Milton (or Asda cheap version)

Cool, I've got some Milton in the cupboard I'll try that tomorrow.

I'm not being precious about a crappy plastic tablecloth (honest!) it's just I only got it last week! Serves me right for getting a black & White (cow print) one I guess?

A little bit of WD40 should lift it - never needed to try it myself but the nice lady in John Lewis recommended it when I bought my tablecloth!

Just hang it in the sunshine. Should disappear.

Hang it on the line and see if the sun bleaches them out?

Milton did the trick - thanks!

Rub with kitchen paper soaked in cooking oil then wipe with detergent. Works a treat on plastic boxes used for keeping spat Bol. Should work for plastic table cloths. Sunlight too! Fabric needs to be wet then UV makes tomato vanish like magic.
