I didn't notice any difference in mine either. However, I noticed one thing is that
cutting non-starched fabric can really mess up your mat specially when it's on
the thinner side...not voile but not the best quality quilting cotton. Live and learn.
For Olfa mats you are supposed to soak 15-20 mins in cool water. Use 1/4 cup
vinegar for every gallon of water. Then use a mushroom brush and a little dish
soap to remove the trapped fibers.
