Everyday care for your printed desk mat
Simple habits to keep your desk mat clean, dry, and ready for the next workday.
Start with gentle everyday care
Move your keyboard and other equipment off the mat before cleaning. Lift loose crumbs and dust gently with a soft cloth. Keep food and uncovered drinks away from the print when possible.
Handle spills promptly
Blot spills with a clean cloth rather than rubbing them farther into the surface. Keep the mat away from your electronics while wet, and let it air dry completely before returning equipment or cards to it.
Avoid aggressive cleaning
For a spot that needs cleaning, use warm water, a little mild dish soap, and a soft cloth. Let the mat air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive brushes, and direct heat. Contact us if you are unsure how to handle a stain.
Keep it flat and inspect it
Use the mat on a clean, dry, flat surface. Avoid folding it into sharp creases. If it arrives with a printing problem, damage, or the wrong design, photograph the issue and contact us within 30 days; cleaning should not be used to fix a manufacturing defect.
