Let it soak in water and dry naturally.

Glad this question was ask. I did not know to soak my mat or to use a scrubby to clean it. This has been added to my 2 do list.

I use a kitchen scrubbie, ones you can pick up at a craft show made out of tulle. Especially when you cut up fleece and batting on your mat. I have never heard of the soaking in water, I will give that one a try. I have several mats that need a soakin'!!!

Here is Olfa's response to cleaning mats. I have used it often. And remember about distortion through heat!!!!

"Fleece fibers are naturally attracted to your self-healing rotary mat. To clean your OLFA mat, use a generous amount of room temperature water and a few drops of mild detergent. Use a soft, mild bristle brush such as a toothbrush or mushroom brush to create a lather and gently clean your mat. Rinse with room temperature water and wipe dry with a cotton towel. Please note that warm or hot water and direct sunlight may damage the mat.

Very interesting. I would think that the water might warp it , I'll have to try that. Thanks for the info. I usually just use a wad of painters tape.

I have two mats. One is a bit warped. Can this be fixed?
thanks
