Can you put oilcloth in the washing machine.

My tablecloth is grotty. Mainly the edging is grubby but it could do with a thorough clean.

Can I put it in washing machine / hand wash or is it really wipe clean only.

Could you just trim the edges off?

I have put mine through the machine a few times, it seems fine.

Put mine in all the time (and have trimmed off the manky edges too).

I've taken it outside and mopped it Grin but it has helped the edges.

Will try machine

Trouble with oilcloth is you can't wipe the back, and this is what my dog rubs up against, and it looked really sordid. So I washed it in the machine and it looked so rubbish I threw it away.
