Durability

Since this mat has a polymer coating on top it is way more durable than the 100% cloth mats when it comes to spillage. However, if you bend it tightly, it will damage the polymer coating and make the mat less smooth.

The spillage test:

As you can se on the pictures above the mat doesn't absorb any water at all. This is good because it makes the mat more durable when it comes to spilling soft drinks on it. I think that you can save the mat from being damaged by soft drinks spillage just by cleaning the mat with a damped cloth. The polymer coating also makes it very easy to clean the mat because dust doesn't stick to it.
