Tatami mats help to clean the air by absorbing nitrogen dioxide in the room. They are also hygroscopic,

absorbing moisture during periods of high humidity and naturally discharging the moisture when the air is dry.

Tatami mats act as an insulator as well, keeping your room cool in the summer and warmer in the winter time.

Care of Tatami Mats

Tatami mats are green when new and over time will dry to become tan in color. To extend the life of your

Tatami, keep them dry to avoid possible mildew. If possible, remove the mats quarterly and allow them to dry

in the sunfor an afternoon. If your climate is damp, a room dehumidifier will also help protect your Tatami.

To preserve the life of your mats, remove your shoes before stepping on them. If you use a futon or mattress on top of your Tatami, airdry your mats by removing the futon or mattress on a regular basis. If your bed is

situated in a room with high humidity or with limited ventilation, stand the mats up on edge outside on a sunny day for an afternoon if possible.To freshen and protect your mats, rotate them regularly to avoid wear from

highly trafficked areas. Use a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. Do not use strong detergents or

abrasive cleaners as these may damage thesurface of the mats.

For stubbornmarks, use an equal portion of white vinegar and water using a damp cloth.
