How do I clean the scratcher mats?

Troubleshooting

Cat is not using the scratcher

Sprinkle catnip on the mat or gently rub your cat's paws on it to associate it with scratching. Ensure the mat is placed in an area your cat frequents.

Mat is slipping on the floor

Ensure the latex backing is clean and dry. For smoother floors, consider using the included adhesive hook and loop tapes for added security.

Adhesive tape not holding firmly

Clean the surface thoroughly before applying. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds. For very smooth surfaces, a stronger adhesive might be needed, or opt for floor placement.

Sisal fibers coming loose

This is normal with heavy use. Trim any significantly loose fibers with scissors. If extensive fraying occurs, consider replacing the mat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a dedicated scratching surface, protecting furniture.
  • Large size accommodates multiple cats and offers ample scratching area.
  • Durable natural sisal material is safe and satisfying for cats.
  • Anti-slip backing and included tapes ensure secure placement.
  • Easy to clean and maintain compared to traditional cardboard scratchers.
  • Can be used on floors, walls, or furniture for versatile scratching options.

Cons

  • Some cats may need encouragement to use the mats initially.
  • Sisal material may produce minor fibers over time with heavy use.
  • Adhesive tapes may leave residue on delicate surfaces.
  • Larger cats might find the size restrictive for full-body stretches.
  • Not designed for outdoor use in harsh weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the mats and allow them to lay flat for a short period. If using the adhesive tapes, ensure the surface you intend to attach the mat to is clean and dry. Peel off the backing of the tape and firmly press the mat into place.

Compatibility: These mats are compatible with most indoor environments. They can be placed on hardwood floors, carpets, tile, walls (painted or wallpapered), and fabric upholstery. The non-slip backing provides stability on smooth surfaces, while the adhesive tapes offer secure mounting on vertical or angled areas.

Care: To clean the mats, a quick vacuuming is usually sufficient to remove loose cat hair and debris. For more thorough cleaning, take the mats outdoors and give them a firm shake. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this may damage the sisal and backing. Regular inspection of the mats for wear and tear is recommended.
