Le Jacquard Français Bastide Tablecloth

The acrylic coating is applied thinly to the combed cotton, so the tablecloth retains a soft, textile-like drape rather than feeling like stiff plastic. It provides a protective barrier against spills while maintaining the elegant look and feel of traditional cotton.

Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The water-resistant acrylic coating makes it durable enough to handle patio dining, though we recommend storing it indoors when not in use to preserve the fabric's longevity.

Maintenance is simple. Because the surface is coated, most spills can be wiped away immediately with a damp cloth or sponge. For more stubborn messes, you can spot clean the area with mild soap and water.

While the acrylic coating is designed to be wiped clean, it is generally recommended to avoid frequent machine washing to preserve the integrity of the coating. If a full wash is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water and hang to dry, but spot cleaning is the preferred method for daily care.

If the tablecloth arrives with creases, you can iron it on the reverse side (the non-coated cotton side) using a low-heat setting. Avoid ironing directly on the acrylic-coated side, as high heat can damage the finish.

The acrylic coating is durable and designed for long-term use, but like any finish, it may gradually soften over many years of heavy use and repeated cleanings. Proper care, such as avoiding harsh abrasives and excessive machine washing, will help the coating last significantly longer.
