How to Smooth Out a Vinyl Table Cloth

Have you ever gone to grab your vinyl tablecloth from its storage place only to discover that it is full of wrinkles or creases? There are several different ways you can banish the wrinkles and creases from your favorite table covering. Some strategies require a lot of time and patience while others you can start and walk away from. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Grab several towels, and get them slightly damp in the sink--not sopping wet but damp enough to provide moisture.

2

Place the towels in the dryer along with the tablecloth, and turn it on the wrinkle-removal cycle. If your dryer does not have one of these cycles, use your standard cycle for drying clothes.

3

Check on your tablecloth after about 5 to 10 minutes. Take it out and smooth out the wrinkles. You may need to do this several times for the best outcome.

4

If you do not have a dryer at your disposal, grab your iron and dial it to a medium setting. Place a damp towel underneath your tablecloth in the place your normally iron.

5

Smooth out the wrinkles using the iron by running it over the wrinkles in the tablecloth. If the vinyl is very thin, put a light-weight damp towel on top of the vinyl so that the hot iron does not directly contact the vinyl.
