A Shower Curtain: An attractive plastic tablecloth used as a shower curtain is a great way to enhance your bathroom decor. The material would last longer in the moist environment and work as a makeover for your bathroom in minutes!

A High Chair Dropcloth: If your baby has a habit of flinging food, spread a plastic tablecloth under your baby’s high chair to protect your floor.

A Shelf Liner: Instead of throwing away your old plastic tablecloths, use them as shelf liners by cutting them to the shelf size. For periodic cleaning of the shelf, use a damp sponge for wiping away the dust/dirt.

Other uses:

Save yourself from a back ache post raking leaves. Collect the leaves onto a plastic tablecloth, hold the four corners together and drag the tablecloth to the place where you wish to dispose-off the leaves.

Protect your floor from the water that spills while watering your indoor plants by keeping a plastic tablecloth under the pot. Cut it to a size that is a few inches bigger than the diameter of the pot. It can also be used under your Christmas tree stand for the same reason.

If you have a baby at home you know what it means if there happens to be a bedwetting accident! A plastic tablecloth works best in such tricky situations. Spread the plastic tablecloth on your mattress and cover it with a sheet. If there is an accident, your mattress is safe and you can wash just the sheets and the tablecloth, that’s it!

Plastic tablecloths can do much more for you than being just a protection for the table beneath!
