Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are play mats easy to clean?

Most play mats, whether you have baby mats for outdoor use or plush play mats for indoor setups,  are designed with ease of cleaning in mind. 

Generally, cleaning such material involves a series of straightforward steps: inspecting the mat for any damage or stains, vacuuming or sweeping to remove dust and debris, washing with warm water and mild detergent, drying thoroughly, and sanitising to eliminate germs. This routine ensures the play mat remains clean and safe for use. 

For regular upkeep, it is advised to clean mats, especially if they are used frequently, with daily sweeping and monthly vacuuming as part of the maintenance schedule.

At Miss Amara, our soft play mats exemplify ease of cleaning. The materials we use make it easy to clean up little accidents, making it child- and pet-friendly. 

How do you prevent play mats from absorbing spills or stains?

To minimise the absorption of spills or stains on play mats, focus on preventive measures beyond regular cleaning routines:

• Encourage spill-proof containers. Promote the use of spill-proof cups and containers during playtime to minimise liquid spills.
• Implement a ‘no shoes’ policy. Restrict shoe wear on the play mat to prevent dirt and debris from causing stains.
• Educate and involve children. Teach children the importance of cleanliness and involve them in maintaining the play area.

When it comes to materials, each type of play mat demands specific care. For instance, mats made from foam, rubber, fabric, or puzzle pieces each have unique cleaning requirements that should be adhered to, ensuring the longevity and durability of the mat.

Miss Amara’s padded play mats are specifically designed with these considerations in mind. The stain-resistant nature of the polyester used in our mats means that spills tend to bead up on the surface rather than seeping into the material. Blot immediately if any accidents happen.  

How do you store large play mats when not in use?

To store large play mats when not in use, rolling them tightly is a common method, as it conserves space and protects the mat’s surface from creases or damage. Moreover, ensuring the mat is clean and dry before storage is crucial to preventing mould or mildew. For mats that come with their own storage bags or straps, using these accessories helps maintain their shape and condition.
