Good morning! I have a few questions. 1. How do you remove set in stains from a linen tablecloth? 2. How do you iron a giant tablecloth? 3. Are those pricey French coated-cotton tablecloths worth it? Do they really just need to be wiped clean? Thanks!

It depends on how long the stains have been there, to be honest. Sometimes you can soak in hot water and an oxygen boost like Branch Basics (this is the best one I've used.). Large tablecloths can be soaked in a bathtub. Ironing a giant tablecloth is no fun but I do it! Ironing board and then I do half a little at a time and then do the other side. Depending on the fabric, sometimes I spray with a little water and then iron. I often set up in front of the TV so I watch a show while I iron. I don't have experience with coated-cotton tablecloths. Maybe someone here does!
