What is oilcloth? Oilcloth is a specially treated fabric which is waterproof. Originally, oilcloth was made from oil impregnated canvas, leading to the name “oilcloth.” Today's oilcloth is a vinyl that is bonded and supported with a woven cotton mesh. The surface can be wiped clean. The fabric has been tested and passes the National Fire Protection Agency 701 classification for commercial and residential use. Oilcloth is waterproof and stain resistant. Fading may occur under direct sunlight for extended periods of time since the oilcloth does not contain a UV inhibitor. Oilcloth is a 10.3oz weight vinyl. How do I care for oilcloth? You can wipe oilcloth clean using a warm, soapy sponge then dry it off with a soft cloth. Machine washing is not suggested. Store folded or rolled. Any creases from folding will smooth out over time-- faster in a warm environment. If you want to speed the process up you could use the steam setting on an iron with a pressing cloth between the iron and the oilcloth (DO NOT TOUCH THE IRON TO THE OILCLOTH). What can I use oilcloth for? There are so many things you can do with oilcloth-- table covering, placemats, lunch bags, dog food mat, high-chair mat, book cover, beach bag, raincoats, shower curtain, shelf liner, apron, wallet..... what ever you would like to be pretty and waterproof! Update your old furniture by re-covering that old card table. You simply staple the edges underneath. We have also had lots of customers re-cover the cushions on their outdoor (and indoor) chairs. Here is a list of some of the many items we have in the store that are custom-made out of oilcloth: Oilcloth bibs- Cloth bibs are easy to come by, but they’re no bargain. First you’ll have to pay for several bibs (they get messy in a hurry). Then, you’ll have to pay to run them through the wash. Save yourself the hassle and expense and purchase one oil cloth bib instead. These are made of a plastic-coated fabric, and can be rinsed clean after each use. Plus, they last longer too. Since oil cloth won’t stain, you can pass them down to younger siblings when they are outgrown. Try doing that with a cloth bib. Lunch Box/Train Case - A
practical thing to do is to keep cosmetics/toiletries in the train case
for traveling--if something should happen to leak, it stays in the case
and you just wash it out! Oilcloth Aprons (both kids and adults) - We have some beautiful (and completely practical) kid's aprons that would be great for art projects.

size to carry books, files, or your laptop. How wide is the oilcloth?
