What do those with wool mats do to protect from starch or are they washable?
The web site for Wooly Felted Wonders (
https://www.woolyfeltedwonders.com) has GREAT CARE instructions on their site; see "Care Instructions". I have one of their pressing mats and have not had a problem with using starch. I tend to go lighter on the starch and use my water sprayer more often. But as someone else mentioned, the mats draw moisture from the air; these mats are super.
