Oh, great! You tell me NOW after my DGS has been using my old favorite for his mini bikes, skate boards and cars because it was all scarred and dirty. Should see it now! Did not know it could be so flexible.

Ah, well. good to know for the future.

Wish I had read this post earlier. I just bought a new 24x36 mat this evening. The new one has the grid lines on both sides. Maybe it will last twice as long as the old one!

I think I will lay towels on the deck, spary them down with a hose, them my mat and another layer of towels. Spay those and leave it a few hours. I wonder what happens to all the dirt and batting fuzz and lint when the mat start healing itself....where does all that stuff go?

Why not lay it out in the rain, a cool rain, turn it over, then scrubby it, dry it with a towel and bring it back in, lay it flat and let it dry. No need for a bathtub here. Maybe a bathing suit! Have fun but the neighbors may think something is going wrong with you.
