Full details
The Benjamin Tate Design Placemat set is ideal for homeowners and hosts looking to blend modern aesthetics with functional table protection.

FAQs
Can these placemats be put in the dishwasher?
No, these placemats are not dishwasher safe. Submerging them in water or high-heat environments will damage the cork and the print.
Are they heat resistant?
Yes, the cork backing provides a degree of heat protection against standard warm plates and serveware.
How many placemats come in the set?
This set includes 6 individual placemats.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them flat in a dry area to prevent the cork from warping or the edges from curling.
Will the print fade over time?
The mats use high-end print technology designed to be durable, but avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight will help preserve the colors longer.
Troubleshooting
Placemat sliding on the table surface
Ensure the table surface is dry and free of debris. If sliding persists, ensure the cork backing is clean and free of dust or crumbs.
Sticky residue on the surface
Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild drop of dish soap to gently lift the residue, then immediately wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Curling at the edges
This typically occurs if the mat was exposed to excessive moisture. Lay the mat flat on a cool, dry surface and place a heavy flat object on top for several hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is immediate: simply place the mats on your table with the cork side facing down. They are compatible with most standard dining table materials, including polished wood and glass. To care for your placemats, use a damp, soft cloth to wipe the surface after each use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing sponges, as these can dull the printed finish. If a spill occurs, clean it promptly to prevent staining. Never soak the placemats in a sink, as water penetration can compromise the structural integrity of the cork wood or the adhesion of the printed top layer.
