Troubleshooting
Placemat has a slight odor after washing
Ensure the placemat is thoroughly rinsed and completely air-dried. For persistent odors, try soaking it in a diluted white vinegar solution for 30 minutes, then rinse and air dry.
Placemat is not lying flat
Lay the placemat flat on a warm surface (like a sunlit windowsill) for a short period, or gently roll it in the opposite direction of the curl to help it flatten out.
Food residue is sticking to the placemat
Ensure you are using mild soap and warm water. For difficult residues, a gentle scrub with a soft brush or a baking soda paste can be effective before washing.
