Textured Rectangular Waterproof Wipeable Dining Cover
Skip until brand discloses treatment chemistry; waterproof textiles often use PFAS.
This brand's waterproof and stain-resistant treatment makeup goes unspecified. Textiles with these performance claims typically need water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coatings historically based on PFAS. Without explicit material disclosure or independent testing, PFAS presence can't be ruled out.

What Textured Rectangular Dining Cover is made of, ingredients and materials
This tablecloth is polyester or polyester blend treated with a water and stain-resistant finish. The treatment chemistry is undisclosed by the brand, which is the core safety problem, waterproof textile coatings commonly rely on PFAS (PFAS "forever chemicals") to repel liquids. Polyester itself is stable, but the applied finish determines whether this product releases chemicals into food contact or air over time.
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.
Antimony in polyester
Antimony is a catalyst used in polyester production; trace residual amounts can remain in the finished fiber. Levels in food-contact textiles are typically very low and migration risk is minimal, but not zero.
Coating degradation and particle shedding
Waterproof finishes on polyester naturally degrade with use and washing. As coating breaks down, small particles and potentially unreacted chemical residues can shed into food or washing water; replacement on a regular schedule mitigates this.
PFAS
The manufacturer has not publicly specified whether this treatment uses PFAS, silicones, acrylics, or other chemistries. Without disclosure, migrant risk from the finish cannot be properly assessed.
Source, ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Azo dyes
Polyester textiles may be dyed with azo colorants; no specific safety alerts on record for the brand's tablecloths, and the brand's eco positioning suggests screening, but full dye chemistry is not publicly disclosed.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Formaldehyde-based resins are sometimes used to set dyes or finishes in textiles. No public record of formaldehyde content in this specific product; The brand's profile suggests avoidance, but absence of published testing does not confirm zero exposure.

The brand's record and disclosure
The brand markets itself as a sustainable, health-conscious brand with transparency commitments, yet provides no public breakdown of the water-resistant treatment used in this product. The company has not published a PFAS phase-out commitment for textiles as of available records. This silence is notable given that competitors in the eco-minded tablecloth space increasingly disclose fluorine-free or PFAS-free water treatments; The brand's lack of such messaging suggests either conventional PFAS chemistry or deliberate non-disclosure.
How it compares in its category
Wipeable dining covers marketed as waterproof typically fall into two camps, those using PFAS-based durable water repellents (common, long-lasting) and those using non-fluorinated alternatives (newer, increasingly available). The brand's position is unclear because of missing disclosure. Budget alternatives often use acrylic or PVC coatings with different trade-offs; premium eco-brands increasingly specify PFAS-free treatments. Without transparency, this product sits in an ambiguous middle ground.
If you buy it
Avoid prolonged contact between hot food and the tablecloth surface; heat can accelerate leaching from the applied finish. Do not machine wash or bleach, as harsh cleaning can damage the coating and release particles. Wipe with mild soap and cool water only. Replace every 2-3 years if heavily used, as coating degradation accelerates wear. Before purchase, contact directly asking for the specific water-resistant treatment chemistry; if they will not disclose PFAS status, that silence itself is a data point for your decision.
