These placemats offer a vibrant, artist-designed centerpiece for your dining table, though they are tailored for standard dinnerware rather than large serving platters due to their compact size.

FAQs
Are these placemats heat-resistant?
The cork base offers moderate heat protection against standard warm plates, but they should not be used as trivets for hot pots or pans directly from the stove.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?
No, these placemats are not dishwasher safe and should never be submerged in water.
What is the exact size of each mat?
Each placemat measures 20cm x 28cm, which is approximately 11 inches by 8 inches.
How many placemats come in a set?
This set includes 6 individual placemats.
Is the artwork printed on both sides?
No, the artwork is printed on the top surface, while the reverse side features natural cork for grip and protection.
Can I use these outdoors?
They are designed primarily for indoor use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or exposed to wet outdoor conditions for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Placemat sliding on the table
Ensure the surface is dry and free of debris, then press down firmly on the placemat to allow the cork base to grip the surface.
Spills leaving residue
Wipe immediately with a damp cloth to prevent liquid from seeping into the edges of the mat.
Surface marks or light scratches
Gently buff the area with a dry, microfiber cloth; avoid heavy scrubbing which may damage the printed design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the mats on your table with the cork side facing down. They are compatible with most standard wooden, glass, and laminate dining tables. Regarding care, consistency is key to longevity. Because they feature a wood-composite and print design, they should never be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher, as this may cause the layers to warp or delaminate. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap if necessary, and immediately dry the surface with a separate cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these will scratch the artwork or degrade the print finish.
