    I use the net nylon bath things. Works great.

    Interesting... I have used a Magic Eraser. It's my newest favorite for cleaning almost everything!

    I just saw a hint using a rubber eraser. Haven't tried it yet since I am fresh out of erasers. LOL!

    Thanks for the tip. Mine needs to be cleaned again so I will see if there are still pool noodles at the dollar store or maybe Walmart. You always have great things to post!

    My mat has so many cuts in it that it causes lots of skips when I am cutting on it. I have decided to replace it but am now wondering if there is a chance a good cleaning and soak might save it. It's worth a try.

    I was at Joann's yesterday looking at replacements and was surprised to see that most of the mats available were not self-healing. The size I wanted was not available in self-healing so I didn't get one. Do you buy the ones that don't heal and if so, how is their life span compared to the other?
