Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Grill in Torquay was looking for an alternative to their high-maintenance linen placemats, which were becoming costly to launder and replace. They needed something that looked professional but could withstand a relentless, fast-paced service, especially during the tourist season.
"We switched to these APS placemats and the difference in our workflow was immediate. Our team can now clear, clean, and reset a table in half the time. They look smart, they don't slip, and our laundry bills have dropped significantly. A simple change with a huge impact on our efficiency."
Robert Williams – Owner
The switch resulted in a 90% reduction in monthly laundry costs and an estimated 3-minute saving on every table turn.
Why PVC is the Smart Choice for Busy Tables
Ever wondered what makes a simple commercial PVC table mat black like this so effective? It's all down to the material's non-porous nature. Think of it like a sealed shield for your tabletop. Unlike fabric placemats that absorb spills, leading to tricky stains and the need for a full wash, PVC keeps everything on the surface. A red wine spill, a blob of ketchup, or a coffee ring just sits there waiting to be wiped away without a trace.
This means it's not just 'easy to clean' in theory; it's genuinely effortless in practice. A damp cloth and a quick spray are all you need to make it look brand new again, table after table, service after service. This quality is what delivers real-world savings in time, cleaning supplies, and laundry costs, making it a far more practical choice for any high-volume food business.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the placemats and allow them to lie flat to settle into shape.
- Give them a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth before their first use.
- Place them on clean, dry tables, ready for your first service.
- Check that they lie flat and don't rock on the table surface.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe clean with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent after each use.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the surface.
- Do not place in a dishwasher or commercial washer.
- Store them flat when not in use to prevent curling or creasing.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: No, these placemats are not dishwasher safe. They should be wiped clean by hand with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
