Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Dog & Duck,' a traditional pub in the heart of the Peak District, wanted to refresh its dining area to feel more welcoming for tourists and locals alike, without undertaking a costly refurbishment. They replaced their plain white tablecloths with the Olympia red checkered table covers.
“The difference was immediate. The whole dining room just feels warmer and more inviting. Best of all, our laundry turnaround is so much faster. They come out of a low-temperature wash looking great and barely need ironing, which saves my team hours each week.”
Robert Evans – Pub Landlord
The simple change helped increase their mid-week dinner bookings and reduced linen-related staff time by over 25%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the tablecloth a wash before its first use to remove any packaging creases and soften the fabric.
- If ironing is needed, use a low to medium heat setting to avoid damaging the polyester fibres.
- Ensure your table is clean and dry before dressing it to prevent moisture from being trapped underneath.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, machine wash at a low temperature (around 30-40°C) with similar colours.
- Avoid using chlorine bleach as it can damage the fabric and cause the vibrant red colour to fade.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Remove promptly to minimise creasing.
- Treat any potential stains quickly by blotting, not rubbing, before they have a chance to set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tablecloth waterproof?
A: It is not fully waterproof, but its 100% polyester fabric is water-resistant, causing spills to bead on the surface initially, allowing for quick clean-up.
Q: Does the red colour bleed in the wash?
A: No, the fabric is colourfast. We recommend washing with similar colours on a low-temperature cycle to maintain its vibrancy for years to come.
Q: Can I tumble dry this tablecloth?
A: Yes, it can be tumble-dried on a low heat setting. For best results, remove it promptly to prevent deep creases from setting in.
Q: How easily does it stain?
A: Polyester is naturally more stain-resistant than cotton. Most common food and drink spills can be wiped away easily if dealt with quickly.
Q: What's the best way to get rid of wrinkles?
A: A quick tumble dry on low or a light pass with an iron on a low setting will easily remove any creases. Often, simply laying it on the table is enough for minor wrinkles to fall out.
Q: Is the material soft or does it feel like plastic?
A: It's designed to be soft to the touch, mimicking the feel of a traditional tablecloth while offering the durable benefits of polyester.
Q: Is the 1780 x 1780mm size suitable for a round table?
A: Yes, a square cloth can be used on a small round table. It will create four points of drape, which can be a very elegant look.
Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?
A: While durable, it is primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may eventually cause the colours to fade.
The Olympia Advantage: Consistent Quality for Your Brand
Choosing Olympia for your tableware isn't just a purchase; it's a strategic decision for your business's day-to-day operations. Beyond the durable polyester and classic design of this Olympia HB583 gingham tablecloth, you're investing in consistency. Olympia is a brand built on understanding the pressures of the commercial catering world. They know that a tablecloth needs to do more than look good on day one—it needs to look just as good after a hundred wash cycles. This focus on long-term value means fewer replacements, lower laundry costs, and less staff time spent on maintenance. It ensures that every table you set presents a unified, professional image that your customers will notice. This is how you build brand trust: with reliable, quality details that work flawlessly behind the scenes, allowing you to focus on creating a memorable guest experience.

When you see '100% Polyester' on a commercial tablecloth, it's not just about cost. It’s a deliberate choice for efficiency. Unlike natural fibres like cotton which act like a sponge, polyester fibres are far less absorbent. This means when a customer spills a drink, the liquid tends to bead up on the surface for a moment, giving your staff a crucial window to wipe it clean before it soaks in and stains.
Think of it like the difference between a paper kitchen towel and a modern water-resistant jacket. One gets soggy and stays that way, while the other protects what's underneath and dries in a flash. This property, combined with its resistance to shrinking and creasing in the wash, is what makes this commercial gingham tablecloth a true workhorse. It drastically cuts down on laundry time, reduces the need for harsh stain removers, and keeps your tables looking consistently smart with minimal effort.
