Know before you buy
The cloth measures 53 cm by 53 cm, or approximately 20.87 inches square. Its generous size makes it suitable for use as a tea mat, a table setting, or a decorative accessory.
No, the Charing Cross Chabu is not machine washable. We recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the graphic print.
While it is made of absorbent cotton, it is designed primarily as a tea ritual accessory. Because it is not lint-free and requires specific care, it is better suited for tea service than for heavy-duty kitchen cleaning.
No, the material is not stain-resistant. Given the nature of tea service, we recommend being mindful of spills to keep the graphic print looking its best over time.
No, this product is not bleach safe. Using bleach will likely damage the fabric and fade the Charing Cross 24 design.
