Waterproof tablecloth: a table that's always ready, from everyday meals to special occasions
The waterproof tablecloth is the perfect companion for tables that get a lot of use: family meals, quick breakfasts, drinks with friends, children's snacks, or large celebratory dinners. Its rectangular 100% polyester fabric effectively protects the tabletop while maintaining a beautiful drape. Liquids bead on the surface, crumbs are wiped away in a flash: the table stays clean, even when everyday life interrupts mealtimes.
With its soft and warm pastoral style, this waterproof tablecloth is equally suited to a family dining room as it is to a hotel table, wedding , banquet , or reception table. It offers a simple and elegant base, easy to accessorize with your tableware, flowers, and candles.
Practical tip – the tablecloth is always ready
Leave your waterproof tablecloth in place on the table and simply add placemats, a table runner, or napkins as needed. This saves you time every day while protecting the tabletop from stains and spills.
Why choose a waterproof tablecloth?

Material and finish: a polyester designed for real life
This waterproof tablecloth is made from 100% polyester , a material chosen for its durability and ease of care. The fabric remains supple, with a lovely drape over the sides of the table, while being robust enough to withstand repeated use and machine washing.

The waterproof tablecloth is designed for rectangular tables . For a harmonious look, we recommend an overhang of at least 20 to 30 cm on each side, in order to cover the tabletop without obstructing legs.

Maintenance of the waterproof tablecloth
Maintenance is intentionally simple, so that the waterproof tablecloth remains a true everyday support and not an additional constraint.
-
On a daily basis : wipe up liquids immediately with a sponge or clean cloth: they will bead on the surface.
-
In case of stain : gently dab with soapy water, without rubbing aggressively.
-
Machine wash : follow the label instructions, using a gentle program suitable for synthetic fibers.
-
Drying : preferably in the open air, polyester fiber dries quickly.
-
Ironing : if necessary, iron on the reverse side at a low temperature, without excessive steam.
Avoid in order to prolong lifespan
Avoid excessively high washing temperatures, repeated use of harsh bleaching products, or rubbing with stiff brushes. Even if the waterproof tablecloth is durable, overly rough handling can reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment and damage the fabric.
Two possible atmospheres with the same waterproof tablecloth
everyday family table
The waterproof tablecloth covers the dining table, adorned with simple dishes, a few colorful glasses, and a bouquet of seasonal flowers. Meals follow one after another, the table remains protected, and there's no stress in case of a spilled glass.
Reception dinner or banquet
We keep the same tablecloth, but we add more candles, place cards, centerpieces, and beautiful tableware. The waterproofing becomes invisible, while still providing discreet protection for the evening.
