The Braided Rug Place Placemat

These placemats are made from 100% natural jute, which is absorbent. We recommend spot cleaning only with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not machine wash or submerge them in water, as this can damage the fibers and the stenciled design.

Yes, the braided jute construction is designed to lay flat. Because it is a natural fiber, it may arrive slightly curled from shipping, but it will settle into a flat position on your table surface within a day or two.

While jute is a durable, natural material, it is not heat-proof. We recommend using a trivet or coaster under very hot dishes to protect both your table surface and the placemat itself from potential scorching.

The hand-stenciled moose and pinecone pattern is durable, but like any natural fiber textile, it can fade if exposed to direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods. To keep the colors vibrant, avoid placing them in direct sun when not in use.

Jute has a naturally textured, rustic feel. While it is sturdy, it is not abrasive; however, if you have a highly polished or antique wood table, you may want to test one placemat first or use a thin felt pad underneath if you are concerned about potential surface scratching.
