Table linens like dining tablecloths, table runners, serviette (table napkin), etc, are mostly machine washable. They can be easily washed using a normal kind of detergent. The easiest way to keep table linens looking nice is to treat the stains right away and wash them just after it happens. Also, certain fabrics like silk materials need handwashing the stains or just normal dry cleaning. Washing the table linen in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle with a moderate detergent is a way to check your linen is safe and sound. You should not use bleach or other harsh chemicals on the cloth. Taking care of table linens is easy if done the right way, as it dries quickly and can be easily machine-washed using cool water with your regular detergent at home. They are not high on maintenance like other tableware and kitchenware items.
