How to Dewrinkle a Vinyl Tablecloth

Vinyl tablecloths are a convenient way to protect your kitchen table, and they can also be used to cover blemishes or provide a sanitary outdoor surface for dining. They're inexpensive and you can pick one out to coordinate with holidays and special occasions. Store them in a cool dry place and reuse them again and again. If the one you'd like to use is wrinkled, you'll want to make it presentable again.
