When your baby starts exploring the world, safety becomes your top priority. A play mat is one of the first spaces your child interacts with daily — and choosing (and using) it safely makes all the difference. Here’s how to make the most of your Eeveve EVA foam play mat while keeping your little one protected and comfortable.
1. Choose the Right Surface
Always place your play mat on a clean, even floor. Avoid textured or uneven surfaces that could cause tiles to shift. Eeveve mats are designed to lay flat and stay put — but it’s best to ensure a smooth foundation underneath.
2. Keep It Clean
Babies spend hours on the floor, so hygiene matters. Eeveve mats are water-resistant and easy to wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Skip harsh chemicals — warm water does the job perfectly.
3. Avoid Sharp Toys
EVA foam is durable but not indestructible. Avoid using sharp-edged toys or furniture with metal legs directly on the mat. Use felt pads under chairs or play tables to protect the surface.
4. Check for Wear
Inspect your play mat occasionally. If tiles show deep dents or damage from heavy furniture, rotate them or replace single tiles. The modular system makes it simple to refresh your setup.
5. Safety by Design
All Eeveve mats comply with ASTM F963 and EN71 toy safety standards and meet CPSIA requirements for chemical and material safety — giving you total peace of mind.
