Vinyl tablecloths can provide an excellent table covering for messy eaters--especially children. The smooth vinyl surface is easy to clean and difficult to stain. After-dinner clean-up often involves little more than a quick swipe with a damp cloth. The downside to these is that they cannot be laundered the way fabric tablecloths can. When a vinyl tablecloth takes on the inevitable wrinkles, you can remove these creases with a quick treatment with a hair dryer.
Place the tablecloth on a clean, flat surface with the vinyl side facing down.
Plug in the hair dryer and turn it on high with a medium heat setting. With the dryer about 4 inches from the tablecloth, slowly move it along the creases to warm them.
Turn off the hair dryer when the vinyl is warm and soft, and stretch the tablecloth out flat on the table. This should relax and remove the creases.
