Cutting Mat Care Essentials

Store flat — Never lean a self-healing mat against a wall. It will warp and may not recover.

Avoid heat — Keep away from direct sunlight, heat vents, and hot irons. Heat permanently damages self-healing surfaces.

Clean monthly — Wipe with cool water and mild dish soap to maintain grid visibility and surface integrity.
