FAQs

What are the dimensions of the placemats and coasters?

The placemats measure approximately 30cm x 20cm, and the coasters measure approximately 10cm x 10cm.

Can I place hot pots directly on the placemats?

Yes, the slate placemats are suitable for placing hot and cold food directly on them. However, for extremely hot cookware, allowing it to cool slightly before placing it on the placemat is advisable to prolong its pristine condition.

How do I clean the slate set?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and dishwashers.

Are the anti-slip pads effective on all table surfaces?

The anti-slip pads are designed to enhance stability and protect surfaces. They generally perform well on most smooth, dry table finishes. If your table surface is particularly textured or uneven, performance may vary.

Will the slate absorb stains?

Natural slate is relatively non-porous, but it is recommended to wipe away spills promptly to prevent any potential staining, especially from oily or brightly colored foods.

Is the color of the slate consistent?

As it is a natural material, there may be slight variations in color and texture between pieces, which adds to the unique character of the set.

Can I buy additional placemats or coasters separately?

This guide focuses on the 8-piece set. Please refer to the retailer's product listing for information on purchasing individual items or additional sets.

Troubleshooting

Placemat/coaster has white residue after cleaning

Ensure you are using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. Mineral deposits from water can sometimes leave residue; a gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth should remove it.

Slight chips on the edge

Handle with care during use and storage. Minor chips are a characteristic of natural slate and do not typically affect functionality. If significant, consider relocating the damaged piece to a less visible serving area.

Water marks or stains appearing

Wipe spills immediately and dry thoroughly after cleaning. Ensure no prolonged contact with liquids. For persistent marks, a light application of food-grade mineral oil can sometimes help restore appearance, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
