Troubleshooting
Mat feels sticky or residues remain after washing.
Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off thoroughly. If the stickiness persists, it might be due to prolonged exposure to oily substances; try washing with a mild degreasing dish soap or placing it in the dishwasher.
Mat has a slight odor after use.
Silicone is generally odor-resistant. If an odor is detected, wash with warm, soapy water or run it through a dishwasher cycle. Air drying completely in a well-ventilated area can also help dissipate any residual smells.
Mat shows slight discoloration.
While stain-resistant, intense staining from certain foods or liquids might occur over time. Gentle scrubbing with a non-abrasive cleaner or baking soda paste can help lift light stains. Ensure the mat is not left in prolonged contact with highly staining substances.
