How do you store your cutting mat without it bending and getting out of flat place? Yes
Wasn't able to get the discussion
How often would you suggest to do this cleaning of the mat?
If I clean my mat in the shower what are the proportions of vinegar, palmolive and water to put in a spray bottle. I don't have anywhere big enough to put it in a tub. Thank you, my mat definitely needs cleaning. Also how do you get cut marks out of the mat, does this washing help heal the mat.
Thank you for this! I didn't understand how much gentle soap (Ivory) to use. I had recently heard something to the effect of this procedure; very glad to have it in video form. Did the Online Video Streaming Community come up with a "recipe" for this cleaning/moisturizing of a cutting mat? Again, thanks! pj stitches!
For very large mats can I put the cleaning solution in a spray bottle, the mat on a towel, and spritz the mat, then rinse the mat in a cool shower, and air dry on a towel?
I have 2 large mats that won’t lay flat in my tub. One is 36x59 1/4” and one 24 3/4x37”. How do I clean these?
Wish you had this available as text document. I have lost more than 50% of my hearing and have found these videos are very difficult, if nnot impossible, to understand.
No audio after introduction. Do I need to pay for it?
My mat was use is an ironing board and has a warp, can cleaning and laying it flat to dry eliminate the warp?
