Why do some areas on my playmat appear lighter or darker? +
This is a unique characteristic of velour and velvet-like surfaces, also known as the "velour writing effect". The soft pile tilts in different directions, causing light and shadows to vary. Children love to make car tracks or create patterns with their fingers. After smoothing, everything is flat again. The effect does not impact the softness, quality, or durability.
Can I wash my velour playmat? +
Absolutely! Our playmats can be safely washed on a delicate cycle at 30°C, with low spin, little detergent, and no fabric softener. Wash the mat separately and let it dry flat. Not suitable for tumble drying, dry cleaning, bleaching, or ironing.
How do I care for my Mats & Joy playmat? +
For normal maintenance, regular vacuuming on a low suction setting is sufficient. Small stains are best removed as soon as possible with a slightly damp cloth or mild carpet cleaner. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents. Wash only when necessary – the less you wash, the better for its lifespan.
Are the carpets safe for children? +
Yes. Our playmats are CE and EN71 compliant and tested for child safety. The PVC studs are phthalate-free and fully comply with applicable European safety standards.
Do the PVC studs contain plasticizers? +
As with any PVC product, plasticizers are used to make the material flexible. Important:
  • The PVC studs are phthalate-free
  • Fully compliant with European safety standards
  • CE and EN71 compliant, tested for child safety
How durable are your carpets? +
