Silhouette Mats

[Newgrandma2013]

How do you clean a silhouette cameo mat? I have been cleaning my cricut mats for years and they always work great, but I didn't know if you do the same for the silhouette ones. Thank you.

I usually just use a baby wipe to lightly clean my mats. When I want to resticky it, I take all the adhesive off with acetone/nail polish remover and then put new adhesive on it.

I scrape old paper off with a plastic putty spatula. Other than that - I don't clean it.

These plastic putty spatula / applicators are in the hardware section. About $1-$3

I use hot soapy water and let them soak for a minute then gently wipe with my Scrub Daddy sponge, rinse and air dry. Easy peasy. It gets all the leftover paper off and comes out nice and sticky.

Thank all of you for you help. I know what I will be doing tonight.

I do all of the things above. The best little thing to use to get the bits off the Silhouette mat is the little spatula made by Cricut. The other thing I use for bigger messes on the mat is the scrapper you get with Pampered Chef. It works great and I have several of them hanging out on my desk! I always have 2 mats so I can cut one while I clean another. To facilitate the cleaning I raise my Silhouette up on these metal expanding shelves! They work great in a limited space. I also raise my BigShot on these.
