Taking Care of My Potting Mat

How to Take Care of Your Jungle Floor Repotting Mat

Every Jungle Floor Creative repotting mat is made to order — designed with care, crafted by hand, and printed with playful, plant-loving patterns to make your indoor gardening sessions a little more joyful. With a variety of unique designs, we hope each mat inspires you to repot with creativity, confidence, and (a little) less mess.

Our mats are water-resistant (very nearly waterproof!) — perfect for catching spilled soil, drips of water, or runaway LECA. But just like your plants, they need a bit of care now and then. Whether you’re someone who lets the dirt settle or likes to keep your tools spotless, a quick clean can help your mat look fresh and last longer.

Below are our easy, mess-free steps to help you care for your Jungle Floor Creative repotting mat — so it's always ready for your next planty project.

How to Take Care of Your Repotting Mat (The Fun, Mess-Free Way!)

Your Jungle Floor Creative repotting mat is made to handle all the messy magic of plant care — but giving it a little love after each use will keep it in top shape for years to come. Here's how to clean, dry, and store your mat like a pro:

1. Shake Off the Mess

When you're done repotting, lift the edges of the mat so all the leftover soil, perlite, and water collect in the center. Then fold the bottom edge up, followed by the left and right sides — like you’re wrapping a leafy little burrito.
Take it outside or to a bin and empty it out (your garden will thank you).

2. Brush or Hose It Down

Lay the mat flat and give it a good scrub with a rough brush or a damp cloth. For extra dirty days, a quick blast with the hose works wonders! This helps remove any leftover soil or plant debris from your indoor gardening session.

3. Soapy Suds and a Wipe-Down

Spray the mat with water and add a little bit of washing-up liquid. Wipe it clean with a soft cloth — gentle but effective.

4. Hang It to Dry

Use the handy straps to hang your Jungle Floor Creative repotting mat somewhere shaded. It usually dries within an hour or so (faster on sunny days, just avoid too much direct sunlight).

5. Fold and Store for Next Time

Once it’s completely dry, fold your mat in half and roll it up — ready for your next repotting session or planty adventure.

🌿 A Few Quick Warnings:

  • Hand wash only — no washing machines, please!

  • Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight or UV rays, as this can affect the durability of your mat.

  • Store somewhere dry and cool for best results.

  • remember when emptying mat take of anything that will not be biodegradable in the garden.

Take care of your tools, and they’ll take care of your plants.
Ready to roll out your mat and repot again? Jungle Floor Creative has you covered.
