Using this table overlay is easy. Just lay it flat on your table and you're ready to go. It's great for adding a touch of elegance to weddings, parties, events, banquets, or any kind of decoration. When it comes to cleaning, you can machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and dry it at a low temperature. But to avoid wrinkles and make the table overlay last longer, we recommend hand washing it and hanging it up to dry. Remember, this listing only includes the tablecloth, so all other decorative items you see in pictures are not part of it.
