How to clean Table placements: Easy- Peasy tips to follow

By keeping the table clean and protecting it from scratches and other damages, the placements are a little savior with big tasks in our dining table. But do you often clean your placements? Many of us fail to clean the placements. But this can gradually damage the placement over time. So, always make sure you clean these regularly.  

Not all the placements are made from the same material. Each material needs different cleaning techniques. Let us see a few cleaning hacks to keep your placements looking brand new.

Placement cleaning methods based on different materials

‍

1. Cotton

Cotton table placements are easy to clean. They can be cleaned like normal fabric. With mild detergent, you can remove the stain. This can be cleaned both by machine wash on a gentle cycle and hand wash. You scrub the food spills and stains with a soft brush. Once it is cleaned you can completely air-dry it. 

‍

2. Blended Canvas

A blended canvas table mat is a synthetic placement that can be washed in a washing machine on a gentle cycle. You can spot-clean the dirt and spills using a damp cloth or a soft sponge with mild detergent or soap. 

‍

3. Micro velvet 

Micro velvet table placement is a luxurious table mat that can be used for special occasions. These table mats require proper care and maintenance. You can machine wash the placement on a gentle cycle. Make sure you are tumble-drying the placement. Avoid air drying as it can damage the micro velvet.

Note: Always ensure that you are reading the instructions thoroughly before trying any cleaning techniques.

4. Bamboo

You can wipe the food spills and stains from the bamboo placements using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not soak the bamboo or any other wooden placement in water as the moisture can leave permanent damage on the bamboo. They can easily get spoiled when washed in a washing machine. So it is always better to hand wash with less exposure to moisture. 

‍

5. Use a fabric-safe cleaner

 Do you know how to clean table placements with persistent stains? You can use a fabric-safe cleaner.  Apply a small amount of the fabric cleaner to the stain and let it sit for some time. Once done you can wipe it off with a damp cloth or spine. Make sure that the fabric-safe cleaner is free from harsh chemicals like ammonia and bleach.

‍

6. Deal tough stains with baking soda

Another quick and easy hack to remove the tough stains on the placements is by using baking soda. Make a thick paste of baking soda and apply it over the stain. Let it sit for some time. After 10 to 15 minutes you can gently scrub it off using a soft brush. 

‍

7. White Vinegar treatment

Just like baking soda, white vinegar is also an excellent product to remove the stains and odor from the placement. You can spray the white vinegar and lemon solution on the placement and then wipe it off with the microfibre cloth. 

‍

8. Dishwashing the placements

Do you know that you can easily clean placements using a dishwasher? Yes, plastic and silicone table placement cleaning can be done using the dishwasher. But no other materials like bamboo, cotton, or linen can be cleaned using the dishwasher. Make sure you are using warm water, not hot water.
