FAQs

Are these placemats heat resistant?

Yes, the laminated top layer provides resistance to heat, making them suitable for placing warm dishes on briefly. However, it is recommended to use trivets for very hot items to ensure longevity.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?

No, these placemats are not dishwasher safe. They should be hand washed with cool or lukewarm water and mild detergent.

What material is the backing made of?

The backing is made of cork, which provides a non-slip surface and protects your table from scratches.

How many placemats come in a set?

This set includes four coordinated placemats.

Are these placemats waterproof?

The laminated top layer offers good water resistance for spills, but they are not fully waterproof. It's best to wipe up spills promptly.

Will the William Morris pattern fade over time?

The pattern is designed for durability, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Proper cleaning and care will help maintain the vibrancy of the design.

Can these be used for outdoor dining?

While they can withstand outdoor use for meals, it is advisable to store them indoors after use to protect them from harsh weather elements and prolonged sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

Placemat has a sticky residue after a spill.

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Pattern appears faded.

Ensure placemats are not left in direct sunlight for extended periods. Hand wash gently and air dry.

Cork backing is damp and smells.

Wipe the cork backing dry immediately after any spills. If it has absorbed liquid, air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged contact with moisture.

Light scratching on the laminated surface.

Minor scratches may be cosmetic. Avoid using sharp objects directly on the placemat surface. Clean gently to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These placemats are compatible with most standard dining tables, including wood, glass, and laminate surfaces. The cork backing is designed to be non-abrasive.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe Clean: For most spills and daily messes, wipe the surface immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly.
  2. Washing: If more thorough cleaning is needed, these placemats can be washed by hand with cool or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Do not machine wash.
