Gosh, I shudder when ever I hear about those lint rolls now, I have bought two of them in recent months one expensive and the other not so, neither one of them works. The expensive one worked for the first roll then every pass after that I could have picked more off with good old fashioned tweezers. I have found the best thing that works for me is wrapping parcel masking tape around my hand and patting the lint off.

I bought a mat cleaner from Quilt in a Day web site. Works great. I have also seen it on Nancy's Notions site. Looks like a hard eraser. I have never heard of soaking my mat. You never know what you will learn on this site.
