FAQs
Are these placemats heat-resistant?
The marble material offers good heat resistance for typical dining temperatures. However, it is not recommended to place extremely hot cookware directly from the oven or stove onto the placemats for prolonged periods without a trivet.
Can I put these placemats in the dishwasher?
No, these placemats are not dishwasher safe. They should be hand-washed only using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
How do I prevent water spots or rings?
Wipe spills and condensation from glasses immediately with a dry cloth. Ensure coasters are dry before placing drinks on them.
What is the material of the placemats?
The placemats are crafted from natural marble with a glazed finish.
Does the black finish chip easily?
The glazed finish is durable for normal use. However, like most hard surfaces, they can chip if dropped or subjected to strong impact.
Are the coasters separate or attached to the placemats?
The set includes four separate, matching coasters that coordinate with the four placemats.
What are the dimensions of the placemats and coasters?
The placemats and coasters have a width and depth of 250mm and a height of 15mm.
Troubleshooting
Placemats slide on the table.
Ensure the table surface is clean and dry. The non-slip base works best on a smooth, dry surface.
Stains appearing on the placemat.
Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent stains, use a specialized natural stone cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
Matte or dull finish after cleaning.
You may have used an abrasive cleaner. Try cleaning gently with a damp cloth and a mild, pH-neutral soap. Ensure you rinse and dry completely.
Placemat feels rough or pitted.
This could be etching from acidic liquids. Prompt cleaning is key. For minor etching, a marble polish might help, but severe etching may be permanent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Hestia Marble Round Placemat & Coaster Set requires no assembly. Simply unbox and place them on your desired table surface.
Compatibility: Designed for use on most flat, stable surfaces such as wood, glass, or laminate dining tables and coffee tables. Ensure the surface is dry before placing the placemats to maximize the non-slip function.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean immediately with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the marble's finish.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for natural stone. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely.
- Heat Resistance: While marble offers some heat resistance, avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the surface for extended periods. Use trivets for very hot pots or pans.
- Acidic Substances: Promptly wipe away spills from acidic foods or beverages (like lemon juice, vinegar, or wine) to prevent etching.
- Drying: Always ensure the placemats and coasters are completely dry before stacking or storing to prevent moisture buildup.
