FAQ
How often should I deep-clean my playmat?
Try a full clean once a month, and give it a quick wipe-down daily.
Can I use bleach on my playmat?
No—harsh chemicals can harm the foam and leave dangerous residue.
What if my mat still has an odor after cleaning?
Sprinkle baking soda over the dry mat, let it sit overnight, then vacuum it up to neutralize smells.
