Product Information

Full details

The Hevea Natural Rubber Placemat in Grey is designed for parents seeking a safe, durable, and eco-friendly mealtime solution for babies and children. Its key benefit is providing a stable, mess-contained surface made from 100% natural, upcycled rubber, free from harmful chemicals. A potential consideration is that while it fits most high chairs, its suction may vary on different surfaces. This placemat features a raised rim, strong suction cups, and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

What are the dimensions of the placemat?

The placemat is sized to fit most high chairs and table settings, with a raised rim to contain spills. Specific dimensions are not provided in the product details but it is designed for babies, toddlers, and kids.

Is this product environmentally friendly?

Can I use this placemat for travel?

What should I do if the suction cups aren't working well?

Ensure the surface and the suction cups are clean and dry. Press down firmly around the edges to create a seal. If the cups are dirty, wash them with soap and water and let them dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Placemat not staying suctioned

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press down firmly on the placemat to create a seal. If the suction cups are dirty, wash them with soap and water and let them dry completely.

Food or liquid stains remain

For persistent stains, try a paste of baking soda and water, gently rub the stained area, then rinse thoroughly. Dishwasher cleaning is recommended for regular maintenance.

Slight rubber odor

The natural rubber may have a slight scent upon first use. This is normal and will dissipate over time with regular washing and air exposure.

Placemat feels sticky

This can occur if residue from certain foods, like sugary liquids, is not fully rinsed off. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
