The person who said “Don’t cry over spilt milk” probably didn’t see very many cups knocked over at their kitchen table. A glass of milk or water cascading over your kitchen table right in the middle of the meal is always dramatic. No matter how calmly you try to handle it. There’s the rush to get the paper towels. The scramble to save the remaining food from the beverage. And, you need to soothe the perpetrator of the spillage. Don’t add “remove soaked placemats from the table” to that list.
Wipe clean placemats are what they sound like. You just need to wipe them down with a damp cloth after spills or your usual amount of after-dinner crumbs. They’re usually made out of PVC or plastic. Two of our picks are heat-resistant, so they won’t melt under the pressure of hot dishes and will protect your table from heat damage. The best wipe clean placemats are also stylish. They aren’t always in garish bright colors or don’t look like kids placemats. We picked out classy color combinations that’ll look nice on your table every night. The placemat sets we selected come with either four or six placemats.
