Using these placemats is a breeze. Just unfold them and place them on your table before your dinner party or gathering. They're great for adding a touch of elegance to your event. Remember, these placemats aren't safe for the microwave or dishwasher, so don't try to clean them that way. After use, simply throw them away as they're disposable. To keep them in good condition before use, store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
