I wouldn't. Magic erasers are abrasive - that's why they take things off. Teflon is a thin, rather easily damaged coating. I don't think that's a good combination.

Agree. I would not use it on Teflon either.

I sure hope the answer to this is yes!

Do you use it on a hot or cold iron? Is the Magic Eraser wet or dry?

Magic Eraser works because there is cleaner embedded in it. Use a nylon scrubbie or gum eraser to take out the lint on a cutting mat. Check out the instructions for keeping a cutting mat in good condition. They work!

The magic eraser works great on the bottom of your iron. I also use it on a lot of household cleaning. It is great.

Wow! Never thought about using them on an iron. Thanks so much for these tips. I LOVE this board!!!

I am gonna try this. I am always gumming up my small iron with elmer's glue or certain muslins.

Yes, they're great for the cutting mat, wet or dry. I generally just use a dry scotchbrite pad. Only wet it, if you plan on drying it when you're finished cleaning. Unless your cutting mat is soiled with water soluable (spelling?), I'd be content to use the dry pad.
