you can soak the cutting board in water and white vinegar, use a soft brush (like a mushroom brush) let it soak for about an hour rinse and let dry makes it like new!!

That's an idea I hadn't heard of. I will try it.
Thanks

I am guesing your cutting board is white! Go with the Olfa green one when the sale comes up again.

I don't know how old your cutting mats are but when you get a new one be sure to clean off all the lint-fabric-threads that get imbedded when you use your rotary cutter.

Using wet or damp cloth is good, but also bend the mat a bit to expose those bits that get imbedded and remove them.

I had my cutting mat for 8 yrs, using both sides, before I had to replace it. Taking even better care now.

Heard it on Fons and Porter

I got a Fiskas 24 x 36 double sided mat at walmart a couple of months ago for around $30. There is a grid on both sides.

I use a sticky roller for lint removal on my Olfa Mat and it does a great job at cleaning out the little cracks so it can mend itself. It is the green cutting mat by Olfa. Have had it for over 10 yrs.

I TRY to use a different areas; also I recently replaced my smaller boards with the Fisker? two in one as they are gridded on both sides. I also like the way my cutter goes across this brand.
