Cutting mat maintenance?
#3
This was discussed recently (about rotary blades). They can be wiped down with microfiber cloths or nylon kitchen scrubbers.
I need to learn to practice not pressing so hard with the rotary cutter myself!

I also give mine a "bath" every so often. Helps to keep it from drying out. I put warm water in the tub, and let it soak a bit. Pat it dry, lay it out on towels to let it finish drying flat. Works for me! :)

I had also read that you can soak the mat in the tub, however this is only for Olfa mats. Even on their website they recommend soaking them once a month as they love water. But beware, not all manufacturers recommend this.
I have a Fiskars mat and I called them to see if they recommend the same thing. They told me "NO!"
So please check with the manufacturer of your mat before soaking it.
I also heard that the scrunchies work great, but haven't tried it.
