I love the black and white. I want to order some to make new covers for my kitchen chairs. Which is better to use- the laminated cotton, or the oil cloth? I have 4 kids... so I need it to be durable. Do you ever send out swatch samples? I'm a little worried about ordering the right color! Thanks!
I am so sorry for the late response, I remember your question while I was cleaning off my laminated cotton tablecloth this morning.
I think you will be fine with the laminated cotton, I have been using my tablecloth for years now and it has held up nicely. Laminated Cotton is better for kids since it is BPA and Phthalate free but it is thinner and I think the oilcloth would hold up longer.
Sorry, it's a tricky question and I am afraid I have confused the issue more. Just holler if you have any other questions.
Please note that the recent Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) prohibits oilcloth garments such as bibs and aprons or toys for children. While there are no heavy metals in oilcloth, it does contain Phthalates, which softens the plastic coating used to manufacture Oilcloth. With this in mind it may not be suited for Snack Bags and Sandwich Wraps especially for children. I suggest using the more family friendly Laminated Cottons. Also note we plan to expand our selection of this new lux oilcloth in the near future.
