Question from petercsantoro@yahoo.com

I am trying to find a natural material tablecloth. Can I assume that if it is linen or 100% cotton (which isn’t easy to find), that it isn’t treated with any coating/ chemicals? Most do not state if their is any coating or not on the fabric… Do you have any recommendations for where to purchase? Thank you!

You can’t assume it’s not treated, but usually if it is treated it will say “permanent press” “easy care” or “Scotchguard”. Look for items that say “100% cotton” but don’t say “easy care” or anything else that might indicate a finish.

I have purchased cotton and linen table linens at Target, Bed Bath & Beyond and even Ross Dress for Less. Pier One has a lot of untreated cotton table linens.

Here are some natural fiber table linens on amazon.com:

Hemstitch Dinner Napkins

Hemstitch Table Cloth

Lots of cotton placemats
