How to wash a teflon tablecloth

No matter what fabric the tablecloth is sewn from, it is still subject to pollution. Even a practical Teflon tablecloth will still have to be washed. How to wash a teflon tablecloth correctly so that its properties are not lost, this is what will be discussed.

Step-by-step instruction

To facilitate the washing of the tablecloth, do not remove it from the table, leave it unfolded, and then:

1. Use a sponge or cloth to remove spilled liquid and crumbs.
2. If there are dried contaminants on the surface, moisten them with water or a solution of water with dishwashing liquid.
3. Use a wooden spatula to scrape off the soaked dirt.
4. Rinse the tablecloth with a sponge, rinsing the sponge in clean water to remove foam.
5. Wipe dry with a table towel, let dry and fold the tablecloth.

If washing the tablecloth did not help, then you will have to wash it manually, for this you need:

• dissolve a powder or liquid detergent in water with a temperature of not more than 40 degrees;
• immerse the tablecloth in water and leave it for 20-30 minutes, so that the dirt, as it should, get wet;
• gently rinse the tablecloth with a sponge;
• rinse in clean water, you can use the shower to wash off all the foam;
• without twisting the product, drain it;
• put on the dryer and let dry at room temperature, excess moisture can be removed by placing an old sheet under the tablecloth.

Tablecloth Features

A teflon tablecloth can be made of any fabric, for example, linen, cotton, polyester or acrylic, only a teflon coating is applied to the top layer of such fabric.

Note! Teflon coating is sometimes called fluoroplastic.

Thanks to this coating, the tablecloth acquires a number of properties:

• does not absorb moisture, and therefore spilled liquid is collected in a puddle;
• does not absorb fat;
• easy to clean and wipe;
• retains a bright pattern, does not fade;
• “Afraid” of high temperature;
• It does not tolerate exposure to sharp objects and abrasive particles, so it can not be cleaned with powder.

Laundry Detergents

Before giving a list of the means by which you can wash the Teflon tablecloth manually or in a typewriter, you must specify the characteristics of such funds. Firstly, they should be on a soap basis, and secondly, they should not have excess chemicals, including optical brightener. It is best to take either soap or powders for washing newborn items that are suitable for a washing machine.

You may ask, how to wash a tablecloth with a Teflon coating, because a thing can deteriorate from a powder? We answer that from soap and soap-based powder the thing does not deteriorate. On the contrary, it will acquire a pristine saturated color, becoming attractive again. A tablecloth washed in this way will not be ashamed to lay on the table. Well, enough philosophy, here is a list of tools that could potentially be used for hand and machine washing of a Teflon tablecloth.

• Laundry soap "Eared Nannies".
• Baby soap Atopalm.
• Soap powder for newborns Tobbi Kids.
• Baby powder "Our mother."
• Mako Clean and others.

If you have at your fingertips another soap or soap for children, feel free to take them into circulation. If the products are of high quality and do not contain excess chemistry, you will not spoil the tablecloth with them.

Can I machine wash

People often ask: how to wash a teflon tablecloth in automatic mode? Although we are not supporters of this method of care for a Teflon tablecloth, because we believe that 2-3 such launders will kill a thing. But still, we will tell fans of automatic washing machines how to wash with the least damage.

1. We set the most gentle washing program, for example: delicate mode, hand wash, etc.
2. Turn off the spin.
3. We set the thermostat to 30-40 degrees.
4. We put 2/3 norms of soap powder, which is suitable for washing in a washing machine.
5. We start the wash and wait for the result.

Note! When washing a new Teflon tablecloth, be prepared for it to sit a little, especially if it is based on cotton. Products made of expensive fabric have a stock of length for this case.

To summarize, we note that washing the Teflon tablecloth in the machine or with your hands is necessary only if necessary. Despite the long service life claimed by the manufacturers, the Teflon coating wears out and loses its properties. Take care of the product and it will last you a long time.
