Here are the step by step instructions.
- Check the care label :Before washing your linen tablecloth, check the care label for any specific instructions or restrictions
- Shake off all debris: Remove any crumbs, dust or debris from the tablecloth by shaking it outside
- Pre-treat stains: If your tablecloth has any stains, then pre-treat them by applying a stain remover or a mixture of baking soda and water directly on the stain
- Choose a gentle detergent: Select a mild, eco-friendly detergent without any bleach or fabric softener
- Filling the washing machine: Wash your tablecloth in cold water on a gentle cycle. Add the detergent and let the machine fill with water before adding the tablecloth
- Hang to dry: After the cycle is complete, remove the tablecloth from the machine and hang it to dry outside or indoors. Avoid using a dryer or wringing the fabric as it can damage the fibers
- Iron it well: If necessary, iron the tablecloth on a medium heat setting while it's still slightly damp. This will help to remove any wrinkles and keep the fabric looking crisp
