Product Information
Full details
The Flamingo & Palm Trees Placemats are designed for homeowners looking to add a vibrant, tropical aesthetic to their dining space without sacrificing utility. Featuring contemporary designer artwork and a durable cork wood base, this set of six provides excellent heat and surface protection for everyday meals or formal dinner parties. While these mats offer superior durability and easy maintenance, users should note that their specific dimensions of 20cm x 28cm are better suited for standard plates rather than oversized charger plates or large family-style serving platters.

FAQs
Can I put these in the dishwasher?
No. The cork backing will absorb water and deteriorate if placed in a dishwasher. Only hand-wipe the top surface.
Are they heat resistant?
Yes, they provide a protective barrier for standard warm dinnerware, but they are not intended for use as trivets for hot cookware straight from the oven or stovetop.
What is the exact size of each placemat?
Each placemat measures 20cm x 28cm, which is approximately 11 x 8 inches.
Do these come with a warranty?
Please check your original purchase documentation or receipt for specific warranty details provided by the retailer.
Can I use these outdoors?
They can be used outdoors for dining; however, they should not be left outside permanently or exposed to rain/humidity as the cork may swell.
How many placemats are in a set?
Each order includes a set of six Flamingo & Palm Trees placemats.
Troubleshooting
Surface appears cloudy after cleaning
Ensure you are using a clean, damp cloth. Dry the surface immediately with a soft, lint-free towel to prevent water spots.
Placemat slides on glass tables
Ensure the cork backing is free of dust or debris. A clean cork surface typically provides superior grip on smooth glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Flamingo & Palm Trees placemats is simple; place them on your table with the cork side down and the artwork side facing up. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After every meal, wipe the top surface gently with a damp cloth to remove crumbs or spills.
- Moisture Prevention: Avoid submerging the mats in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the integrity of the cork backing.
- Storage: Stack the mats flat to prevent warping or bending of the board material.
- Temperature: While cork is heat-resistant, avoid placing heavy pots or cast-iron pans directly from the stove onto the placemats.
