STAIN-RESISTANT TABLECLOTH - 140x180 cm / Autumn
Skip until coating chemistry is disclosed; stain-resistant textiles commonly use PFAS-based water-repellent coating.
The brand provides no coating composition information for this stain-resistant tablecloth. Stain and water resistance on textiles historically relies on PFAS-based water-repellent coating treatments.

What STAIN-RESISTANT TABLECLOTH / Autumn is made of, ingredients and materials
This tablecloth is a textile with an unnamed stain-resistant coating applied to the surface. The base fabric composition is not specified in available product information. Stain-resistant coatings on textiles are typically either PFAS-based durable water repellents (water-repellent coating) or, less commonly, silicone or polyurethane alternatives. Without disclosure of which chemistry is used, the presence of fluorinated compounds cannot be ruled out, and this is the primary safety concern for tablecloths in this category.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Stain-resistant coatings may incorporate formaldehyde releasers as fixatives or cross-linkers; consumer exposure occurs primarily during application. No testing data available for this product. Off-gassing diminishes significantly after initial washing.
Source, ATSDR ↗Microfiber shedding or fiber degradation
Repeated washing of synthetic textile blends can lead to microfiber loss, particularly if coating integrity degrades. Synthetic microfibers are ingested in food if tablecloth fibers contaminate the surface; risk is mitigated by proper care and regular washing.
Coating leachates migrating to food during use
Direct contact between coated surface and food or saliva can mobilize residual coating monomers or additives, particularly if the coating is freshly applied or abraded. No manufacturer data sheet provided to assess additive toxicity or migration rates.
What’s reassuring
Azo dyes in fabric
No product information or brand history indicates use of azo dyes or presence of carcinogenic aniline dyes. Standard textile dyes in tablecloths are generally tested for azo content; no specific concern identified for this product.
Heavy metals
No product-specific information indicates use of lead or cadmium in colorants. The brand does not provide third-party dye testing results. Standard textile manufacturing practices in the EU and North America generally exclude heavy-metal-based dyes.

The brand's record and disclosure
The brand has not publicly disclosed the chemical composition of its stain-resistant coating or provided certifications such as OEKO-TEX, GOTS, or Bluesign. No independent testing reports or manufacturer safety data sheets are readily available for this product line. The brand's silence on coating chemistry is a significant transparency gap, particularly given the prevalence of PFAS use in stain-resistant textiles and regulatory movement against indefinite-chain fluorinated compounds in the EU and parts of North America.
How it compares in its category
Conventional stain-resistant tablecloths (polyester or cotton blends with water-repellent coating finishes) commonly carry PFAS-based coatings, making this product representative of a higher-risk segment. PFAS-free alternatives exist from brands that explicitly certify PFAS-free water-repellent coating (such as wax-based or silicone water repellents), though they are less common and may require more frequent washing. Untreated or minimally treated natural textiles (linen, organic cotton) eliminate coating hazards but sacrifice stain resistance; this product occupies the middle ground with unknown chemistry.
If you buy it
Wash before first use to reduce any residual coating chemicals. Machine wash in cool water with mild detergent; avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade water-repellent finishes prematurely. Do not dry-clean, as some solvents may strip or alter the coating. Inspect annually for coating degradation (loss of bead-up or water resistance); once substantially compromised, replacement is recommended. If you purchase despite the coating mystery, request the manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) for the coating agent to verify PFAS status.
