Unlike regular oil cloth,Marimekko oil cloth is faced with a moisture repellent poly-vinyl finish on their cotton fabric. This makes the fabric more pliable to work with. This kid friendly fabric is semi-porous so Marimekko recommends wiping up spills quickly with a damp cloth. If necessary use a mild non bleach detergent. You can wash it in a washing machine in warm water on the delicate cycle. Hang it up wet and pull it straight. Iron it on the cotton side while damp with a cool iron.
Great for benches, chairs and tablecloths when you want easy clean up with style. While intended for indoor use, it can be used outdoors as long as you do not allow it to stay wet for long periods of time as this may cause the fabric to mildew.
Since 2008 all oilcloth manufactured by Marimekko is phthalate free pvc.
Marimekko recommends storing the fabric rolled which is how we ship it to orders within the U.S. Outside the U.S. oilcloth will ship folded.
