The Complete Care Guide: Cleaning, Storage & Making Your Mat Last

Your play mat handles a lot — from snack time spills to endless adventures. Here’s how to keep your Eeveve mat looking new while staying safe for daily play.

1. Daily Cleaning Made Simple

Wipe your mat with a bit of warm water and dry with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap or baby-safe detergent — no harsh chemicals needed. Our Care Guide includes safe cleaning product recommendations.

Why gentle cleaning matters

The AAP recommends mild, fragrance-free cleaners to prevent skin irritation and chemical exposure.

2. Avoid Overexposure

Keep your play mat out of direct sunlight for long hours to preserve the color and texture. Store indoors in a dry place to maintain the perfect balance of softness and durability.

3. Long-Term Storage Tips

  • Disassemble tiles before storing.
  • Lay flat or stack gently — never fold.
  • Clean before storage to prevent buildup of dust or residue.

4. Make It a Routine

Regular maintenance extends product life and keeps your child’s play environment hygienic. Read more in our Product Safety Guide.
