Spandex tablecloths are a dream for event planners, party rental companies and banquet halls looking for a wrinkle-resistant, contemporary sleek silhouette. But with plenty of use comes plenty of spills and companies in the event industry need to keep a clean inventory to impress their potential customers. If some companies are looking to invest in spandex tablecloths, here’s what to expect for the washing and maintenance of the material – so you can keep your investment looking sharp!
The good news is – spandex is machine washable. To wash:
1. Examine the spandex for any evidence of visible stains or strong odors.
2. If strong odors are present, you can pre-soak in a cold water solution of 1 part white vinegar to 1 part cold water. (For major stink, up the vinegar to 2 parts white vinegar, 1 part water) Un-diluted Vinegar is also a good stain remover for sauces and red wine. For coffee or tea stains, pre-treat with liquid laundry detergent for half an hour.
3. Machine wash in lukewarm water
To dry:
4. Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting to maintain the high level of elasticity.
No ironing should be needed – but if wrinkles do occur, iron on the lowest heat setting.
