Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: Please tell me how to get packaging creases out of vinyl tablecloths. I’ve tried using weights on them and tried washing them in hot water and hanging them to dry. Nothing seems to work. Help me, Heloise. — Rose from New Jersey

Rose, I’m here to help! All you need to do is put the tablecloth in the dryer on low heat for a couple of minutes along with a couple of damp bath towels. Take the tablecloth out and,while it is still warm, smooth out the wrinkles. Still there? Just put it back into the dryer for a couple more minutes. Check every minute to be sure that it doesn’t get too hot. Now, place flat on your table surface. Voila, wrinkle-free! — Heloise
