Using this table overlay is easy. Just place it on your table to instantly enhance the look of your event. Whether it's a wedding, birthday party, or a banquet at a restaurant, it will add a touch of sophistication. When it comes to cleaning, machine wash it in cold water. Remember, since it's not pre - shrunk, there might be 2 - 4% shrinkage after washing. Hang it to dry to maintain its shape. And keep in mind that this is just the overlay, so you'll need to add your own decorations to make it truly special.
