Creases out of PVC tablecloth

Options
Hi, don't know if anyone can help me. I bought a PVC tablecloth and its arrive and is lovely but is full of creases where it's been folded. I am scared to put the iron over it! Any ideas how I can get the creases out?

    Try putting a folded sheet or towel over it and gently press.

    I have had this problem too. They just flatten out in a day or so. Try putting something heavy over the creases but stay away from the iron idea as you will ruin the surface of the pvc cloth.

    Mine was the same, the instructions said to roll it up tightly to remove them, it worked a treat.

    I've ironed a PVC tablecloth through a thick cloth, it came up nicely with a bit of steam.
  • You can also try spreading it out in the sunshine - if we get anymore sunshine this year!!
  • Hairdryer pointed at it?

    If you have one hang it on the washing line and the weight may drop the creases out or failing that warm iron through a thin duvet or thick towel

    Thanks all - I went with the ironing over a tea towel and then I rolled it up to store it and its great. Thanks so much.

    Suki, a life lesson for £5, seems like good value to me :rotfl:
    I have changed my work-life balance to a life-work balance. :grin:
