Troubleshooting
Placemat has a slight odor after washing.
Ensure the placemat is fully air-dried. For persistent odors, try washing with a mild dish soap and warm water, then soak in a solution of equal parts vinegar and water for 15-30 minutes before rinsing and air drying.
Placemat slides on the table surface.
Ensure the table surface is dry. If sliding persists, consider using a non-slip mat underneath the placemat or check if the placemat's surface is damp, which can reduce friction.
Food is sticking to the placemat.
Clean the placemat thoroughly with soap and water after each use. Ensure no food residue is left to dry, as this can cause sticking over time.
Placemat appears discolored.
This can sometimes occur with strongly pigmented foods. Try the baking soda paste method for stain removal mentioned in the care instructions.
