Care Instructions
A little care goes a long way. Follow these simple steps to keep your Everline mat looking and feeling like new.
Everyday Cleaning
- Wipe down the surface with a damp, soft cloth after each play session to remove crumbs, drool, and dust.
- Use a mild soap (dish soap or baby-safe cleanser) for any visible smudges. A small drop on a damp cloth is all you need.
- Dry with a clean towel or let the mat air-dry before rolling or folding it back up.
Deep Cleaning
We recommend a deeper clean every one to two weeks, or any time the mat sees heavy use.
- Mix a small amount of gentle all-purpose cleaner (or equal parts water and white vinegar) in a spray bottle.
- Lightly mist the entire surface and let it sit for 1 – 2 minutes.
- Wipe with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth, working in one direction.
- Rinse the cloth, wring it out, and do a final wipe to remove any residue.
- Air-dry completely before placing the mat back on the floor.
Stain Removal
| Stain Type | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Food & juice | Blot immediately with a damp cloth. Follow with mild soap if needed. |
| Marker or crayon | Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cloth and gently rub the mark. Wipe clean with water afterward. |
| Diaper mishaps | Clean with warm water and mild soap right away. Follow with a vinegar-water spray to neutralize odor. |
| Sunscreen or lotion | Wipe with a soapy cloth, then rinse. These can leave a residue if left to sit. |
Storage Tips
- Roll, don't fold. Rolling prevents permanent creases. Use the original strap or a velcro band to keep it secure.
- Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight, garages, or damp basements — prolonged heat and moisture can affect the foam over time.
- Keep it in the bag. The original storage bag protects the surface from dust and scratches when the mat is not in use.
What to Avoid
- Bleach and harsh chemicals. These can break down the TPU surface and cause discoloration.
- Abrasive scrubbers or steel wool. Stick to soft cloths and sponges to protect the printed design.
- Machine washing or submerging. The mat is waterproof on the surface, but soaking can allow water into the foam core.
- Placing near heat sources. Keep the mat away from radiators, fireplaces, and heated floors above 90 degrees F (32 degrees C).
- Sharp objects. Furniture legs with metal tips or sharp toys can puncture the surface. Use felt pads under furniture that sits on the mat.
