A woven natural-fibre mat can deform when treated like a fabric or plastic placemat. IKEA Korea lists water hyacinth and clear acrylic lacquer, recommends wiping with a damp cloth and prohibits washing, bleaching, tumble drying, ironing and dry cleaning. These rules are product-specific, not universal for all placemats.

1. Confirm the model and material. Verify SOARÉ article number 001.764.62 and its 37 cm diameter. This handwoven natural-fibre product needs different care from fabric or plastic mats.
2. Clear dishes and food, then remove loose crumbs. Lay the mat flat and gently brush with a soft dry cloth; never pull on woven strands.
3. Lightly moisten a clean cloth and wring it out thoroughly. Do not immerse or soak the placemat, and avoid bleach and strong cleaners.
4. Wipe gently along the weave. Repeat light wipes on food marks without abrasive sponges or prying apart the woven strands.
5. Let the mat dry completely in a shaded, ventilated place. Do not stack it damp, tumble-dry, iron or expose it to high heat.
6. Store flat once fully dry. If there is persistent odour, suspected mould or loose fibres, keep it away from food and consider discontinuing use depending on the condition.
