Playmat Care & Cleaning Guide
Keep your neoprene playmat clean, flat, and ready for game night with a few simple care habits.
Quick cleaning
For dust, fingerprints, drink marks, or light dirt, wipe the surface gently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or aggressive cleaners, as they can damage the printed fabric surface.
Deeper cleaning
For a more thorough clean, use lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap. Clean the mat gently by hand, paying extra attention to stained areas without scrubbing hard. Rinse away any soap residue with clean water.
How to dry your playmat
Let the mat air-dry completely before rolling or storing it. Keep it away from radiators, tumble dryers, irons, and other high-heat sources. We recommend hand cleaning rather than machine washing unless the care instructions for a specific product explicitly say otherwise.
Storage
For standard-size mats, rolling is the best way to avoid creases. Store the mat dry and clean, ideally in its protective tube or bag. Do not leave heavy objects on top of a folded or rolled mat for long periods.
What to avoid
- Bleach, solvents, and harsh chemical cleaners.
- Abrasive brushes or scouring pads.
- High heat from irons, dryers, or heaters.
- Rolling or storing the mat while it is still damp.
