While other fabrics may be wrinkle and sag, polyester tablecloths will only get soiled easily. Its smooth sleek surface means it will stay looking brand-new for years, even if washed several times. So if you are looking for a fabric to last you a lifetime then polyester is a perfect choice!

To keep it looking new, you need to wash it in hot water or dry clean as often as possible. Since tablecloths are generally larger in size, you may need to use a full laundry cycle to ensure they are clean and dry. If you are on a tight budget, you can also use a little bit of detergent to supplement the wash.

If you want, you can use a laundry ball to agitate the water as it swirls around in the washing machine. In addition to getting the water and soap clean, this will help remove the wrinkles in the cloth which formed during the wash.

When the laundry cycle is done, you can hang the washed cloth to dry. Make sure to add a bit more water to the wash so the cloth isn’t too dry when you put it on the table. The drying step is just as important as the washing step because it allows the cloth to shrink back to its original size, shape, and form.

Get Everything You Need In Advance

If you need to wash a number of tablecloths at once, you will need to make sure you have everything before you start. This means either buying a package of pre-washed cloths or spending a few extra dollars at the store to get the detergents and softeners they need to make the cloths look brand-new again. If you plan on using dry cleaners or steam cleaners on the cloths, make sure you have the necessary tools available.

If you don’t have a steam cleaner, you can use a regular cleaning cloth with some mild detergents on it to get the same effect. The key is to work quickly and efficiently to ensure the cloths are clean before they get wet again. Doing this will help prevent a number of laundering problems including staining and water damage.

These tips on how to wash polyester tablecloths will help you get the most out of your materials while also looking modern and stylish.
