FAQs

Can I put a hot casserole dish directly on these mats?

While they are heat-resistant, it is recommended to use a trivet for extremely hot dishes taken directly from the oven to ensure the lacquer finish remains pristine.

How many mats come in a set?

This set includes four large placemats.

Are these placemats made of wood?

They feature a hardboard core with a protective lacquer top and a cork backing, which provides a sturdy and protective base.

Can these be used outdoors?

These are designed for indoor dining. Prolonged exposure to extreme humidity or direct outdoor weather conditions may degrade the materials.

How do I remove a stubborn stain?

Use a gentle, non-abrasive household cleaner suitable for lacquered surfaces. Do not use steel wool or harsh chemical scouring agents.

Troubleshooting

Sticky residue on the surface

Use a soft, slightly dampened cloth with a tiny amount of mild dish soap and wipe gently, then immediately dry with a separate lint-free cloth.

Edge starting to lift

This is often caused by moisture exposure; ensure the mats are wiped dry immediately after use and never leave them in standing water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Pimpernel placemats is straightforward: simply lay them flat on your table surface with the cork side facing down. To ensure their longevity, adhere to these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the top surface with a soft, damp cloth immediately after spills occur.
  2. Avoid Immersion: Never submerge the mats in water or place them in a dishwasher, as liquid can penetrate the edges and cause the board to swell.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place stacked flat to prevent warping over time.
  4. Heat Warning: While the mats are heat-resistant, do not place pans taken directly from a high-heat stovetop or oven burner onto the surface.
