**PITTA MAT CARE GUIDE 🏡**
*Not waterproof — so how should you maintain it?*
This is one of the questions we receive quite often about our PITTA Mat.
PITTA is an ultra-slim entrance mat designed especially for homes with **limited gate clearance**. Because of its material construction, it is **not waterproof and is not intended for frequent washing**.
But that doesn't mean it's difficult to maintain. 😊
**For everyday cleaning 🧹**
Regular vacuuming is usually all you need to remove dust, hair and loose dirt from the surface.
No vacuum? No problem. A lint roller works too! ✨
**For small water splashes 💧**
Don't worry about a little water. Use a clean cloth to absorb any excess moisture and allow the mat to **air dry naturally**.
**For stains or dirty spots 🧽**
Spot clean only where necessary. Apply a small amount of water with mild detergent to the affected area and gently clean with a cloth.
Remove any detergent residue with clean water, absorb the excess moisture with a clean cloth, then allow the area to air dry naturally.
**What if the mat gets fully soaked? 🌧️**
If occasional heavy rain or corridor cleaning causes the mat to become very wet, **lift the mat up and allow both the mat and the flooring underneath to dry properly** before placing it back.
**What we don't recommend ❌**
Avoid frequent full washing or soaking of the PITTA Mat. Regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning are the recommended ways to maintain it.
And an important reminder:
PITTA isn't designed to be the perfect mat for every entrance.
Its key advantage is its **ultra-slim profile**, making it suitable for homes where thicker entrance mats may interfere with gate movement.
If your entrance is **frequently or directly exposed to heavy rain without shelter**, we'll recommend considering a more suitable material instead.
**Different entrances have different needs.
The right solution starts with understanding your entrance. ❤️**
