Question from priya

Hi! I was trying to find a table cloth protector which is free of toxin.Any idea where I will be able to find it? Thanks

Debra’s Answer

Most table cloth protectors are made of soft vinyl, like a shower curtain.

I can’t imagine how it would be possible to make a clear table cloth protector without a toxic plastic.

There are other less toxic plastics that could be used, polyethylene is used to make plastic bags, but I don’t know if there is a clear polyethylene thick enough for a table cloth cover.

The only solution I can think of is to get a piece of glass cut to the size of the table and use that over the tablecloth, or use tablecloths you can toss in the washer, like I do.
