- Best Feature: The stitched edging gives them a surprisingly premium, handcrafted look.
- Heads-up: They're great for hot plates, but not suitable for sizzling skillets from the oven.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth was looking to reduce their significant laundry costs and the time spent resetting tables with linen placemats during their hectic tourist season.
"We switched to the Olympia placemats before summer, and the difference was immediate. Our tables look just as smart, but we’ve cut our table reset time down, and our linen cupboard is no longer overflowing. They just wipe clean and are ready for the next guest. It's simplified our service massively."
Robert Davies – Restaurant Manager
The restaurant reported a saving of over £200 a month on laundry bills and estimated that table turnover during peak hours became 20% faster.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and lay the placemats flat to ensure they settle perfectly.
- Before the first use, give each mat a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- Ensure your table surface is clean and completely dry before placing them down.
Keeping It Going
- For daily cleaning, simply wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if needed.
- Wipe up dark liquids like red wine or coffee quickly to avoid any chance of staining.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical sprays, which can damage the surface.
- Store them flat when not in use to prevent any unwanted creases or curling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these placemats completely waterproof?
A: Yes, the synthetic leather surface is non-porous and waterproof, so spills will not soak through to the table.
Q: Can I put them in the dishwasher?
A: No, these are not dishwasher safe. They should only be wiped clean by hand with a damp cloth.
Q: How flexible are they? Can they be rolled for storage?
A: They are flexible, but we strongly recommend storing them flat to maintain their shape and prevent permanent creasing.
Q: Do they slip and slide on smooth tabletops?
A: They have a slightly grippy texture on the underside which helps them stay in place on most typical table surfaces like wood or laminate.
Q: What is the best way to clean off greasy food marks?
A: A soft cloth with a small amount of mild washing-up liquid and warm water is very effective at removing grease. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth afterwards.
Q: Will the dark brown colour fade over time with cleaning?
A: When cleaned as recommended (without harsh chemicals or abrasives), the colour is very stable and designed to resist fading from regular use.
Q: What does 'heat-resistant to 70°C' actually mean?
A: It means they can safely handle the heat from a standard hot dinner plate without marking or damaging the placemat or the table underneath.
Q: Is the stitching durable?
A: Yes, the stitching is designed for commercial use, helping to prevent the edges from fraying and adding to the overall durability of the placemat.

Explore more from OlympiaThe Best of Both Worlds: Why Synthetic Leather Works
Ever wondered what makes 'synthetic leather' such a great choice for a busy restaurant? Think of it like this: it gives you all the visual appeal of classic, expensive leather – the rich texture, the sophisticated look – but with the resilience of modern materials. Real leather needs oils and conditioners, and a single red wine spill can be a disaster. These placemats, however, are non-porous. Spills sit on the surface waiting to be wiped away, rather than soaking in and staining. It’s the five-star look with zero-stress maintenance, designed for the reality of a fast-paced food service environment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bistros & Gastro Pubs: Ideal for protecting wooden tables while creating a warm, upscale-casual dining atmosphere.
- Busy Cafés: These wipeable synthetic leather mats allow for incredibly fast table cleanup between customers.
- Hotels & B&Bs: Perfect for dressing tables in the dining room or adding a touch of class to in-room service trays.
- Restaurants & Wine Bars: Use these faux leather table mats for restaurants to create a cohesive, stylish look that's also brilliantly low-maintenance.
