If my tub isn't big enough to lay the mat flat, how can I clean and rehydrated mine? By the time I buy a storage thing big enough, I could just buy a new one. Any suggestions?

thanks for the tips i shall try them too especially after my moving my mat got warped and i need to get it flat you guys are the greatest

Great info, thanks for sharing!

thanks for the info

Clean the mat??? I guess I am a baaaadddd girl. Have never done it

Oh, you're supposed to clean your mats? Just kidding. Great info to have.

This is such great info, thanks everyone for your advice.

I use a sponge covered with microfiber material (bought at the dollar store) to clean the mat of little thread; it works very well. I also bought a mat smoother (on amazon or ebay), I bidded and got it for 1.76, the full price was 7.99. I don't know if it works any better than the microfiber sponge. Before all that I just used my flannel scraps to get the thread out; it worked well too.

Thanks for that tip-that sounds great.

Thanks, everyone, for the great tips. I learn so much here every day! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
