FAQs
Are these placemats heat resistant?
Yes, they are designed to protect surfaces from warm plates, but they are not intended for use with extremely hot cookware or oven-to-table dishes.
Can I use these on a glass table?
Absolutely. The cork backing provides a soft, non-slip layer that is perfect for protecting glass surfaces from scratches.
How many items are in the set?
The set includes a coordinated mix of round placemats and matching coasters to cover your basic table settings.
Is the Nutcracker print durable?
The print is high quality, but should be wiped gently to ensure the design remains crisp and vibrant through multiple holiday seasons.
Can these be used outdoors?
They are designed for indoor dining. Outdoor use is not recommended as exposure to rain or high humidity can degrade the materials.
Troubleshooting
Surface feels sticky after cleaning
Ensure you are using only a slightly damp, clean cloth and buff the surface dry immediately after wiping.
Placemat has slight water damage at the edge
Avoid further exposure to moisture. Lay the placemat flat under a light weight for 24 hours to help it dry and potentially regain its shape, though prevention is the only reliable cure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your set in excellent condition, simply arrange the mats and coasters according to your table seating plan. For care, use a damp cloth to wipe the top surface after every meal; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which could damage the signature print. Never place these items in the dishwasher or submerge them in a sink, as the moisture will cause the cork and base materials to swell and lose their structural integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use during the off-season to keep the design vibrant.
