We highly recommend wiping the mat(s) clean with soft damp cloth for everyday cleaning.The best way to thoroughly clean the mat is simply using mild/ pH balanced soap. If soiled, simply use a small amount of detergent and wipe down the entire mat and leave it to dry naturally/ dry with a dry cloth. Always allow the mat to dry completely before rolling it up and storing it away to prevent any unwanted mould.
Avoid using harsh cleaning agents as prolonged use may damage/ discolour the mat.
Avoid alcohol and other harsh cleaning agents such as bleach, sprays. Take care to check the ingredient listings at the back of the cleaner as alkaline based cleaning products may cause discolouration. Prolonged use may weaken the material and cause it to easily tear.
Avoid using sharp or hot objects on the mat. Take care when doing art and craft – water based stains are removable however ball point pens/ markers are not.
Avoid direct sunlight as they can be sensitive to them. Take caution when hanging out with your fur babies and with highly pigmented items such oil based food/ liquid. We cannot be held responsible for damage done after the mat has been used.
Most baby wipes contain fragrance stabilisers which are of alcohol functional groups that act as preservative-like properties. They are certainly antimicrobial but unfortunately alcohol is not suitable to clean TPU materials. Short term use may not show any/much changes however prolonged use may cause discolouration/ weaken the material and cause easy damage.
It does take some time for the mat to flatten and settle in as they have all been tightly rolled in the box. Once taken out from the box packaging, unroll it in the reverse direction to let it relax and settle and to release the minor creasing.
To make the process quicker, you can also reverse roll the mat, strapping it up with the velcro straps and leave it overnight before flattening it out.
Due to the absence of toxic additives to TPU material, an ageing process comes naturally with the mats and you might find fading and discolouration over time with usage. The timeframe of the ageing depends on the factors and conditions the mat is used and placed within.
This process may be accelerated due to heat and humid conditions, prolonged direct exposure to sunlight and cleaning practices using harsh cleaning agents.
Please note that light coloured mats (for instance ivory white colour of the Marmor) is more prone to discolouration so please use extra care with this particular design. Please refer to our Product Care instructions for best practise and how to minimise discolouration!
- Ensure that all packaging materials are removed and placed away from little ones.
- The mats are rolled up tightly in individual packaging to reduce volumetric shipping weight. Once taken out of the box packaging, unroll the play mat in reverse direction to release minor creasing and for it to relax and settle. Depending on how long the play mat has been rolled in the box, It can take up to a few days.
- There may be stubborn edges/ stronger creases when they are rolled too tight – simply roll it in reverse direction and use the velcro straps to strap it up, leave it overnight, then unroll it and let it face downwards to let it settle naturally.
- Simply wipe clean with soft cleaning cloth and warm soapy water before first use.
