Troubleshooting
Mat slides around the table
Ensure the table surface is clean and dry. The non-slip backing works best on smooth, dry surfaces.
Food stains are difficult to remove
Try making a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean. Dishwasher cleaning is also recommended.
Mat has a slight odor
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area. The odor should dissipate.
Mat appears sticky after cleaning
Ensure all soap residue has been rinsed off. Some silicone conditioners or oils can make surfaces feel sticky; try a mild detergent and thorough rinsing.
