Earth Rugs Cabin Bear Placemat

Jute is a natural fiber that doesn't handle heavy saturation well. For minor spills, spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing or submerging the placemats in water, as this can cause the fibers to lose their shape.

The stenciling is durable, but like any natural fiber product, direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can cause colors to soften or fade. To keep the burgundy and black tones vibrant, avoid placing them in direct, intense sun for extended periods.

While jute is a sturdy, natural material, it is not heat-proof. It provides a good layer of protection against warm plates, but we recommend using a trivet for very hot cookware or heavy serving dishes to prevent potential scorching or damage to the fibers.

The placemats have a rustic, woven texture typical of natural jute. While the underside is generally safe for most dining tables, if you have a delicate or high-gloss finish, you might want to pair these with a thin felt or silicone pad underneath for extra protection.

These placemats are designed primarily for indoor use. Because they are made of 100% natural jute, they are susceptible to moisture and humidity, which can lead to mold or mildew if left outside.
