Quick answer
To keep your Militia Ranger playmat looking sharp and lying flat, clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then flatten it under a stack of books for 24 hours if it curls.
Why proper care matters
Your Militia Ranger playmat doubles as a desk pad and a tabletop surface for Cloudspire sessions. Dust, crumbs, and oils from your hands can stain the fabric over time. Curling happens when the mat is stored rolled or in a humid environment. Regular maintenance keeps it smooth and extends its life.
How to clean and flatten your Militia Ranger playmat
- Spot clean with a damp cloth: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with water. Dampen a soft cloth (not soaking wet) and gently blot any stains or dirty spots. Avoid scrubbing hard, which can fray the edges. Never submerge the mat in water or use bleach—it can damage the printed design and the rubber backing.
- Air dry completely: Lay the mat flat on a clean towel or a drying rack. Let it air dry for 4-6 hours. Do not use a hair dryer, radiator, or direct sunlight—heat can warp the rubber base. If the mat is still damp after 6 hours, flip it over and let the underside dry for another 2 hours.
- Flatten curled edges: Place the dry mat on a hard, flat surface. Put a heavy stack of books or a flat weight (like a cutting board) on top of the curled areas. Leave it for 24 hours. For stubborn curls, repeat the process with the mat rolled in the opposite direction overnight before weighting it.
- Store flat or loosely rolled: When not in use, store the mat flat under a desk or inside a drawer. If you must roll it, roll it loosely with the printed side facing outward and secure it with a fabric band. Avoid tight rubber bands or tape—they can leave permanent creases or indentations on the mat.
