How to Clean and Store a Foldable Baby Play Mat
Share
Quick answer: For everyday spills on the PIGLOG Rainbow & Stars foldable mat, wipe the surface with a soft cloth. Let it dry before folding it, then store it in a cool, ventilated place. Follow the instructions supplied with your own product if they give more specific care directions.
An easy after-play routine
- Remove toys and check the surface for crumbs or spills.
- Wipe the surface gently with a soft cloth. Pay attention to the fold lines as well as the open panels.
- Allow the surface to dry before folding or storing it.
- Fold the mat and place it in a cool, ventilated storage spot.
Keep sharp objects away from the mat to avoid scratches. Do not assume that a foldable foam mat belongs in a washing machine; check its own care label before trying any cleaning method beyond wiping.
Where should it go between play sessions?
Choose a storage spot where the folded mat can stay dry and out of the way. Before the next use, unfold it and check the surface. The 50 × 50 in Giraffe Green mat and the 79 × 71 in Rainbow & Stars mat have different open footprints, so choose the size that fits both your play area and your storage plan.
What about sleep?
Use a baby play mat for supervised floor play, not for infant sleep. Move a sleeping baby to a sleep space intended for that purpose.
