Designed with beauty, functionality, and longevity in mind, Chilewich table mats wipe clean and retain their like-new appearance through many years of use, indoors or out. The collection is free of phthalates and easy to clean with soap and water. “The textures, patterns, and colors of our mats become the first layer upon which everything else sits,” says founder Sandy Chilewich. “They set the tone for a table.”
PLACEMAT & RUNNER CARE
Because Chilewich placemats & runners are created using various techniques, finishes & enhancing details, different styles require different types of care. Please follow these guidelines to keep your Chilewich placemats/runners clean & maintain their original appearance.
All Chilewich placemats should be stored flat. Do not fold placemats or allow them to crease.
Hot objects may damage your placemat/runner. Please exercise caution & use a trivet to protect your placemat/runner from excessive heat.
- To clean, wipe with soap, water & a soft sponge or cloth. Standard antibacterial cleansers can also be used. Rinse with clean water & air dry.
- Scrub stubborn stains with a soft bristle brush & a bleach-based cleanser. This will remove the stain without altering the fabric. Rinse with clean water & air dry.
- Machine washing or dishwasher use is not recommended.
- More permanent stains may result when certain foods or liquids (e.g., tomato, hot pepper sauce, turmeric) are left on the placemat or runner for long periods before cleaning. This is more likely to occur with lighter-color textiles. Make sure to remove such spills quickly.
