Coated vs Green Sweet Fabric - Stain Resistant Linens
Stubborn stains on elegant cotton tablecloths can be frustrating, especially when they refuse to budge despite the amount of time you spend cleaning the material. For the elegant linens woven by Garnier-Thiebaut, there are two specialized treatments to make the linens stain-resistant to make clean-up a breeze: coated cotton and green sweet. By applying a triple layer of PVC-free acrylic coating to pure cotton, coated tablecloths become waterproof and stain-resistant while preserving their vibrant colors. For green sweet linen, on the other hand, each thread is treated with a stain-resistant treatment prior to weaving to prevent stains on the surface that makes it undetectable to the naked eye. In this blog post, we'll explore the differences between these two treatments and how they can make your life easier.
Our Coated Tablecloth – Your Best Ally for Everyday Use
Our coated fabric is made of 100% pure cotton that is covered with a triple layer of PVC-free acrylic coating that makes it waterproof, wrinkle-free, and stain resistant.
Thanks to this coating, stains can easily be removed, and the vibrant colors of your tablecloth are preserved. This linen is as easy to maintain as an oilcloth and as elegant as a traditional tablecloth.
Besides tablecloths, the unique easy-care, stain-resistant properties of our coated cotton can also be enjoyed through other everyday items woven by GT USA such as aprons and placemats.
These coated items are perfect for that morning picnic, evening garden party, or any other outdoor occasion that you have in mind. After a nice meal with friends and family, your linens will want to take a rest inside, preferably in a dark, dry, and cool area.
How Do You Remove a Red Wine Spill on a Coated Tablecloth?
To make clean-up very easy, a simple wipe with a clean sponge and some warm water should do the job. Plus, these linens only need to be washed occasionally with a little detergent and no fabric softener, and they can also be hung out to dry. However, we advise you not to use any dish soap or the abrasive side of your sponge as they might damage the coating and ruin its effectiveness. In addition, the coating makes these linens naturally wrinkle-resistant, but the coated side should never be ironed to prevent damage to both the tablecloth and the iron.
Our Green Sweet Tablecloth – A Soft and Breathable Eco-friendly Option
Our green sweet fabric takes a different approach, and this time, the technology itself is within 100% cotton fibers, instead of being on the surface. Because of that, the cloth feels like cotton and looks like cotton, but contains a special treatment to prevent stains on the surface.
Similarly, to coated cotton, stains and spills can be removed with a simple dab and swipe to preserve the colors and designs of the tablecloth.
Green sweet can also be seen in other products woven by GT USA such as aprons, table runners, and placemats, which are also easy to care for and stain resistant.
This type of linen is also great for both indoor and outdoor use to enjoy your time with friends and family. Once you are finished with the linens, bring them back inside and store them in a preferably dark, dry, and cool area.
How Do You Remove a Coffee Stain on a Green Sweet Tablecloth?
Because of how the material is created, there is no need to wash it before you use it for the first time. As for the stain removal process, you start by removing any physical residue from the surface and then gently dabbing the spill or stain with a damp sponge. If the stain is not completely gone, machine-wash it within 24 hours at a warm temperature with a color-safe detergent but without any fabric softener. You also need to tumble dry your linens on medium without the use of dryer sheets. Our green sweet line can also be ironed if you want to have that nice crisp finish to your linen. Ironing also helps to reactivate the technology within the fibers, so it stays durable and in your linen rotation for a long time.
In conclusion, having stain-resistant linens can be a game-changer when it comes to maintaining an elegant and clean home. Garnier-Thiebaut USA offers two special treatments to make their products stain-resistant: coated cotton and green sweet linen. Coated cotton is ideal for everyday use and is easy to maintain with a simple wipe and the occasional wash. On the other hand, the green sweet is an eco-friendly option that is soft and breathable, requiring no pre-wash and is also easy-care and stain resistant. Both our coated cotton and green sweet line of products provide a hassle-free way to keep your Garnier-Thiebaut USA linens looking their best, making them a great investment for any household.
