Q&A
Product Care
Q: How to clean the Ofie Mat?
A: All household detergents such as hand soap, all purpose cleaner, and disinfecting wipes, and diluted vinegar are all safe on the Ofie Mat. We recommend baby wipes since it is safe for babies.
Q: How to clean up spills on the Ofie Mat?
A: Any spills can be easily removed with baby wipes. DO NOT use any bleach as it will damage your Ofie Mat.
Q: How to remove creases from a new Ofie Mat?
A: The creases should disappear on their own after 1 week. Cold temperatures during the packaging process at our warehouses will sometimes make the foam mat shrink. Leave your playmat at room temperature and in a few days it should go back to normal.
If not, please reach out to us for a replacement Ofie Mat.
Q: How do I pack up my Ofie Mat when it’s not in use?
A: We recommend you roll up your Ofie Mat. DO NOT fold your Ofie Mat as this will cause wrinkles/creasing.
Wear and Tear
Q: I'm noticing a bit of wear and tear. Is this normal?
A: Yes. As you and your little ones use the Ofie Mat on a daily basis, there may be some wear and tear over time. This is normal with any foam play mat. You can still use the Ofie Mat, knowing that our high safety standards are still maintained.
Ofie Mat Creases and Cold Temperatures
Q: Does the cold weather affect my Ofie Mat?
A: *Yes, especially with new Ofie Mats. That is why we recommend you leaving your new foam mat at room temperature overnight (and up to a day) before unrolling your Ofie Mat. This will help the foam mat warm up and regain its' flexibility.
*If you live in a warmer climate, you most likely don't have to worry about this*
Safety
Q: How do I prevent my Ofie Mat from slipping on wooden floors?
A: We recommend using anti-slip rug pads - they can efficiently prevent our playmat from slipping on hardwood floors.
Q: Should I use regular tape to make the playmat stay put?
A: Tape should not be used to secure the play mat as it is sticky and difficult remove. Using a non-slip rug pad is THE best solution for preventing slipping. Tape is not recommended and should be avoided.
COVID-19 Cleaning Tips
Q: What should I use to clean my Ofie Mat right now?
A: We highly recommend using any disinfecting spray with at least 70% alcohol. This will kill any lingering germs, and is also safe for your Ofie Mat. Disinfectant wipes are another good choice for daily use.
