Storing table linen
Make sure tablecloths and napkins are completely clean and dry before they're folded away. Traces of food or oil that weren't washed out can turn into yellow or brown spots over months in a drawer. Polyester tablecloths hold on to oil, so give buttery or oily marks a Pro Formula treatment before the wash.
Top tips
- Don't leave a stained tablecloth bundled up overnight: spread it out or rinse the stains.
- Wash napkins with the tablecloth so you catch every mark.
- Check for stains in daylight before ironing.
