There are alot of expensive French tablecloths that are actual cotton treated with a plastic like covering that makes them VERY resistant to wine or gravy or ?? spills. Does anyone know of a commercial product that I can purchase and apply myself??

Scotch Guard. Apply a light coat and let it dry. Repeat twice. With three coats, let it rest at least a day before using it. Every time you launder it, do another coat. Best wishes 😇
First, apply a spray-on repellent like Thompson's WaterSeal FabricSeal. Apply two to three coats, allowing each one to dry thoroughly before re-applying.
If you want super stain-proofing, follow with a fabric wax like Otter Wax: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008PJV0P2/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_rqCKzbG9F9BQP You don't have to apply too much pressure; just rub the bar of wax firmly over the fabric. Then, take a hair dryer and heat the wax coating so it liquifies and absorbs into the fiber. Allow the tablecloth to cool and dry thoroughly before putting it on your table.
Thompson's is amazing!!! Good luck!!
