FAQs
Are these placemats heat proof?
They are heat resistant and designed to withstand the temperature of standard hot dinner plates, but should not be used as trivets for items coming directly off a stovetop.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?
No, these placemats are not dishwasher safe. Submerging them in water will damage the cork base and the integrity of the mat.
What are the dimensions of the placemat?
Each mat measures 238mm in width and 201mm in depth.
How do I remove stubborn marks?
Use a soft cloth dampened with a gentle cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could mar the melamine surface.
Is the cork backing safe for all table surfaces?
Yes, the cork is soft and designed to be non-abrasive, making it safe for delicate surfaces like glass, wood, and lacquer.
Troubleshooting
Stains appearing on the melamine surface
Wipe immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive scouring pads which may scratch the finish.
Placemat sliding on table surface
Ensure both the cork backing and the table surface are clean and free of dust or debris.
Cork backing becoming damp
Pat the cork dry with a clean towel and allow it to air dry fully in an upright position away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These placemats require no formal setup; simply place them on your dining surface with the cork side facing down. They are compatible with most standard rectangular and square dining tables. For long-term maintenance, it is crucial to avoid immersion in water, as this can damage the cork backing. Always use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent to wipe the surface clean. Immediately dry the mats after wiping to prevent moisture accumulation. Keep them away from high-heat sources such as open flames or direct contact with stovetops.
