Protecting Your Wood Dining Tables Protects Your Investment
Your dining tables bring style and warmth to your home and they are an investment. To protect your investment and your wood tables you can use a very simple technique that is not costly and is fairly easy to do. This will keep your wood from damage over the years.
There are a few basic supplies you will need for the procedure that are easy to find. You will need a large cardboard box, one cloth tablecloth and one vinyl tablecloth, some packaging tape, a tape measure, a box cutter knife and a pencil.
Growing up my mother always used a padded table cover to protect her very expensive wood table from harm. That was admittedly a lot of years ago now but these pads are still available and can still be a very good idea. They can be ordered through the Internet or from mail order companies and are custom made for your table. This is one very good solution for protecting your table but it is a little costly.
There is a way to protect your table that is much more cost effective if you are able to put just a little time and effort into the project. The first things you will need to do for this procedure is take measurements of all the dimensions of your table top. Primarily you will need to write down the measurements for the width and also the length of the table top.
The cardboard box that you have should come from a very large object like a washing machine or refrigerator box. It needs to be dry and clean before you begin using it. Take your measuring tape and the pencil and mark the dimensions of the tabletop that you just wrote down. Use a straightedge and draw the outline of your table top. These are the lines you will cut so be sure you can see them well. You might want to do the cutting on the porch or patio so you don't have to worry about cutting something under the cardboard. With the box cutter knife cut out along the lines you have drawn.
Laying this cut out piece of cardboard on the top of your dining table will serve as a pad to protect the wood from any possible nicks or dents and will serve as some insulation against any hot pan or pots that may be set on the table.
Now you can use the vinyl tablecloth to cover your cardboard table pad and then tape the edges of the vinyl tablecloth to the bottom side of the table to keep it from moving. This will be the protection you need if something is spilled on the table. There will always be little accidents that mean wet marks on your delicate wood table plus those annoying water rings from drinks.
Now that you have successfully protected the top of your dining table you can cover it with a stylish tablecloth. This should be sufficient to conceal the homemade table pad and the vinyl cloth. This is the simplest and most inexpensive method of protecting your dining tables.
