How is this mat cleaned? Is it stain resistant? Does it have to be laundered or just wiped down?

Given the fact that it is solid foamy vinyl stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to throw it into a large washer. You probably wouldn't want to wash it on hot, of course. Or you could take it outside and hose it off. I scrubbed my floor before putting the mats down. So when it comes time to scrub the floor again, I'll just scrub the mats along with it. But I put regular kitchen rugs over them, so they shouldn't get too dirty anyway. Just wash the rugs.This information is worth about what you pay for it. You might want to google the manufacturer.

I find the mat to be easy to care for. Most days I just sweep it off when I am sweeping the kitchen floor. If something would happen to get spilled on it, I just wipe it off with a damp rag. I would never consider laundering it. It is so easy to care for it with a damp rag.

I have had these for about 6 months, we just mop them when we mop the floor. No stains on ours so far.

I just put it in the washing machine and it washed fine for me. I washed it delicate and hung it up to dry I am always cautious when putting stuff like this in the washing machine. It is detachable for washing and once she grew out of the playmat we just used the mat as a fun blanket. I still have the mat and it held up great for us. Plan to use it for baby #2.

I wipe it down with simple green to remove the grease that spills on the mat. Hope this is helpful.

its not a machine, its just a mat, and its not easily washable, just spray it with febreze if it gets nasty

Great question. The best way to clear the mats is to use a light solvent like windex, baby wipes, swiffer solution or soap with warm water & a towel.

Have not washed mine yet but I assume it is. I would probably take it to a laundry mat because it is kinda big. Still works great and I am verry happy with it. I normally just shake it off when Im done with it and that works for me.

The mats I received were made of a foam rubber material and they are quite durable. When new they did have a plastic/rubber oder that has since gone away. They are washable. Just wipe with a soapy clothe, rinse and let dry.

Hi Sandra! Mine was fine. Smelled a little strong of new plastic but the odor dissipated after the first washing with some dishes. I love these mats; they fit great in the sinks and look good with the stainless steel sink. I don't leave mine in the sink though; I only use them when I'm washing dishes so I don't know about staining.

I just use a damp cloth, cleans easily as long as only the included markers are used. Haven't had any issues with wiping the surface clean.

I just followed the directions. I took a damp paper towel and a small amount of dish soap and cleaned it. I took more damp towels and wiped it to rinse. Then I took a small amount of shortening and lightly covered it. It worked fine for me by doing that. There are instructions online too. If you Google "care of the mat" it will come up. I've had no issues with mine.

I wash it in the laundry room sink. Discard any poop with poop bag. I rinse mat with watm water to remove excess urine. Then plug the sink and fill 2" with hot water and add laundry detergent. Any cheappy brand. Let soak while I do a chore. Rinse off thoroughly. Hold on side to let excess water drip(rolled up). Then lay grass side up on top of rag on top of washing machine to air dry. I have a few grass pieces to alternate. The dogs dont do their business on a wet pad. I put wee wee pads under grass to hasten clean up time. The grass keeps it consistent with outdoor pottying.

I have have used the mat just once since purchase. It works well no stains on my bluestone surface. However, I have it placed on the landing above the stairs where keeping it stable is not an issue. The mat is a bit stiff and doesn't seem to be easily placed going down the stairs. I hope this is helpful. PCH

Yes I washed the mat with normal baby laundry and it was just fine. I hung it to dry and it dried pretty quickly.

The mat is water repellent, so it does not absorb into the mat. Juice should not leave a stain either. You should not leave anythiing hot on it though, as that will leave a permanent impression on the surface. I set a tea cup on it (when my child was not around, of course), and it left an indent. :(

No you can't wash it. You can wash the outside cover which is cotton but has some kind of conductive thread in it. The actual conductive side of the mat is plasticky. You could wipe it clean if you wanted or clean it with soap. The non-conductive side if soft rubber foam which eventually peels off completely.

That's an interesting question. I don't believe I was given any special cleaning instructions with the arrival of the mat. I went to their site just now and read this, "The moisture-resistant skin is easy to clean after use." It looks as though you can go to the same site http://hemingweigh.com/?p=50 and leave a comment (perhaps to be answered), or dial the phone number and inquire. Hope this helps.

The outside of the can is finger print resistant which is a plus. I clean it with a damp cloth or paper towel and buff it with the same but dry. So far I haven't found it necessary to use a cleaning agent. If however, you run into a tough stain I am sure an all purpose cleaner or stainless steel wipes/cleaner would work well. You will fine this trash can to be very low maintenance.
