subject: Why The Vinyl Table Cover Is My Favorite Type [print this page] Who doesn't want to dine in style? I know that I do, which is why my wife is constantly trying to improve the look and feel of our home kitchen.
Since we place such a value on style in this department, the importance of getting an optimal table covering is as high as anything else in the room. While I happen to like the vinyl tablecloth most, I can say this based on experience. Let's look at some of the reasons that I feel this way.
I should probably begin this discussion by pointing out some of the things that a typical tablecloth leaves you worrying about. For one, they'll stain very frequently. If you have a white cotton table covering, for example, a wine stain could easily ruin it.
Many stains can thankfully be removed, but only after a tedious process that might involve taking your tablecloth to the dry cleaners, or hand washing it after applying some special solution. No one wants to deal with these things, especially when there are extra expenses involved.
Families will know very well that using a tablecloth carries a huge risk with it. For one, you should expect the inevitable stains if you have children in the house. Perhaps the greater risk lies within the fact that children will typically try to pull the tablecloth at the ends, which could lead to quite the mess in your kitchen.
As far as a vinyl tablecloth is concerned, the nuisances mentioned above are virtually nonexistent. One great benefit that comes with the territory is the ease with which spills can be dealt with. A wet sponge, soap, and a paper towel generally does the trick.
Then when it comes to drink spills, I no longer need to worry about the integrity of my table. Vinyl really gathers all of the liquid so that it's easy to manage. I can practically sweep the liquid off the surface of the table.
As for the tugging children issue, there's no need to worry here. By going with a fitted vinyl tablecloth, you can easily avoid the risk of spillage that comes with your traditional table covers.
