Are rattan placemats heat-resistant? 

Rattan placemats are generally not considered heat resistant. While rattan is a sturdy and durable material, it can be susceptible to damage when exposed to high temperatures. However, if you are looking for something to protect your table surface from a warm plate a rattan placemat will do that for you. It may just mean that over time your placemat will develop some damage like scorch marks and discolouration over time.  

How to clean rattan placemats 

Remove any debris

Start by gently shaking or brushing the placemats to remove any loose dirt or crumbs. You can use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment for this step.

Spot Cleaning

For stubborn stains or spills, spot clean the affected areas using a mild detergent or soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the rattan fibres. Test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the placemat first to ensure it does not cause discolouration or damage.

Rinse with Water

After spot cleaning, rinse the placemats with clean water to remove any soap residue. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the entire surface of the placemats, ensuring all cleaning solutions are thoroughly removed.

Dry Thoroughly

Once clean, allow the rattan placemats to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the rattan fibres to become brittle or warp.

Regular Maintenance

To keep your rattan placemats looking their best, it's important to perform regular maintenance. Dust the placemats regularly with a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or dust. Spot clean any spills or stains as soon as they occur to prevent them from setting in.

How to style a table with rattan placemats

Choose your tablecloth

Begin by selecting a tablecloth. You might choose to go for a neutral colour palette for your table linens, such as a white linen tablecloth allowing the rattan placemats and coasters to take centre stage. If you prefer a more layered look you might like to start with a patterned tablecloth like our block print tablecloths. Layering: Layer the rattan placemats on top of the tablecloth or place directly on the tabletop for a relaxed and inviting look. Add woven rattan coasters to each place setting to complement the placemats and protect the table surface from moisture and heat.

Natural Elements

Incorporate natural elements such as fresh flowers, greenery, or wooden accents to enhance the organic feel of the table setting. Arrange a simple centrepiece of seasonal blooms or everlasting flowers in a ceramic or glass vase for a touch of colour and freshness. Choose colours that will compliment the rattan placemats and tablecloth you have chosen for a harmonious feel.

Add Napkins

Not only are napkins a practical item to have as part of your table setting they also help to create depth and dimension. Place the dinner plate on top of the rattan placemat, followed by your linen napkin. You could then add a personal touch with folded menu cards or place cards placed on top of each napkin or perhaps a small seasonal decoration.

Finishing Touches

Complete the table setting with subtle finishing touches such as votive candles. These small details add warmth and ambience to the table and create a welcoming atmosphere for guests.
