Great info, but I’ve noticed that when you use a paper towel to dry off your freshly cleaned mat that a lot of the fibers from the paper towel will stick to the adhesive and make the mat lose its stick again. I dry my mats with a hairdryer instead and although it takes a few extra minutes, you end up with a much stickier mat. You can also just let them air dry but I’m impatient so I used a hair dryer :p

I like learning all the different ways to clean the mats.

You are so patient .
It's satisfying watching it come off on the fabric mat.

I think I could listen to you talk about anything. Love your personality! And amazing tips! I totally ruined my mat by scraping too hard... the more you know.

Thank you for sharing these methods! I am new to cricut world and briefly saw a post about the LA's on tiktok, but seeing all three compared is so helpful!

I used the method with the LA's Totally Awesome to clean my fabric mat last night, and it worked like a charm! I did exactly like you said and took care not to press too hard, and the warm water rinse at the end rinsed away anything that was left. Thank you so much for this video and this cleaning idea. My fabric mat was not sticking anymore at all. Now it's back to like new. I'm just blown away by this.

No disrespect but I love how your accent makes it sound like you're saying "baby WAP"

It's alive! It's alive!! All I needed was a few baby wipes! Worried at first but I let it sit as advised and I basically have a new mat thanks again!

[beatrizaroca]

Wow! it’s pouring over by you!! Oh thx for the ideas!

Also clean the clear protective film as it gets dusty too. Also mark one side with black X and the other with a red X. Make sure you always put it back on with the same color X after every use. It will extend the life of your mats.

By far the best tutorial on cleaning mats on YouTube! Thank you…..plus you are adorable 😁

Thank you!!! I *just* got a Cricut Joy, and on the first day using it, my daughter managed to lint up the matt that came with it so much so it was barely sticky. Thankfully, YouTube to the rescue - and I rather quickly found this channel and this video. Because I do not have baby wipes nor the dollar-tree cleaner on hand, I simply used a little bit of my dish soap and rinsed in cold water at my sink. It is almost dry now, and looks pretty good. I still have a few bits of fine black link stands remaining, but that is likely because I didn't hardly apply any pressure during my process (just used fingers and rinsed). But it is all sticky again, and I can now actually use it! In addition to this one, I've watched a few other videos and am impressed with the video quality -- both clarity of instructions and also good use of video camera angles. So definitely I have subscribed. Thank you!

[joonnijohnson]

thank you for sharing these amazing ways of cleaning my mats. I used Dawn dish soap the 1st time and used too much pressure. I learned the hard way.

[heidilange]

Thanks Tanner for the demo of all the cleaning products and techniques. Very helpful.

This video has the most amazing lighting! I don't know if it's because of cloud cover from the rain, or the lighting of the room. Great video!

[patmebackimirish]

Since I have more than one mat I use the dish soap and water. I wash them after use when I see the stickiness decreasing and let them drop dry in a dish just like one of those sticky lint rollers you just washed like a charm.

[teresapierce]

Not sure how I missed this video, but this is a total game changer! I like the baby wipes!

[SharonPerehudoff]

Thank you for sharing this video on how to clean your Cricut mats sure learned something new today and will give it a try.

My sister does a lot of paper cutting. So she uses LA's Totally Awesome. She's made 9 greeting cards and so far LA's Totally Awesome hasn't failed in keeping her green mats nice and sticky. She hangs them up on a shower hook and lets them dry in the shower on the shower rod.
