What Spritz Rectangular Table Cover is made of, ingredients and materials
This tablecloth is polyester fabric treated with a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coating. Target does not publicly specify the chemical composition of the water-repellent coating finish, which is the core concern, water-repellent coating coatings historically relied on PFAS, though some newer formulations use fluorine-free or non-fluorinated alternatives. Without disclosure, you cannot confirm whether this product contains legacy PFAS compounds (PFOA, PFOS) or their newer replacements.
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.
PFAS
Water-repellent coating chemistry undisclosed by Target; legacy PFAS compounds remain common in polyester coatings at this price point, though fluorine-free alternatives exist. No confirmation either way for this specific SKU.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating degradation and shedding
Water-repellent coating coatings on budget tablecloths often degrade within 1-2 years of use and washing. Shedding fragments or chemical residues are unlikely to pose acute toxicity but indicate loss of product integrity.
What’s reassuring
Azo dyes in polyester fabric
No recalls or warnings on record. Polyester textiles for home use are not required to meet restrictive dye standards as apparel; hazard is low but not independently tested for this product.
Heavy metals
No data available on this product. Polyester tablecloths intended for food contact are not federally regulated for lead or cadmium; direct food contact risk is low for a table surface, but no third-party testing on record.
Source, FDA ↗Antimony in polyester base fabric
Antimony is used as a polymerization catalyst in some polyester production. Leaching into food or skin is minimal during normal tablecloth use; no warnings or recalls found for this product category.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Target has not published a detailed chemicals policy specific to textile water-repellent treatments, nor does it voluntarily disclose water-repellent coating chemistry on product labels or safety data sheets for home goods. The company has faced scrutiny for PFAS use in apparel but has not committed to full transparency or phase-out timelines for tablecloths and home textiles. No recalls or safety warnings are on record for this specific product.
How it compares in its category
Polyester tablecloths with water-repellent coatings are common at mass retail; most competitors (Threshold, Everyett, Amazon Basics) similarly withhold water-repellent coating chemistry. Budget alternatives without water repellency exist but sacrifice stain resistance. Premium or certified options (e.g., organic cotton tablecloths, OEKO-TEX certified polyester) offer chemical transparency but at higher cost and reduced water-shedding performance.
If you buy it
Wash before first use to reduce any loose finishes or residues. Use cool or warm water only; avoid high heat, which could degrade the water-repellent coating and potentially mobilize chemicals. Do not bleach or dry-clean. Replace if coating visibly peels, flakes, or degrades. Inspect annually for damage; a compromised coating loses its function and may warrant replacement within 2-3 years of regular use.
