The Neighborhood Salon

The Neighborhood Salon in Echo Park, CA is a stylish, community driven business in one of our favorite parts of Los Angeles! Owner Ava strives "to create a place that embodies the vibrance of the community she loves." We had our hair done there and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. These oilcloth lined cubbys serve as inspiration for your own household oilcloth projects! The beautiful and colorful paint makes a great pairing with the vintage flair of our Pears and Apples Yellow print!

Caring for Your Oilcloth

In order to provide the best quality care for your oilcloth tablecloth and/or products make sure never to machine wash. The fabric is waterproof and water will not flow through it. Common sense says to use a warm, soapy sponge. For extra shine use white vinegar and water to remove any soap film from your oilcloth. Always store your oilcloth clean and dry. Check out Textile Industry Affairs for more information about care of your fabrics.
