How do you clean wooden placemats?

Question

(The kind that are like a bunch of sticks held together with string?) I made the mistake of letting the food dry onto them! How do I clean them properly?

Answer 1

I also have those kind, and over time, have done the very same

thing. What I did was take a  well dampened towel/cloth and place

it atop each area that had dried food, and let it sit for awhile. It had

loosened up the food enough where I was able to simply wipe it off.

I'm sure this will work for you too. You can also put some dish soap

on the dampened cloth before applying. Good Luck! :)

Answer 2

It may remove some of the color to the mats but you can take them and spray them with bleach water mixed 25/75 and spray them with that and rinse with a pressured hose and hang to dry but you may have to do all of them to keep the same color.
