Product Information
Full details
The Pimpernel Lunchtime Placemat set is designed for homeowners and hosts who want to protect their dining surfaces without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. These placemats offer a perfect blend of vintage-inspired style and heavy-duty thermal protection, making them ideal for everyday meals or formal dinner parties. While they provide excellent heat resistance, users should note that they are intended for cleaning with a damp cloth rather than immersion in water or dishwasher use.

FAQs
Can I put a pot directly from the oven onto these placemats?
These mats are heat-resistant up to 110ºC. While they are perfect for dinner plates, we recommend using a trivet for extremely hot cookware fresh from the oven.
How many placemats are included in the set?
This set includes four individual placemats.
Are these placemats waterproof?
They are moisture-resistant and easy to wipe clean, but they are not fully waterproof and should never be submerged in water.
Will these scratch my glass dining table?
No, the soft cork backing is specifically designed to provide a protective layer that prevents hardboard from coming into direct contact with your glass surface.
Can I use these outdoors?
They are designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to extreme humidity or outdoor elements may damage the materials.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn stains on the surface
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and gently wipe the spot clean, then dry immediately with a clean towel.
Placemat sliding on the table
Ensure both the underside of the cork backing and the table surface are clean and dry, as dust or debris can reduce the natural friction of the cork.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the mats on your dining table with the cork side facing down. These mats are compatible with most standard dining table materials, including wood, veneer, and glass. For care, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the lacquer finish. Instead, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away spills immediately. Never place the placemats in a dishwasher or submerge them in a sink, as water penetration can cause the hardboard core to swell and ruin the product.
