This tablecloth is super easy to use. Just spread it over your 8 - foot rectangle table and it will give a floor - length hang. You can use it for all sorts of events like weddings, parties, and banquets. When it comes to cleaning, if you've got time, hand - washing and hanging it to dry is the best way to avoid wrinkles and keep it in good shape for a long time. But if you're short on time, you can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and dry it at a low temperature. Remember, this listing is only for the tablecloth, so any other decorative things you see in pictures aren't included.
