I have an old mat that is also way beyond repair...so I scrubbed it down, and now I use it in the Fall for a huge cutting mat when I harvest my veggies. I can comfortably sit at the dining room table and cut and chop tons of veggies at a time.

Do you realize that these cutting mats are not food safe?

I know everywhere they say warm water soak, nut somewhere and sorry don't remember where I read read to add vinegar to the water and then use a cloth to rub it to get the small lints off. I personally don't have a tub, so I soak a towel with warm water with a little dawn and vinegar over the mat. Rub it gently with a used Scott pad. Rinse it and let dry flat.

Also, if you look at your mat very closely, (or with a magnifying glass)
you will see all kinds of bits and pieces. Do you want this in your food?
Let's not talk about the chemicals in the mat.
Personally I don't need a study to confirm this. It's pretty obvious that
my food would never touch a rotary cutting mat (new or old).
But if you're still in doubt, check with the manufacturer.
