While it's technically possible to tumble dry a linen tablecloth, it's not generally recommended by experts. The heat from the dryer can cause linen to shrink and weaken over time, which can adversely affect the longevity and appearance of your tablecloth. Instead, it's best to let linen tablecloths air-dry naturally. If you need to speed up the drying process, you can gently roll the tablecloth in a clean, dry towel to absorb excess moisture. Remember to smooth out wrinkles while the linen is still damp. If necessary, iron the tablecloth on the linen setting while it's slightly damp to maintain its crisp, elegant look.
