CARE & MAINTENANCE |

Great news! Water will not damage felt. In fact, the material is able to wick away large quantities of moisture. Just let it air dry and, if necessary, lay the product flat with some weight on top just to make sure those wool fibres keep in place.

Wine, oil, and food

• Step 1: Wet the spot well with a mix of warm water and light detergent until saturated.
• Step 2: Massage the stain lightly to break up fibres - wait 2 or 3 minutes.
• Step 3: Pat – don’t rub - the area firmly with an absorbent paper towel to remove moisture.
• Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 as necessary till the stain visibly lightens.
• Step 5: Rinse and repeat until the detergent clears.
• Step 6: Pat (again, don’t rub) the surface well and lay flat to dry.

ABOUT BIERFIZL COASTERS | 

Up until the late 19th century, coasters made from wool felt were used in taverns across Bavaria.  These coasters not only served to protect the furniture from unsightly rings but also kept out falling leaves and uninvited flying guests from cold pints. 

The invention of thick paper coasters in the 1880s marked the demise of their felt counterparts, but happily, the original name stuck.  To this day Bavarians call coasters of all kinds Bierfilzl, or beer felt.

In keeping with tradition, Graf Lantz has recreated their Bierfilzl in thick, natural wood felt from Germany.  These handsome, sturdy and durable coasters are sure to protect your surfaces in timeless style.
