Crate & Barrel Merrow Stitch Warm Natural Organic Cotton Tablecloth vs Home Fashions Continental Solid Texture Water and Stain Resistant Tablecloth: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Azo dyes and synthetic colorants, Pesticide residues from cotton cultivation and Microbial growth and mold from retained moisture on the Crate and Barrel and not on the Elrene.
• We flag Fluorochemical coating (PFAS class) leachable and degradation products, Azo dyes (synthetic colorants), Formaldehyde or formaldehyde resin finishes (wrinkle resistance, dimensional stability) and Coating particle shedding and microfiber release on the Elrene and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• The Crate and Barrel is 100% organic cotton, no coating where the Elrene is Polyester blend with water and stain resistant coating, unspecified, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Crate and Barrel is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Elrene grade, at 45% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
