Why would I buy through The Naperer instead of finding my own fabric?
Due to our experience in the event hire business we know what fabrics survive washing for multiple use. All of our fabrics are pre-tested for colour fade, shrinkage & stain removal by a commercial laundry. We wouldn’t recommend any fabrics that our sister company Table Art wouldn’t use for the hire industry in their range. You can source your own fabrics but we would recommend doing all the background work we have done prior to buying in bulk…if the cloths don’t survive one events food & wine stains, they will end up in landfill very quickly!
Can you make a table cloth to cover my boardroom table?
We certainly can! Send through your measurements and colour theme of your room and we can recommend fabrics that work. We can even leave a gap in the seams to accommodate integrated cable boxes & laptop cords.
Do you have any protection pads for my table?
We certainly can! We can make neoprene or foam protection pads for underneath your table cloth to protect your table. Some of our fabrics also come with lining that can add the extra layer of protection.
What is my table cloth packaged in?
We package all your napery in 100% recyclable LDPE (low density polyethylene) wrapping. For ongoing storage, we are able to manufacture you fabric laundry bags.
What payment methods to you accept?
How do I launder my tablecloth?
To extend the lifespan of your napery, please ensure your washing machine & dryer are in good working order with no rough areas that may snag fabric.
All napery should be free of debris such as food & wax.
For stain removal at an industrial laundry we recommend a blend of emulsifier & powder.
For stain removal domestically we recommend Eucalyptus wool mix as a first option. If unsuccessful we suggest Coloursafe Vanish & rub with hot water. We do not recommend Napisan.
Do not overload washing machine.
All of our fabrics can be tumble dried on medium heat.
We recommend steam pressing all of our fabrics. Irons can be used on a low/medium setting. We DO NOT recommend placing our fabrics through industrial laundry roller machines as they ruin the weave fabrics & stretch the seams.
Do not dry clean our fabrics.

What are your tablecloths made from?
All of our fabrics have a high polyester content to ensure those nasty stains can come out in the wash.
What size can I make my tablecloth?
Absolutely any size you need or want!
What size tablecloth should I order?
Your decision needs to take the following into account:
- Do you want the fabric to touch the floor on all sides of the table/the same distance drop on the sides as the ends
- What size will you get the most use out of/can a particular size cloth cover multiple table sizes?
Do you have a showroom where I can see your fabric range
As sister company to Table Art, we are able to use their Hawthorn showroom for appointments. Please note, the showroom is open by appointment only.
Can I have 100% pure linen table cloths?
We do have demand for 100% pure linen table cloths but our experience is that they don’t survive years of stain removal which is required for multiple use for events.
How do I remove the fold marks?
A warm iron or steamer can remove the fold marks.
