Learn how to clean and maintain your PUEBCO scrap yarn reversible mat without damaging its recycled fabric. Spot clean, air dry, and avoid washing.
Quick answer
Spot clean your scrap yarn reversible mat with a dry towel and let it air dry completely. Never wash or iron it, and avoid using it on wet surfaces to prevent color transfer.
Why washing is not an option
The mat is made from recycled cotton, wool, and polyester fabric. These fibers are not treated for machine washing, and the construction can unravel or distort. The manufacturer explicitly advises against washing and ironing.
Because the fabric is assembled from assorted scrap yarns, each mat has unique color and texture variations. Washing can cause uneven shrinkage or fade the already variable colors.
Color transfer risk
When the mat is damp or used on a wet floor, the dyes in the recycled fabric may transfer to clothing, flooring, or other surfaces. This is a natural characteristic of upcycled materials, not a defect.
Always place the mat on a dry, clean surface. If you notice a stain on the mat itself, blot it gently with a dry cloth—do not rub.
Diagnosis and care steps
- Symptom: The mat looks dusty or has a small dry stain.
- Likely cause: Normal use on floors or near entryways. The recycled fabric attracts dust but does not hold liquid stains well.
- Corrective action: Take the mat outside and shake it gently to remove loose dust. For a stubborn spot, dab the area with a dry, clean towel. If the spot is sticky, use a barely damp cloth and immediately blot with a dry towel. Let the mat air dry completely before placing it back. Never rub, scrub, or apply detergent—this will damage the surface and spread the stain.
- Stop or choose another option: If the mat is heavily soiled, has a large wet stain, or smells musty, do not attempt to wash it. The recycled fabric is not designed for immersion cleaning. Consider replacing the mat or using it in a low-traffic area where stains are less likely. For deep cleaning, there is no safe home method. The mat is best maintained with regular shaking and spot care only.
