I took it out and laid it flat on a towel on the floor and dried it. I had no problems. It is still flat as can be. Soaking isn't a miracle, and it isn't a new board, but it did help a little bit. If nothing else, it was clean. :) |

what's the advantage of washing your mat? I don't get it ...

[quote=quiltlonger]Never soaked mine but occasionally gets a good washing (sometimes it gets left on table and boys seem to use it as a giant placemat) BOYS are 14,18,22 & ?? hubby is watching.
Hahahahahaha - have you been looking in MY house! I caught the cat sleeping on it today - with the dog beside her! |
That's odd that the Olfa reps say not to soak it but that article says to do it. It is rather baffling!
|
I would love to try the soaking method. My mat have been around and could use some hydrating.

Printed on the cutting board for care, there is no mention of soaking the board or that it loves moisture, I just use a damp cloth and I purchased one of those quilt mat smoother from Joanne that I run over the board on occasion. I don't think I want to soak my board. It was quite expensive
