I didn't know about the soaking either. Great idea, I've had my mat forever. To get the fuzzies out I have used a wad of batting, you know the slivers that aren't really worth anything. Works for me.

I clean my cutting mats with a rubber cement pickup or frisket pickup - it's a little square of crepe rubber sold in the fine arts section of your craft store or in the office supply store near the glues or drafting supplies.
It really pulls the fibers out of the crevices and cleans up the surface. |
I'd like to do the soaking thing but don't have anything flat that is 24" x 36". What do others use please.
|
never knew that either
|
Could you put a wet bath towel onto of it for a couple of hours??
I've used my lint roller with success but can see that doesn't help with the resealing just cleans it. |
I love this board, you learn something new everyday!! Thank you for the tips.
|
Seriously? Soak it in water? I have had cutting mats for years and never knew that. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
|
Don't go soaking them yet. Someone needs to search this topic first. I think one of the companies, Olfa maybe, said to NOT put them in water.
|
Wet towell sounds like a great idea. Thanks
