Know before you buy
No, these coasters are not absorbent. They are designed primarily as decorative accents and should be wiped dry if they come into contact with condensation.
To keep the needlepoint looking its best, spot clean the surface gently using a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.
These coasters do not feature a non-slip backing. The base is made of solid wood, so you may want to be mindful when placing them on slick, polished surfaces.
These coasters are intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, or direct sunlight may damage the wood and the delicate cotton needlepoint.
No, they are not dishwasher safe. The combination of solid wood and hand-stitched cotton thread requires manual care to maintain their integrity.
