What is a placemat?

A placemat is a decorative mat that sits under a plate at the dining table. Placemats not only add style to a table setting, but they also serve a functional purpose by protecting the table surface from scratches, stains, and heat!

How can you set a table with placemats?

To set a table with placemats, arrange them evenly around the table, then it’s all about the layering! Start with a charger or large plates, then smaller plates or bowls. Next, add your napkins and utensils, and finally, add glassware on top according to your desired place setting. Don’t forget to add some fresh flowers to the table!

How should you clean placemats?

As for cleaning placemats, check the label to determine if they are machine washable. If not, wipe them down after each use with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
