Fire Retardant

If you have not purchased your table cloths or cloth banners (not vinyl) items new in the last 5 years, you may need tp fire treat them. This also includes any cloth coverings you wish to use to cover your booth at night. Fire treating is easy and can be done at home with both a natural or with a purchased synthetic compound. Any cloth over the hotel table cloth will need to be fire treated. If your product is made from cloth, you do not have to fire treat your stock. Fire retardant can be purchased at Home Depot or on line on Amazon. Or you can use one of the methods on this website
