To use this table cloth, simply spread it on your table. It's great for daily use or special occasions. When it gets dirty, you can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric. After washing, hang it to dry. This will help keep the plant patterns vivid and the fabric in good shape. Also, be aware that the color you see on your screen might be a bit different from the real table cloth, but it won't affect its beauty and functionality.
