Detail
Product Description
In the Ethiopian ceremony, fresh green grass, known as Ketema is spread across the floor as a symbol of welcome, prosperity, and connection to the earth. It transforms an ordinary room into a sacred space, signaling to guests that they are entering somewhere warm, intentional, and alive with tradition. This Green Turf Grass mat brings that same atmosphere into your home, without the sourcing, mess, or short lifespan of real grass.

Care & Maintenance
Shake & Brush: After use, shake gently to remove any debris such as coffee grounds, incense ash, or crumbs. Use a soft brush to restore the fibers to an upright position.
Spot Clean: For spills, blot immediately with a damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for stubborn stains, avoid soaking the mat.
Air Dry: If the mat gets wet, lay flat or hang to air dry completely before rolling up for storage. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Rolling & Storage: Roll loosely rather than folding to prevent permanent creases in the turf fibers. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy.
Versatile Use: This mat is designed forboth indoor and outdoor ceremonial use.
