This tablecloth is super easy to use. Just spread it over your 8 - foot rectangle table and it will give a beautiful floor - length hang. For cleaning, you can either use a machine on a cold, gentle cycle and low - temp dry, but hand - washing and hanging to dry is better to keep it wrinkle - free and extend its life. Remember, the listing only includes the tablecloth, so don't expect any other decorative accessories. You can use it for all sorts of events like weddings, parties, and banquets to add a touch of elegance to your setup.
