Rub this on the tablecloth and the stains won’t absorb. A great idea for Christmas
The Christmas Eve table includes not only twelve festive dishes, but also a white tablecloth. In many Polish homes there is one tablecloth that is always taken out for special occasions. Unfortunately, long feasts and many delicious dishes and dishes mean that all it takes is a moment of inattention and stains appear on the tablecloth. This is the biggest problem for many people. Dirt from red borscht, coffee or wine is not the easiest to remove. They often need to be soaked and the tablecloth must be washed at high temperatures. This, in turn, contributes to the destruction of the material, and besides, who wants to spend Christmas?
One way to protect your tablecloth against stains is . It creates a protective layer and prevents the materials from absorbing water, so stains are not absorbed into the fabrics and can be easily wiped away. In stores you will find special impregnation agents for fabrics. They usually come in the form of a spray that you spray on the fabric. Most often, you should first wash and dry the tablecloth thoroughly. Then gently apply the impregnation and leave for 72 hours to dry completely. During this time, you need to protect the material from moisture. Purchased fabric impregnators can be used not only on tablecloths, but also on curtains, awnings and fabrics that are stored outdoors.
Homemade fabric impregnator
You can make fabric impregnation yourself. It works best on stiff materials, such as jackets, jackets or coats. It should not be used on delicate fabrics such as satin or silk. To prepare a homemade fabric impregnation you need: 100 g of beeswax and 200 g of paraffin. The wax should be melted and paraffin added. Mix everything thoroughly and set aside to cool. The mixture prepared in this way can be placed in the refrigerator for a while. This will help it set better. The prepared impregnation should be gently rubbed into the material and then heated to cover all the fibers. You can do this by applying a heated iron through baking paper or using warm air from a hair dryer.
