Some Oilcloth Tablecloth FAQs

Oilcloth tablecloths make everyday life easier. They protect your table, wipe clean quickly, and look stylish in any setting. At Only Oilcloths, customers often ask similar questions before ordering. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions, answered simply and clearly.

Is Oilcloth Wipe Clean?

Many customers ask if oilcloth really wipes clean. Yes, it does. You can wipe most everyday spills away using a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Care instructions are included with all of our oilcloth orders.  Oilcloth works brilliantly for busy family meals, crafts, and daily living where mess happens.

Is Oilcloth Waterproof?

We regularly get asked this question.  Yes, oilcloth is waterproof on the surface (coated side), which makes it ideal for protecting tables from spills and moisture. However, the cotton underneath is not treated, so water can soak into the cloth from underneath if placed on a wet table, or left in a damp environment.

Will Oilcloth suit my modern home?

Another common question is whether oilcloth suits modern homes. It absolutely does. Oilcloth comes in a huge range of colours and patterns, from calm neutrals to bold statement prints. You can style it for a cosy kitchen, a modern dining space, or even outdoor tables in warmer months.

How do I know what size to buy?

Customers also ask how to choose the right size. We cut all our oilcloth tablecloths to order, so you can pick the size that suits your table. Most people prefer a small overhang so it looks neat and tidy. If you need help choosing, we’re always happy to advise.

Can I order different shapes?

Some shoppers want a more tailored finish. We offer rounded corners for a softer look, and we can also add a parasol hole for outdoor dining. If you have a different table shape, we can cut a circle or oval to suit your table perfectly. For extra stability, we also supply tablecloth clips to keep everything in place.

Is Oilcloth suitable for a family home?

People often ask if oilcloth works for families with children. Oilcloth is ideal for real life. It reduces stress at mealtimes and makes clean-up quick. You can spend less time wiping and more time enjoying your space.

Oilcloth gives your table protection and personality in one simple update. It’s an easy way to refresh your dining space without an expensive makeover.  For more FAQ’s, please visit our FAQ page.
