    What do you use to clean your cutting mat? I know it sounds stupid but mine is double sided and the side that lays on the table is now dirty. Should I just use soap and warm water? Can I use a household cleaner? I don't want to damage my fabric....

    I have used a little soap and wiped it dry.

    Usually a little dish soap and water. I have sprayed it with 409 before and it didn't hurt it

    Wet wipes/baby wipes work well also.

    I'd be careful with baby wipes as they may have an oil in them which would transfer onto fabric.
