FAQ

How do the table cloths work?
Our tablecloths are designed to be coloured in using our washable markers. Once they’ve finished, simply wipe or wash the tablecloth, and it’s ready to use again!

What kind of markers should I use?
We recommend using our specially designed non-toxic, washable markers, which are triangular and easier for little hands to hold correctly. These markers have been extensively tested on our tablecloths!

Can I put the tablecloth in the dryer?
No, we do not recommend using the dryer to dry the cloth. We recommend air drying your tablecloth to preserve its quality and waterproof backing.

The markers haven't come out completely?
Try washing again, ensuring the tablecloth isn’t twisted and preventing agitation. If ink remains, lie your cloth out in direct sunlight for an hour or so - the ink is UV sensitive so bleaches out quickly!in the wash?

Are the designs reusable after washing?
Yes! The printed designs remain intact after washing, allowing your child to colour in the same patterns again or experiment with new colours.

Do the tablecloths environmentally friendly?
Yes! The waterproof PUL backing helps protect your table from spills and messes, making it ideal for mealtime, craft activities, and playtime.

Do the tablecloths stain over time?
If used with washable markers and cleaned promptly, your tablecloth should remain stain-free. However, prolonged exposure to certain dyes may leave light marks over time.
Are there different designs available?

Can I iron the tablecloth?
On a low heat, you can iron the tablecloth on the printed side. Do not iron on the backing side, this will melt the PUL backing!

Can I buy extra washable markers?
Yes! We sell additional sets of our specially designed non-toxic, washable markers so kids can keep colouring again and again.

How long do the tablecloths last?
With proper care, our tablecloths are designed to last for years, providing endless hours of creative fun and family engagement.

Are they suitable for outdoor use?
Yes! They are great for picnics, BBQs, and outdoor play. Just make sure to bring them inside after use to keep them in top condition.

Can I use permanent markers on the tablecloth?
No, permanent markers will not wash out. Only use our Wash Away markers to keep your tablecloth reusable.

How long do the markers last?
With the cap properly replaced after use, the markers should last for many hours of colouring fun. Store them horizontally to keep the ink flowing evenly.

What should I do if the ink dries out?
If a marker dries out, try placing the tip in a small amount of warm water for a few minutes to help revive it. Always cap markers tightly after use.

Will the ink wash out of clothes?
The ink is designed to wash out of most fabrics with a warm/hot wash cycle. For best results, wash clothing as soon as possible after colouring. However, as our markers have only been tested extensively on our tablecloths we are unable to offer any guarantee for ink on clothing or other fabrics and surfaces.

What makes the Colour Me Kids Wash Away Markers different from other washable markers?
Our Wash Away Markers are ultra-washable, designed to easily wash out of our Washable, Reusable, Waterproof colouring in tablecloths, and smudges come off children's skin with minimal effort - making them perfect for mess-free colouring fun! They also feature a triangular barrel, which is ideal for teaching correct pencil grip.

Can the markers stain skin?
The ink is designed to wash off skin easily. However, if applied directly, it may take a few washes to completely fade. Warm water and soap should help remove any lingering ink.
