FAQ

What are the main materials used in tatami mats?

Our tatami mats are made in Japan using 100% igusa, a plant traditionally used for tatami surfaces. Igusa is known for its fresh scent and moisture-absorbing properties. We also use high-quality Japanese washi paper, which is resin-coated to enhance durability and water resistance.

How should I care for my tatami mat every day?

To maintain your tatami mat, follow these simple steps:
・Dry Wipe: Use a dry cloth or soft brush to gently wipe the surface, removing dust and dirt.
・Vacuum: Run a vacuum cleaner along the grain of the tatami to clean effectively without causing damage.
・Ventilation: Regularly open windows to ventilate the room and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold.
・Dehumidify: Use a dehumidifier during humid seasons to reduce mold risk.

What is the lifespan of a tatami mat?

The lifespan of a tatami mat varies based on material and usage. Igusa tatami mats typically last 7-10 years, while washi tatami mats can last 10-13 years. Proper care and regular ventilation can extend their life.

How should I store my tatami mat?

Follow these steps to store your tatami mat properly:
1. Clean: Thoroughly clean the mat with a dry wipe and vacuum to remove dust and dirt.
2. Dry: Ensure the mat is completely dry to prevent mold. Place it in a well-ventilated area for several days or use a dryer.
3. Anti-Mold Treatment: Spray both sides of the mat with an anti-mold spray.
4. Store: Roll the mat and place it in a sealed plastic or non-woven fabric bag with mothballs to prevent insects or moisture from entering. Store in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid placing it directly on the floor; use a shelf or platform (this allows for ventilation).
