Olfa mat not 'healing'

[snippet]

Wow, glad you posted this question. I never knew about the nylon scrubby.

Awesome info! I had never heard of using a scrubby!! Told my wife and we now have a scrub date with all our mats!! New year scrub time!!

I'll have to try this; my one and only mat is about 9 years old and has never been cleaned. Realistically, how long would you expect it to last, assuming you use it often? Mine hasn't gotten a LOT of use until the past 2 or 3 years.

Interesting comments re: the mats. I've never done anything with mine, other than vacuum or wipe off the dust or small fabric pcs. I never knew there was a way to help it heal. Thanks for the tips. Just not sure I want to get my mat wet. I'm in the middle of a big project. JCY

I used a dry scrubber on mine and it worked just fine.

Hi, I clean my cutting mat with the nylon scrubby after cutting each project & my mat is years old with no cut marks. I also change my blade in the Olaf after cutting each project. Then use the used blade in a separate (marked) cutter for paper & batting.

I think a bunch of stores are going to have an unexpected run on nylon scrubbies
