Product Information
Full details
The TRIXIE 24560 silicone placemat is an essential tool for cat and dog owners looking to protect their floors from water spills and food debris during mealtime. Its primary benefit is a high-grip surface and raised edge that contains messes, keeping your feeding area tidy with minimal effort; however, its transparent silicone material may show visible water spots or fine dust more readily than opaque mats.

FAQs
Is this mat dishwasher safe?
While the silicone material is heat-resistant, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended to preserve the finish.
Will this fit under my automatic feeder?
It is designed for standard bowls up to 22 cm. Measure the base of your automatic feeder to ensure it falls within the 510x270 mm area.
Is the material safe for pets?
Yes, it is made of non-toxic silicone, making it safe even if your pet happens to lick the mat directly.
Can this be used outdoors?
It can be used on a patio or porch, but keep in mind that debris like leaves or dirt may stick to the silicone surface.
Does it have a strong chemical smell?
No, TRIXIE silicone mats are generally odorless; if you detect any scent from packaging, a quick wash will remove it.
How do I remove stubborn dried food?
Soak the mat in warm, soapy water for 5-10 minutes, which will soften the debris for easy removal.
Troubleshooting
Mat slides on the floor
Clean the underside of the mat and the floor surface with a damp cloth to remove dust, then allow both to dry completely for maximum grip.
Water spots visible on the mat
Wipe the mat with a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar to dissolve mineral deposits, then dry with a microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: place the mat on a flat, level surface and position your feeding bowls directly in the center. The 510x270 mm footprint is specifically designed for bowls up to 22 cm in diameter. For care, it is recommended to rinse the mat under warm water with a mild detergent after daily use. Since the material is flexible, you can easily pick it up to shake off dry food crumbs into the trash before wiping it down. Avoid using abrasive sponges, as these can scratch the silicone surface over time.
