FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Mushie Silicone Placemat?
The placemat measures 48 cm in length and 23 cm in width.
Is this placemat safe for my baby?
Yes, it is made from 100% food-grade silicone, which is BPA-free and safe for contact with food.
How do I clean the placemat?
You can easily clean it with soap and water, or place it in the dishwasher (top rack recommended).
Will this placemat protect my table from heat?
While the silicone is heat-resistant to a degree, it is primarily designed for food spills and messes, not as a trivet for hot dishes.
Can I get this placemat in other colors?
Yes, Mushie offers this silicone placemat in a variety of colors, including Pink, Multicolor, White, Red, and Purple, in addition to Beige.
Is the placemat non-slip?
The silicone material offers some grip, but it is not guaranteed to be completely non-slip on all surfaces, especially if wet or very smooth.
Can I fold this placemat for storage or travel?
While the silicone is flexible, it is not designed to be folded. It is best stored flat to maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
Placemat slides on the surface.
Ensure the surface beneath the placemat is completely dry and free of grease. For smoother surfaces, a slightly damp cloth underneath can sometimes improve grip.
Stains are difficult to remove.
Try making a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse. Always clean promptly after use.
Placemat has a slight odor.
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and ensure it is completely air-dried. Leaving it in direct sunlight for a short period can also help dissipate odors.
Placemat appears warped after washing.
Ensure the placemat is placed flat in the dishwasher or when air-drying. Silicone is flexible and may temporarily hold a shape if folded or creased during cleaning.
