The table setting is one that you want to look as nice as possible. Not only do you want to have an elegant table covering, but you'll want to make sure that it adequately protects the surface of your table from being exposed to food and drink stains.
As a result, choosing a reliable tablecloth is integral in making sure that you achieve this goal. My personal favorite is the vinyl tablecloth, and I'll go into the reasons within this article. Hopefully your appreciation for this style will be on par with mine.
I should probably begin this discussion by pointing out some of the things that a typical tablecloth leaves you worrying about. For one, they'll stain very frequently. If you have a white cotton table covering, for example, a wine stain could easily ruin it.
Even if these stains can be washed out, it's still a hassle dealing with the process of cleaning and maintaining them. Whether you're machine washing these in cold water and then drying them, or taking them to the dry cleaners, this costs both time and money on your part.
Additionally, any household with children knows the risks that come with a tablecloth. When your kids are at the table, they'll frequently tug at the ends of it. This can easily lead to drinks and food spilling on it, and worse yet, broken dishes.
The good news is that the vinyl tablecloth is everything that these other accessories aren't. For starters, they're really easy to maintain. Usually, some soap and water will wipe away any stains caused by spills.
Additionally, the surface of these objects are usually thick, making it extremely difficult for spilled drinks to seep through the surface of the covering and onto the table. This provides a solid layer of protection to your table.
As for the tugging children issue, there's no need to worry here. By going with a fitted vinyl tablecloth, you can easily avoid the risk of spillage that comes with your traditional table covers.
