FAQs

Are these placemats heat resistant?

Yes, they provide protection against standard hot dinner plates, but they should not be used as trivets for pots and pans directly from the oven or stove.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?

No. The MDF core will absorb water, expand, and lead to permanent damage.

What is the material composition?

These placemats are crafted from a durable MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) core with a protective printed matte lacquer finish.

How many come in a pack?

Each set includes 4 individual placemats.

Can I use these on a glass table?

Yes, they are suitable for glass tables and provide a protective layer that helps prevent scratches from ceramic dinnerware.

How do I best store them?

They should be stored flat in a dry area. Avoid keeping them in high-humidity environments like directly next to a boiling kettle.

Troubleshooting

Sticky residue or dried spills on the surface

Use a soft, slightly dampened cloth with a mild soap solution to gently lift the residue, then dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

Placemat has warped or bowed

This is typically caused by excessive moisture or heat exposure; unfortunately, warped MDF cannot be effectively repaired. Avoid getting the edges wet in future use.

Surface finish appears dull

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the matte lacquer finish lightly. Do not use furniture polish as it may make the surface too slippery for plates.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, long-lasting MDF core
  • Sophisticated aesthetic with unique in-house designs
  • Effective protection against heat and scratches
  • Easy-to-clean matte finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up these placemats is straightforward; simply place them on your dining table surface with the printed side facing up. They are compatible with a wide range of table materials, including wood, glass, and laminate.

To ensure their longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth after every use to remove crumbs or spills. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the matte lacquer.
  2. Moisture Protection: Never immerse the placemats in water or place them in a dishwasher, as the moisture will cause the MDF core to swell and warp.
  3. Storage: Store them flat to prevent bowing. If stacking them, consider placing a soft cloth between them to protect the print of the bottom mat.
