Going to try...

I read a topic about soaking your cutting mats. I live in a modular home. Our bathtubs are a bit narrow to handle my large cutting mat. Afraid to lay it with some of it exposed and not wanting it to curl.
My DH suggested that maybe I should lay the mat on the table and wash it down with distilled water, being it is cleaner water then comes from the tap.

I did mine in a tub with warm water, vinegar and a splash of dish soap. It curled a bit on the sides, but I just moved it every 10-15 minutes so that every part of it had some time to soak. I turned it over and did the other side, too, so the curl had a chance to go both ways.
I then laid it flat on the floor and it was fine. It is still flat.
I think the key is warm water - not hot or cold - and moving it so that the curl goes both ways and it all has a chance to soak.
