Why Choose Rattan Placemats for Your Dining Table
One of the main reasons for choosing rattan placemats is their inherent resilience because rattan is a vine-like plant that is not only very lightweight but it is also strong and sturdy. This makes rattan a popular material for making all types of home furnishings including many tableware products. The 100% natural, eco-friendly, and long-lasting nature of rattan makes it an ideal material for the production of tablemats.
Additionally, each rattan placemat is intricately hand woven by the skilled artisans of Indonesia which brings an extra level of elegance to your dining room. This craftsmanship, especially when sourced from regions of the country where artisans have honed their skills for generations leads to a much superior quality of finished product.

How to Care for Your Rattan Placemats
Not only are these hand made placemats a visually attractive choice, but they also efficiently protect your tabletops from scratches, heat, and spills at mealtimes. The way the natural rattan is woven together creates a breathable finished product which absorbs the heat from hot dishes and plates – ultimately protecting your dining table from careless diners.
To keep your rattan tablemats looking great for as long as possible, it's essential to care for them properly. Even though being naturally resistant to moisture is one of the advantages of rattan it’s still a good idea to give them a quick wipe after use to remove any food or spilt drinks. Just wiping with a simple cloth or soft sponge is enough to clean them, as they are not a high maintenance type of placemat. However, you should avoid soaking them in water, as prolonged exposure would weaken the strength of the rattan fibres.
Apart from submerging in water they should also be kept away from direct sunlight for long periods of time, this is to prevent the rich coffee colour of the rattan from fading and to also prevent the rattan from drying out. Following these simple tips ensures that the dark tones and smooth texture remains intact for years.
