We don't want to disappoint you, and just like all other foam play mats in the market, we would like to inform you of the following:
• The mat is made from XPE foam which allows for cushioning however this does mean the mat can puncture from sharp objects, heavy pressure and pet claws.
• Animal claws can puncture the surface of the play mat
• Sharp objects and furniture will cause damage and indentations
• Rough play with pressure on the mat could cause it to tear
• Play mat could change in colour over time due to sunlight exposure (indirect sunlight could cause this.)
• Avoid leaving your play mat in sunlight for extended periods or on hot surfaces, including heaters where the mats are in direct contact with heat.
• Placing furniture on the mat may leave permanent indentations.
• Not designed for animals, be sure to keep them off.
• Keep away from sharp objects such as scissors, high heels, chair legs or like items that could puncture the mats surface
• Not recommended for use with ink pens.
Cleaning of the play mat:
• Gently wipe the mat with a diluted non-abrasive soap and water mixture. To disinfect your mat from time to time, use a white spirit vinegar and water mixture to disinfect your mat. Please do not use any harsh chemicals or alcohol-based products that could damage the mat. Dry completely before walking on the mat.
• Do not soak, submerge or hose down. Do not leave in the rain!
• If using your play mat for 'messy' play such as water based paints and play dough immediately clean mat after use with mild detergent to prevent stains.
• If a puncture or tear occurs the play mat is no longer suitable for messy or water play. Take care when cleaning around the tear. Do not allow water to soak in.
