{"title":"Picnic Mats","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWaterproof picnic mats that never need the washing machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicnic blankets tell the same story every time. You spread it on the grass. The dew soaks through. Sunscreen leaves a permanent mark. Sand gets woven into the fibres. And on the drive home, the whole car smells of damp wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudio Huske picnic mats are made from silicone leather, a material that is waterproof both sides, does not absorb grass moisture, and shakes clean of sand in seconds. Sunscreen, the stain that ruins every fabric blanket, wipes off with a cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.studiohuske.com\/products\/large-round-waterproof-play-mat-explore\"\u003eExplore\u003c\/a\u003e (135 cm round, 1.1 kg) seats a family of three with room for food.

Both fold flat into a bag and weigh little enough to carry on a hike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes a good picnic mat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt needs to keep you dry from the ground, clean up without a washing machine, resist staining from food and sunscreen, and fold small enough to actually bring with you. Silicone leather does all four. The surface is also certified non-toxic (OEKO-TEX Class 1), so babies can sit, crawl, and mouth it safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks all year\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost picnic blankets live in a cupboard from October to April. A silicone mat does not care what month it is. The material does not absorb moisture, so you can sit on damp grass without feeling it through. It folds into a bag, so there is no reason not to throw it in the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAfter the picnic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake off crumbs and grass. Rinse under a tap if needed. Fold it back into the bag. No drying time, no laundry cycle, no soggy blanket in the boot for three days. For stubborn marks like hummus or berry juice, a paste of baking soda and water lifts them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes sand stick to it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Sand falls right off the silicone surface. Shake the mat and it is clean. This is the single biggest advantage over fabric picnic blankets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill sunscreen stain it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilicone leather resists sunscreen, which is the number one permanent stain on fabric blankets. Wipe any residue promptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it comfortable to sit on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Silicone leather is warm to the touch, not cold like plastic. The surface has a soft, slightly textured feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it blow away?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Explore weighs 1.1 kg and the Gallivant weighs 1.9 kg. Heavy enough to stay put on grass, and the grip underside helps anchor them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it as a table protector at a campsite?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
