Hi! Do you have to protect wood or surfaces when using this? Happy Holidays!

I have not put anything down to cover any surfaces. The only time water might get on a surface is when you add water. It hasn't been an issue for me.

We did not use a protectant at first but then thought it would be a good idea. We used a Teak Oil which can be used on the eucalyptus wood.

Yes, I've used it too over outdoor stepping stones, wood items, just about everything. It is my go-to protector. Have fun!

Considering I just put one on my custom built maple desks I certainly hope not! They are smooth flat plastic so they don't seem likely to scratch anything, unless there is something under them. I have them protecting the kids' surfaces because I didn't want to buy leather pads for them. It does collect light, however, hiding what beautiful wood may be under them (kind of like fiber optic). Great protection, but I you want something 'classy' find a leather pad.

No. The top consists of two boards, slightly separated. Though the wood is cedar, I would be afraid of moisture getting through.

I got this for my Mom. She uses on top of her dryer and the magnets hold it in place. My Mom is very pleased with this mat. I don't see why it couldn't be used on a wood table. The top of the mat should protect the wood from the heat and steam but I would check it out while using the mat to make sure the heat is not too much for the table top. You could also use it on the floor but once again I would suggest checking the surface under the mat to make sure the heat from the iron is not too much for the surface under the mat. You could also try several layers of towels under the mat to protect any surface you place the mat on. I got this for my Mom. She uses on top of her dryer and the magnets hold it in place.

Yes, you can use it on a wooden surface, the legs are tall enough to keep enough heat off wood.

keep it away from any wood and think it should be just fine, we take camping better than a real wood fire , no cleaning up

These pads we ordered we put on the bottom of our wood chairs to protect our wood floor in the dining room and they are great in fact I am going to order another set for we sold our table and chairs and are using a card table due to moving soon. As for your using them where there may be water and concrete I would be a little hesitant due to the felt part on this particular protector. You may be better off with one that does not have the felt on it. They do make one like that.

Hello Blessed, This is a great cleaner, but I do not think it would be best on wood. Please look for natural wood cleaner/protector. Hope you find something that helps! JAMES

I believe it is there for protection while home is being competed by contractors. I removed it once everyone was out of house. It makes it look more finished.

Yes! I have used this product for years. I also use it on my good wood tables and it has never damaged anything comes right off and can be reused over and over. It comes on handy to keep the grand kids from knocking things over.

I use it on my kitchen table (wood, but sealed with some sort of gloss). I wouldn't use it on a nice dining room table without a glossy protectant, though.

There is no protective coating on this table. We stained the table with the same cedar stain & sealer we applied to our deck. I would post a picture but there is 2+ feet of snow in the yard and I can't get to it. We leave the table & chairs out in the elements year round. They have held up fantastically and still look great!

i would say yes you can. use two sided tape but rember it could possibly damage wood surface if you take it off

It does in a small space. That said, I would not set it on an unprotected wood surface. I have glass tops on my dressers and some moisture can accumulate here in humid New York. In a large room in Arizona, it probably won't make much of a dent! I hope that helps.

there is a black, plastic (?) ring around the bottom that seems to prevent unintentional sliding. i'm not sure about it being protective, but i've had them for six months and they haven't scratched the wood floors
