Turmeric is the natural enemy of table linen, and anyone who has served dal on a white tablecloth knows it. That is why many homes keep two kinds: a sturdy, washable cover or set of placemats for daily meals, and a nicer cloth or runner for festivals and guests.

To size a tablecloth, measure the table and add 8 to 12 inches on each side for the drop. Runners should be about a third of the table's width and can hang slightly over the ends. Cotton is easy to wash and iron, and printed or darker fabrics hide small stains better than plain light ones.

Treat spills quickly: blot curry stains, rinse in cold water and rub in a little dish soap before washing. Iron table linen while it is slightly damp for crisp folds, and store it rolled rather than folded to avoid hard creases.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

How do I remove turmeric stains from a tablecloth?

Rinse the stain in cold water as soon as possible, rub in a little dish soap and leave the cloth in direct sunlight, which helps fade turmeric. Avoid hot water, which can set it.

What size tablecloth fits a six-seater table?

Measure the table length and width and add about 16 to 24 inches to each, which gives a drop of 8 to 12 inches on all sides. Many six-seater tables need a cloth of roughly 60 by 90 inches.

Are placemats or a tablecloth better for daily use?

Placemats are quicker to wipe or wash after each meal, which suits busy households. A tablecloth gives fuller coverage and a more finished look.

Should table linen be ironed?

Cotton looks much neater ironed, ideally while still a little damp. Some blends and wipe-clean fabrics need no ironing at all.
