Natural

Natural materials of fabrics used in the manufacture of tablecloths include:

2. linen;
3. silk.

Cotton products have versatile properties. A tablecloth made from this material is suitable for a wide range of uses. The main property of cotton is good moisture absorption. This explains why cloth hand wipes are made from cotton. Usually, these tablecloths are used indoors. Outdoor applications are limited. This is due precisely to the good absorbency of moisture. Outdoor humidity is higher than indoors.

Cotton fabric can be produced with different yarns. Coarse calico, satin, percale are found in the store. Cotton is perfectly washed, ironed, not expensive. Therefore, it is often used.

Flax is great for a feast. Has a dense structure, good abrasion resistance, resistance to frequent washing. Linen holds its color well after many intensive washings. For the price, flax is more expensive than cotton. It is more difficult to iron, easy to wrinkle.

A silk tablecloth is a luxury in the flesh. It is used for special occasions that require anxious attention. Silk is a capricious fabric. If it gets dirty, it is better not to delay the wash. The price of such a product is very high.

Artificial

This type includes:

1. crane;
2. mother;

Zhuravinka is composite. There are polyesters woven with cotton (coarse calico, satin). Zhuravinka has a satin texture, is easy to wash, and does not wrinkle well. Additionally, it is impregnated with special compounds that repel grease, dirt, and other pollutants, preventing them from eating into the base.

Mati is also compound. In addition to cotton, polyester is also present. The surface of the mother keeps the color well, does not wrinkle, and is well erased. Mati is treated to protect against grease and other contaminants. The texture is satin, smooth. Mati is used for everyday tablecloths.
