A place mat or table mat is a covering or pad designating an individual place sitting, unlike the larger tablecloth that covers the entire surface. Materials and production methods range from mass-produced and commercial, to local and traditional. Their primary function is to protect the dinner table from water marks, food stains or heat damage. They also serve as decoration, especially place mat made from lace or silk. In restaurants, they can be used to advertise menu items, specials, local businesses or games for children. If the mat is cotton, it can absorb water and other liquids. Protects the table top surface and reduces noise from plates and cutlery. Practical and easy to clean since you can wipe off the plastic with a damp cloth.
