We have this tablecloth for our 1st birthday kids ordered because the table oval after drawing was. Actually, I was looking for something made of rubber but since unfortunately I did not find something suitable. This from here looks like cloth. Feels even to so. My son recently came to my husband's coffee cup and you could really absorb only with a paper towel everything. Similar to the lotus effect remained floating on the surface and not Kaffeesee moved in. I then wiped with a damp cloth and you would need the tablecloth really do not wash the same. It has really hardly seen anything else. Would I buy it again!
