FAQs

What material is this tablecloth made from?

The tablecloth is crafted from high-quality cotton with an acrylic coating.

How do I clean the William Morris Strawberry Thief Tablecloth?

It is best to wipe clean with a damp cloth for daily spills. For a deeper clean, hand wash in cool water and drip dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What are the dimensions of this tablecloth?

This tablecloth measures 132cm in width and 228cm in length.

Can I put this tablecloth in the washing machine?

No, hand washing in cool water is recommended. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the acrylic coating and fabric.

Is the 'Strawberry Thief' pattern available in other colors or sizes?

The product description mentions availability in three sizes, but this specific listing is for the Red colour family and the 132cm x 228cm size. Please check other listings for alternative options.

What is the warranty period for this tablecloth?

The product specifications indicate a 1-year guarantee.

Will this tablecloth protect my table from hot dishes?

The acrylic coating offers some protection against minor heat, but it is not designed as a heat mat. It's best to use placemats or trivets for hot dishes to prevent potential damage.

Troubleshooting

Tablecloth has creases from packaging.

Lay the tablecloth flat on the table and smooth it out. For stubborn creases, iron on the reverse side on a low heat setting.

A stain is difficult to remove.

Try using a mild soap solution with a damp cloth. For persistent stains, a specialized fabric cleaner might be needed, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Wipe spills as soon as they happen.

Coating feels sticky or is peeling.

This may indicate excessive heat exposure or wear. Avoid direct high heat ironing. If peeling is significant, the protective layer may be compromised and replacement might be considered.

Edges are fraying.

Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully. If fraying is extensive, it may be time to replace the tablecloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Features a historically significant and beautiful William Morris design.
  • Easy to clean with a simple wipe-down, saving time and effort.
  • The acrylic coating offers protection against spills and stains.
  • Provides a softer drape than purely plastic tablecloths.
  • The red color adds warmth and vibrancy to dining settings.

Cons

  • The size is fixed at 132cm x 228cm and may not fit all tables perfectly.
  • Hand wash recommended, which can be more time-consuming than machine washing.
  • Acrylic coating, while practical, may eventually wear over time with extensive use.
  • The design is bold and may not suit minimalist decor.
  • As a fabric-based product, it may be susceptible to permanent staining if spills are not wiped promptly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Unfold the tablecloth and lay it flat on your dining table. Ensure it is centered and the overhang is even on all sides.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For daily spills and marks, wipe clean immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

  • Drying: Drip dry flat. Do not tumble dry.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on the reverse side at a low temperature. Avoid ironing the coated surface directly.
