How do you protect the floor under your highchair? We are doing BLW, so our floor gets extra messy, though I'm fairly certain it happens with spoon feeding purees too. We also use a hook on chair on our kitchen island, so no legs to clean around, or to hold a mat down.

We have hardwood floor under the high chair, but the food gets into the tiny indents between the wood, and is a pain to clean. I've tried a plastic splat mat, but it's a pain to clean since it's loose and it can't go in the washing machine. I tried a plain blanket and that's a little better since I can just wash it every few days.

Curious what other people do and if there is a better solution. C hasn't quite gotten the hang of putting food down ON her tray-- she puts her arm out to the side then opens her hand, so lots of food hits the floor!
