Question re: cleaning cutting mat
When I cut batting (I usually use Warm and White/Natural), the batting fibers stick in cutting groves left from my rotary cutter. My mat is an Olfa mat. My questions are:
Do you have this problem?
If so, how do you clean your mat to remove those fibers?
(Note: I have used the rotary mat smoother which works okay, but seems like a lot of work.)
If you do not have that problem, what mat do you use? (I assume that would be the only difference.)
Any advice would be appreciated.

I keep an old cutting mat just for this purpose. Having said that I've
been cutting on a newish Wescott mat and it seems to clean fairly well.
Not sure how long it will last. The finish is a little different from those
green mats.
