What is the best way to clean cutting mat?
#41
We cut lots of pellon, insulbrite, and other stuff that gets stuck in our big mats. We try to cut those orders last of the day, then we clean our mat with a special little rubber device that you just rub across it.
We also sell those, they work really well and one will last indefinitely.

If you get one of these someplace, read the directions. After the cleaner cleans it off your mat, you run the rubber thing under cold water and scrape the collected gook off with a fingernail.

I have never heard of that either! What will we learn next?
I use one of those pet brushes, the kind with rubber bristles...mine is purple so I can find it, but it still gets lost....but it really tugs the scraps and threads from the mat. I will have to try the soaking...my mats are at least 10 years old.

I don't know if this is the proper way to do it or not but I just spray my mat ever now and then and rub it with a teflon kitchen scrubber and then wipe it clean then re spray and let it sit and dry on its own. If anyone knows if this is ok or if I am doing more damage please post.
Thanks
