FAQs
How many placemats are included in a set?
Each set includes four cork placemats.
Are these placemats heat resistant?
While they offer some protection against moderate heat, it is recommended to use a trivet for very hot dishes to prevent damage to the cork material.
Can I put these placemats in the dishwasher?
No, these placemats are not dishwasher safe. Hand-washing with a damp cloth is the recommended cleaning method.
What is the design inspiration for these placemats?
The design is inspired by Mediterranean orchards and features a vibrant citrus fruit pattern by Jennifer Rose, including oranges, lemons, green leaves, and blossoms.
Are the placemats waterproof?
The placemats are water-resistant, meaning they can handle minor spills if wiped up promptly. They are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
What material are the placemats made of?
The placemats are made of durable cork.
How should I store these placemats?
Store them flat in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Placemats slide on the table.
Ensure the table surface is clean and dry. Wipe the underside of the placemat to remove any dust or residue that might be affecting the grip.
Stains are visible on the placemat.
Wipe the stained area immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, try a slightly diluted mixture of water and white vinegar, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Placemat has a slight odor.
This can occasionally happen with cork products. Air out the placemats in a well-ventilated area for a few days. The odor should dissipate naturally.
Surface appears slightly damaged or scratched.
Minor surface scratches are common with regular use. Avoid using sharp objects directly on the placemats. For deeper gouges, the aesthetic may be affected, but functional protection remains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These placemats require no assembly. Simply remove them from their packaging and place them on your desired table surface. Ensure the table is clean and dry before placing the placemats to maximize the effectiveness of the non-slip feature.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on most flat dining surfaces, including wood, glass, and laminate tables. They are designed to accommodate standard-sized dinner plates and serveware. For very hot dishes, it is recommended to use a trivet beneath the dish to prevent potential heat damage to the placemat.
Care: To clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the cork surface. Do not submerge the placemats in water. For stubborn stains, a gentle cleaning solution can be applied with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow placemats to air dry completely before storing or reusing. Promptly wipe up any liquid spills to prevent absorption into the cork.
