Machine-washable mat for under high chair?
DH is a clean freak. DD is learning about food and drops things on the floor. These two don't go well together. I thought that having an easily-wipeable lineolum floor would be enough, but DH wants a mat/dropcloth to contain the mess. Is there something out there that is easily wipeable (ie, a plasticky or vinyl-type surface) and also machine-washable? Are vinyl tablecloths machine washable? Is there something mroe eco-friendly? Or should I Just use an old blanket?
We use a $6 canvas painters tarp
It's waterproof and machine washable. It's a subtle tan canvas so it fits our decor and you can't beat the price. We bought two from Menards and I just toss one in the washer with towels whenever it gets dirty.
