Tablecloths, placemats, and runners are made of high quality polycotton, which contains a higher percentage of cotton.

These products are plastic free.

The products are coated with a special coating that allows them to be wipe clean. Initially the products may feel a little rigid but they will soften over time with use.

This is secret recipe that has been perfected over the last 20 years. It has a matt finish and the fabric softens with use and after time feels very similar to a linen tablecloth.

• Ensure that your table surface is clean and dry before laying products to the table, so as not to dirty the back of the fabric.
• Ensure the coated/design side faces up (label at the back).
• Remember! The fabrics are stain resistant, not stain proof!
• Wipe marks as soon as possible.
• Use a mild cleaning solution that does not contain bleach, ammonia or chlorine.
• Use a soft, wet sponge to wipe the fabric clean.
• Spray with clean water and dry the surface with a white cotton cloth that will not leave fibre residue on the fabric.
• Use a hot steam iron on the reverse of the fabric if necessary.
• Do not fold the cloths when damp and store, rather wait for the cloth to be totally dry before storage.

• This is possible: use a gentle cycle, no harsh detergents, cold wash, drip dry, Hot iron on the reverse.
• Please note, when the cloth is soaking wet, the colour looks faded. The colour does return when dry. Please remember to iron the fabric with a very hot steam iron on the reverse after it has dried.
• Washing the cloth in a washing machine is not recommended for frequent use, and should only be done in extreme or once- off circumstances.
• Do not use bleach.

Our dish covers are 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and elastic allowing for a breathable cover and easy wash and dry.

The dish covers are breathable allowing evaporation to occur and promoting efficient cooling in the fridge. Out of the fridge your food is protected from contaminants without suffocating or sweating your food. They do not have a plastic layer or a wax coating.

Freshness is actually related to time. The reason why we think that plastic ‘locks in freshness’ is because it locks in condensation. In the case of plastic wrap, when you seal your food, you lock in air, this results in ‘sweating’ and produces droplets of condensation. As those droplets fall into your food, they carry with it the toxins from the plastics.

The key to eating fresh food is in the shopping and preparation however it is possible to preserve the quality of food through good storage practices. Our breathable covers allow for evaluation which means that your food cools down to about 4˚C or 40˚F quickly and without sweating.

No, it is recommended that your dish cover is NOT used in the microwave or oven.

It is so easy to wash your dish covers. Just throw them in the wash with your normal laundry. They don’t get as dirty as one might think because while protecting your food, they do not come into contact with your food very often. If your dish cover happens to get dirtied by some turmeric or beetroot, wash out as soon as possible.

Cold or warm machine wash.  Can be hand washed. Hang or warm tumble dry. Do not bleach. Wash out potential stains soonest.

Our dish covers have a sturdy elasticated edge that stretches over various sizes and shapes of jugs, extra small, small, medium, large and extra-large dishes. View the minimum to maximum size chart to help you select the appropriate size.

The dish covers are sold as follows:

• The rectangular dish covers are sold individually
• The set of small dish covers are sold in a set of 3 made up as follows: One jug dish cover, one extra small dish cover and one small dish cover.
• The set of large dish covers are sold in a set of 3, made up as follows: One medium dish cover, one large dish cover and one extra large dish cover. 

Sorry this is not possible but they are color coded for size!  We make each cover a complimentary color, so you know which size each cover is at a glance.

If you are considering buying one dish cover as a gift for someone who has a family, then we recommend our large set because it fits most common salad bowls. For people just starting out and for those at the downscaling time of life we recommend our set of smalls.  Our Dish Covers are adjustable and all about function so you can’t go wrong.

The print doesn’t fade, however with all textile printing, colder washes in mild detergents and hanging to dry will preserve the quality of the print.  Do not bleach.

The dish covers are made to be used every day and washed often. The elastic is made to our specification which gives our dish covers the longevity that other dish covers don’t have. Obviously cold wash and hang dry will prolong their life but this is not necessary if it is not part of your normal routine. Enjoy them for years!
