FAQs

Delivery

Why is the mat thin upon arrival?

For an easy, germ-free and eco-friendly shipping method, Tatami Kids uses vacuum compression for better transportation of mats. After three to five days, the creases and shrinking due to compression will naturally recover. 


To accelerate this expansion or if the mat has not expanded out fully after 5 days, please do the following:

  • Steam the whole mat with a steaming iron or steamer for clothes (recommended)
  • Iron any deep creases - like you would when ironing clothes.


What happened to your Packaging Inserts?

In our bid to reduce waste and our overall carbon footprint, we have stopped printing and sending any packaging inserts. We will still send this information to you digitally via email once your mat has been delivered to you!

Is your packaging recyclable?

Yes, we've made a point to make all our packaging 100% recyclable.

Product Cleaning & Maintenance

How do I clean the mat?

Spot cleaning

Best method is spot cleaning for isolated dirt and stains or hand washing the whole mat.

Hand Washing (recommended)

When hand washing, soak or rinse the mat with small amounts of detergent. Squeeze excess water out after and air dry.

Machine Washing

Machine washable, but do not use a washer with an Agitator. It is not safe for the mat to dry it using a dryer - air drying is recommended.

Vacuuming

Vacuum safe with a normal or carpet head. Pet fur and hair cleaning with a vacuum is recommended.

How do I properly store the mat?

  • The ideal method is to roll up the mat. When ready to reuse, roll in the opposite direction and leave for a few hours to a day before use. The mat can be folded as an alternative; any creases or shrinking will recover in a few days.
  • To maintain original form and quality long-term, store flat and face up, for example, under a bed.

Can I place furniture or other objects on top of the mat?

Placing heavy objects and furniture on top of the mat for long periods of time can deform and flatten the inner foam of the mat. Lighter objects are fine to place on top of the mat, and it is best to keep them there for only short periods of time.

What are other maintenance tips I need to know?

  • Keep mat in a cool dry place to maintain longevity of its quality.
  • Material discolouring may occur after a while.
  • If there is an odor when first receiving the mat, don’t worry, that odor goes away after a few days.
  • Color transferring onto another surface can occur if excessive and/or continual rubbing occurs. Please avoid.
  • Urethane (Buffer) will deteriorate the mat if put in contact.

Can I order Custom Sizing & Custom Colours/Patterns?

Absolutely! Please send us an inquiry email at cs@tatamikids.com with details on size, colour, and/or pattern. We will get back to you with further next steps to make your design a reality.

      Product Questions

      The color of the item received doesn't match exactly what the photo showed, why?

      Due to variances in monitor resolution and color, as well as photography settings, lighting and post-production effects, items shown on photos online and items received may not match exactly. Also, if there was a last minute design change on a product, small variances may occur (stitching, accent colors, etc). If it is a large change, it will be noted in the product description.
