I have a vinyl tablecloth that has been working really well for my family with a small kid--after meals we can just wipe it down, and it also doesn't slide around as much as a cloth one. And it's keeping my table protected.

But it's a cheap one from Amazon (boo) and starting to fray and fade in spots, and I've become concerned about whatever chemicals are in it being so close to our food. Didn't really think that thru with the initial purchase.

Any recommendations for a safer, lower-waste option? I figured this sub might sympathize with me trying to just buy one vs. needing to replace it all the time.

Thinking about getting something to cover the sometimes splinter-prone or bird dropping-covered standard wood picnic tables but not sure what table length is common (I've only done a few car camping trips recently now my kids are big enough).

I'm in CA if that matters, but was considering an elastic set and see either 6' or 8' options. Can't say for sure what we had back at Samuel P or Calaveras Big Trees.

Anyone know what's most common? Or have covers (ideally with bench coverage) they recommend?
