Troubleshooting
Placemat has a slight odor.
Ensure the placemat is thoroughly washed with soap and water and allowed to air dry completely. For persistent odors, try soaking it in a diluted vinegar solution for an hour, then rinse and dry.
Placemat is not lying flat.
Unroll the placemat and place it in direct sunlight for a short period, or try gently rolling it in the opposite direction. Ensure the surface it is placed on is completely flat.
Food seems to be sticking to the surface.
This is uncommon with food-grade silicone. Ensure you are using mild soap and water for cleaning. If a specific sticky food caused this, try a slightly warmer water rinse or the baking soda paste method.
