Please don't use enzyme cleaners on anything you want to last. An enzyme is a molecule that makes other molecules react with each other. The enzyme doesn't get used up--it goes to another set of the molecules to make them react, and so on. The key is that it *doesn't*get*used*up*. If you don't get every molecule out, which is a lot harder than you think, the enzymes will continue to try to do their job. I've seen pictures of fish bones that were cleaned in an enzyme laundry booster. The bones had been "thoroughly" rinsed after treatment, but a few years later the bones were about half gone, mostly bits and grit in the boxes. Now, I know the tablecloth in question is not intended as an heirloom, but you may do enough damage that it's unusable in a few years. Just my opinion, Robin P.
