Using this tablecloth is easy. Just lay it on your standard 4 ft. table, and it will give a lovely floor-length hang. When it gets dirty, you can machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and dry at low temperature. But to keep it looking its best and avoid wrinkles, we suggest hand washing and hanging it to dry. Remember, this listing is only for the tablecloth, so don't expect any other decorative items. It's great for weddings, parties, events, banquets, or just as a decoration around your home.
