by hand with a mild detergent to see if the stain can be removed. Let it air dry, do not dry it in an electric dryer, as it will allow the stain to set in. If the hand wash showed some progress, you can repeat the process to hope for further results. The second step if the stain is still visible after two hand washings, is to soak the stained section in bowl of white vinegar. The white vinegar bath would consist of 1 tablespoon of vinegar for every quart of warm water. Soak it for one hour, but check the stain every 10 minutes to prevent damaging the tablecloth permanently. If step one and two are still not effective, you can move on to more evasive measures. Use a similar mixture as step 2, but replace the vinegar with bleach. Use this mixture only on the area of the stain. Then place it flat in the sun to assist the bleaching process. Check on the stain’s progress about every 15 minutes. The sun can discolor the other parts of the tablecloth, so be sure to keep a close eye on it. These tips are especially helpful on antique tablecloths in which the stain may have already set in. If the last and final step does not completely remove the stain, and if is still pretty visible, you may want to find a way to reuse the tablecloth for other items in your home.

Creating the Perfect Wedding Table
• event decor • Table Linens • wedding
Creating the perfect table setting for a wedding may be a work of art. You must carefully coordinate colors, have arrangements that are properly sized for the table and encourage conversation. Here’s a few tips from TableclothsFactory.com to make your perfect setting a reality! Picking out your Tablecloths Begin making the perfect wedding table by adding tablecloths to the tables. Some couples prefer to use white tablecloths in conjunction with colored cloths. You may also choose to use one color for the bottom layer and a contrasting color that runs in a different direction. Long rectangular tables may benefit from the addition of colorful table runners. The centerpieces should be proportional to the size of the tables. For example, if the tables are short, the centerpiece should also be short. Longer tables can handle taller centerpieces, such as topiaries. Smaller tables can handle elegant candle arrangements or floral arrangements. The floral arrangements should not be so tall that they interfere with your guests’ ability to talk to one another across the table. This goal can also be achieved by placing the centerpieces in the space between guests’ chairs. This will prevent guests from being impeded from seeing each other. When choosing the centerpiece, also be sure that it coordinates with the table linens for a sophisticated and cohesive design!

Cleaning Your Tablecloths and Table Runners
Want to be noticed? Tablecloths and table runners contribute to overall impressions at any event, large or small. They are also investments, with a value that grows over time, lasting for generations with proper care. TableclothsFactory.com recommends these handy cleaning tips to protect your investment. When scanning for stains, inspect the entire surface area of both sides, including the overhangs of tablecloths and table runners. Gently brush away any removable debris, such as candle wax or crumbs. Remember to inspect the cloth for loose fibers and fraying. If present, these areas will require more tender care in cleaning prior to repair. Oil Stains Next, apply an appropriate removal agent. Grease and lipstick stains are oil-based, thus requiring solvents like Goof Off. Food residue responds well to enzymatic cleaners, for example, Shout. When in doubt, follow manufacturer instructions on the bottle for best results. Do not apply chlorine bleach, ammonia or vinegar to linen tablecloths. Waxy Mistakes Removing candle wax requires paper towels and an iron. Sandwich the affected area with paper towels. A few passes with a warm iron, changing paper towels as needed, will easily resolve the situation. Finish off any remaining residue with an enzymatic cleaner, like Shout. Finally, soak overnight, then gently wash in warm water with enzymatic laundry soap, like Biz. Line or towel dry your tablecloths and linens for the least amount of creases.
