How to Care for a Play Mat Long-Term

Quick answer: To keep a mat looking good for years, wipe spills promptly, give it an occasional gentle clean, keep it out of harsh direct sun for long periods, and roll rather than fold it for storage. Cared for this way, a PopsyKosy mat stays cushioned and clean for the long haul.

Everyday and deeper care

Wipe spills as they happen and do an occasional gentle wipe-down; avoid harsh solvents that can dull the surface.

Protect and store well

Long stretches of harsh direct sun can fade any surface, and rolling rather than folding avoids permanent creases. See storage tips.
