What is Oilcloth?
Original oilcloth was once made by treating canvas or linen with linseed oil and block printed with beautiful decorative designs. The original techniques have become rare and commercially obsolete with the introduction of non-cracking plastics and rotogravure printing process.
Modern “oilcloth” is a printed vinyl bonded and supported with a woven cotton blend mesh. Characterized by shiny wipe-clean surface, lightweight flexible texture, brilliant colors, and fabulous nostalgic prints. Fabric is PVC vinyl with poly/cotton backing.

What to expect when you buy Oilcloth
Because of the methods used in manufacturing our oilcloth you will find VARIATIONS such as SQUIGGLES, SPECKLES, WRINKLES & OFF REGISTER PRINTING which are NORMAL, INHERENT, and MAY OCCUR. These will not affect the quality & durability of the fabric and should not be considered cause for return. Backings and color lots may vary.
.
Safety Guidelines
The recent Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) prohibits oilcloth garments such as bibs and aprons or toys for children under age 12.
This is due to the level of phthalates (a softener present in all vinyl) in the PVC vinyl of which oilcloth is made.
There are no heavy metals in oilcloth.
The fabric has been tested and passes the National Fire Protection Agency 701 classification for commercial and residential use.
.
Care and Cleaning of Oilcloth
Recommended cleaning for oilcloth fabric is with a warm, soapy sponge or soft cloth. Never machine wash. Dry with a softcloth. Store folded or rolled, clean and dry. The fabric is waterproof as well as stain and soil resistant.
If your fabric becomes wrinked or creased from storage, spread it out in the sun or a warm area to soften and relax folds.
Fading may occur under intense direct sunlight for extended periods as oilcloth does not contain a UV inhibitor. Take care with extreme exposure to long term sunlight.
All products are wipe clean only – not machine washable. Do not put in dryer! Do not iron
