Troubleshooting

Mat has a slight odor after washing

This can occasionally happen with silicone. Air out the mat in a well-ventilated area for a day or wash it in the dishwasher on a hot cycle. Ensure it is fully dry before use.

Food is sticking to the mat

While stain-resistant, some very sticky foods might leave a residue if left for an extended period. Wash the mat with warm, soapy water immediately after use or place it in the dishwasher.

Mat is sliding on the table

Ensure both the table surface and the underside of the mat are clean and dry. For smoother surfaces, a slightly damp cloth under the mat can sometimes improve grip.

Mat has a faint white residue

This is likely mineral buildup from water. Try washing the mat with a mild vinegar solution or running it through a hot dishwasher cycle.
