This table runner is really easy to use. Just lay it on your table and it'll instantly elevate the look of your wedding, party, event, banquet, or restaurant. When it comes to cleaning, make sure to hand wash it only and then hang it up to dry. Avoid machine washing as it might damage the taffeta crinkle fabric and the metallic shine. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent any tears, especially around the serged edges. With proper care, this table runner will serve you well for many occasions.
