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
