This white cotton table overlay is very easy to use. Just place it on your table, and it will instantly enhance the look of your space. It's great for weddings, birthdays, parties, or any event. Remember, since the cotton isn't pre - shrunk, there might be a 2 - 4% shrinkage after washing. So, it's a good idea to measure your table again after the first wash. To maintain its quality, wash it in cold water and tumble dry on low. This will keep the overlay soft, breathable, and looking its best for a long time.
