Treat any stains on the place mats with a stain remover before you wash the mats. Dab the stain remover onto the stains, and rub gently to loosen them.

Wash the place mats with your regular detergent in a washing machine. Set the water temperature to cold to keep the colors from fading or bleeding.

Dry the place mats in a clothes dryer on a low heat setting to keep them from shrinking. Remove them from the dryer immediately after the cycle is finished, and flatten them with your hands to prevent wrinkles.
