Setup Instructions
Your House of Noa play mat consists of interlocking EVA foam tiles designed for easy assembly. The Chateau Gemma 4'x8' set includes 8 tiles, each measuring 24.8" x 24.8" and 0.47" thick, along with edge pieces to create a finished look.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all tiles and edge pieces from the packaging.
- Prepare Surface: Ensure the floor where the mat will be placed is clean, dry, and free of debris.
- Assemble Tiles: Begin by interlocking the main tiles like puzzle pieces. The tiles are designed to fit together securely. Pay attention to the pattern and the orientation of each tile to ensure a cohesive design. Some tiles may have specific 'ABCD' markings on the back to guide assembly, ensuring all pieces align correctly.
- Attach Edge Pieces: Once the main mat is assembled, attach the straight edge pieces around the perimeter to create a seamless, rug-like finish.
- Verify Fit: Gently press down on all seams to ensure a tight and secure fit between all tiles and edge pieces.

Usage Guidelines
The House of Noa Baby Play Mat is designed to provide a safe and comfortable surface for various child activities. It is ideal for:
- Tummy time for infants.
- Crawling and early mobility practice.
- Learning to walk, offering a cushioned landing.
- General floor play with toys.
Important Considerations:
- This mat is intended for indoor use only.
- While the mat is durable, sharp objects such as high heels or pet claws may cause damage. Avoid placing heavy furniture with sharp legs directly on the mat for extended periods, as this may cause permanent indentations.
- Ensure that water or moisture does not become trapped underneath the mat, as this can lead to mold or damage to your flooring.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your play mat. The water-resistant surface makes cleaning simple.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe up spills immediately with a dry cloth.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and water or an all-purpose cleaner. Apply to a cloth and gently wipe the mat surface.
- Drying: After cleaning, ensure the mat is completely dry before allowing use or re-placing it on the floor. Do not allow water to sit on or under the mat.
- Avoid: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, or power vacuums, as these can damage the mat's surface and finish.
- Stains: While most spills wipe up easily, extreme dirt, paint spills, or heavily pigmented items may cause staining and should be avoided.
