Criterias of choice
Choosing the right tapestry tablecloth is not an easy task. They are very beautiful, exquisite, unlike any other product.
Of course, the most important thing is to be able to distinguish a real tapestry from a fake. It is quite difficult to do this, especially if you have never had to deal with this material. In order not to buy a fake, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:
- the weight and thickness of the material (the tapestry tablecloth is very heavy and consists of three layers of weaving);
- weaving threads.
In general, when buying such a tablecloth, be guided by the following criteria:
- product parameters - size, shape;
- design decoration - you can separately purchase a tablecloth for the New Year, Easter, with a corresponding pattern on the fabric;
- quality of seams;
- the purpose of the tablecloth (will you use it to decorate the dining table, or just as an element of decor;
- manufacturer (Italian-made products are in demand, Turkish tablecloths have proven themselves well);
- cost (a tapestry tablecloth cannot be cheap. If you see an understated price for a product, it is either a fake or a defective item).
It is advisable to buy this attribute exclusively at specialized points of sale, not just textile stores, but in salons that specialize in the sale of tapestry products.
Carefully inspect the product visually, ask the seller for a quality certificate for the product and make sure that if the tablecloth, for example, is of Turkish production, the distributor has the necessary documents confirming the legality of his actions.
How to wash?
Ease of maintenance is one of the advantages of a material such as tapestry. For in order for the tapestry tablecloth to serve as long as possible, you must adhere to absolutely all the recommendations and operating rules that the manufacturer indicates.
- The tapestry tablecloth is machine washable. Use only mild cleaning agents. It is strictly forbidden to use bleaches and stain removers. The water temperature should not be higher than 35 ° C, and the washing mode is “delicate”.
- After washing, rinse the fabric well several times.
- You cannot wring out.
Experts say that these rules are applicable and relevant only if the product is made of synthetic thread.
If the tablecloth contains only natural threads, then washing in a washing machine is dangerous - it can only be carefully cleaned using a special brush with natural bristles.
