Using these place mats is super easy. Just lay them on your table before a meal to add a touch of nature to your dining experience. They're great for both casual family dinners and more formal gatherings. When it comes to maintenance, since they're made of 100% natural cotton, you can machine - wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent to keep the colors and patterns looking fresh. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage. And remember, this is a special order item, so there are no cancellations or returns. But if you receive a damaged or defective product, we'll send you a replacement right away.
