Anyone have any ideas on how to clean a cricut mat or renew its stickiness?
Thanks,

Baby wipes. Clean them off really well, lay them out to dry and you are good to go! I did this on all my mats for years- they lasted a really long time too.

I wash them in mild soapy water and let them air dry.

I scrub mine with baby wipes and let dry.  Then sometimes they are sticky again.  But for more stickiness, I use a jumbo Zig 2 way glue pen to cover it in the glue.  Let it dry overnight so it will be repositionable.  Good as or better than new!

I think any would work . . . I usually keep the unscented on hand for my little kids.

This is what I do too. Never tried the baby wipes.

I've tried a few things, but here is what works best for me.  I refresh the adhesive with Scotch Repositionable Spray Adhesive.  It's the one in the orange can with the white cap.  It's not available here at ACOT, but maybe soon?    I find that it is just the right amount of "stickiness" for the mats.  I mask off the edges and give one light coat.  Then I let it dry for about 10 minutes, and it's ready to go.  I usually get about 3-4 re-sprays before the mat has just had it, and the can of spray adhesive lasts a long time.

I have this pinned on pinterest.  Because my machine is still under warranty, I am waiting to try it
