The one downside to hosting season is the increased possibility of spills and stains. And, of course, the area that's most-likely to fall victim to such incidents is your dining room. However, those pretty tablescapes should not go to waste after just one festive soirée. And you should not be afraid of using light, minimalist fabrics in fear of blemishes.
The bad news... Since table runners are usually aligned to the center of the table and typically hold all of the platters on your menu for the evening, they tend to take the brunt of most of the stains. However, the good news is that they are fairly easy to clean. Regardless of whether they're woven from fabric or not, you can easily return them to their spotless state and style them back in the dining room for your next gathering.
