Modern ladies, like women in the good old days, believe that setting a table for guests without a tablecloth is ugly and not befitting a caring hostess. They are also used in everyday life to give the kitchen or dining room a special homey feel and to protect the table from constant contamination. But using fabric ones is very expensive; they get dirty easily and are difficult to wash. That is why the invention of a vinyl tablecloth was a good option.
Vinyl tablecloth: what is it and its features?
The vinyl product differs little from its fabric ancestor in appearance. They are also made with various patterns or designs, are made in pleasant colors and are decorated with decorative fringe or lace. However, such a tablecloth does not require such complex care as cotton or linen. Simply wipe it with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt.
The main features and advantages of such products are:
- durability;
- attractive appearance;
- ease of care.
Important! In recent years, it has become possible to buy such a kitchen accessory not only as a piece, but also by the meter.
Today there are several varieties of such products. So, double-sided ones have two ornaments at once, on both sides. When buying such a tablecloth, the housewife can change the design depending on her mood.
There are heat-resistant products and fabric-based fabrics. The former are not afraid of hot dishes, do not deform and are quite durable, while the latter have amazing resistance to external factors and delight housewives for a long time with their beautiful appearance.
Such outlandish varieties as “chameleon” and with silk-screen printing are also available for sale. The former change their color depending on the lighting in the room, while the latter, thanks to a special production procedure and the material used, have increased wear resistance.
Advantages and disadvantages of a vinyl tablecloth
Tablecloths today are not limited exclusively to classic fabric models. More and more housewives prefer vinyl. And there are a number of reasons for this, which are due to the advantages of this type of table accessory:
- durability (such an accessory will help protect the table from damage, and it will be easy to clean if contamination occurs, this is especially important in homes where there are children);
- affordable (vinyl products are affordable for most women);
- varieties (depending on the cost, tablecloths vary in density, degree of protection and beauty);
- appearance (thanks to modern technologies for applying patterns, it can have a variety of patterns, which can even get boring after a long time of use).
