Using this table overlay is super easy. Just lay it on your table and you're good to go! It's great for sprucing up any event like weddings, parties, banquets. When it comes to cleaning, you can use the machine - set it to cold water and a gentle cycle, then dry at a low temperature. But if you want to keep it in tip - top shape, hand wash it and hang it to dry. This will help avoid wrinkles and make the tablecloth last longer. Remember, the listing only includes the tablecloth, so don't expect any other decorative accessories to come with it.
