HOW TO CLEAN CRICUT CUTTING MATS | quick and easy!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2022
- I forgot to mention that you want them to air dry only! If you use a towel the fibers will get stuck on the mat and you may have to wash them again.
Today is just a very quick tip on how I wash my cutting mats. My mats last me about a year and I wash them about twice in that year. Now I do find that they will lose that sticky backing after washing them so many times and that is when I will go out and buy new. But before I knew you could wash them I went from buying mats every few months to only once a year. So washing them will definitely save you a little money.
Thank you Amy for this week's question!

I've cleaned mine (never used Dawn, but will now) tape the edges off and use spray glue (can't remember the name.) I use it lightly. After it dries, I remove the tape. I use a towel or t-shirt to take some of the stickiness off.... Works like a brand new mat. Thank you for sharing this Sandy... Merry Christmas to you and your family 🙂
I’ll have to try that out! Thank you Fawn! I hope you have a Merry Christmas as well 💖
What a great, easy tip to clean up mats! Thanks for sharing.
Thank yoooouuuu so much for this! My mats are horrendous 😂 I thought I had to buy new ones 😅Can’t wait for my break next week to get them cleaned up and my craft room too 😊stay blessed love 🥰
Thank you so much for this! I thought I had ruined them! I’ve only used them a couple of times. You’re a lifesaver!
I love watching your videos. My husband always ask me to turn on one of "giggles" videos. He love to hear you laugh. I had about 5 mats that I was just about to throw away because they wasn't sticking anymore. Needless to say, I ran to the kitchen and follow your every step. I'm good to go now. Thank you so much
🤣 🥰 tell your husband this made me giggle reading it! So happy this helped 🤗
Thank you for making this video! I have about 5 to 6 that needs to be cleaned, but I wasn't sure how to. Now I know!!! 🥰
You’re very welcome! 🤗💖
Thank you Sandy 😊 this was super helpful.
My son kindly bought me back some Dawn when he visited the US as we cant get it here in Australia and now you have given me another use for it. Yay !! I’ll give it a try,
That is so awesome!
Thank you so much! I followed your advice to clean my cutter mat and it's like new again!

Thank you! It’s definitely time to clean my mats!!
Thanks Sandy! Much appreciated!
Oh Thank you! Mine needs it so bad! Gonna do tomorrow!❤️❤️
Thank you! I have some mats that are just a few months old that need a good cleaning. I have one to resticky but I’m so not up to try that big job yet.
Hi, Sandy. I did this after watching your video the other day and my mats are like new again. Thanks!
That makes me so happy!

Thank you for sharing this. I was wondering how to clean them was fixing to go and buy more now I don't have to. Thank you again
Thank you so much! I was afraid that it wouldn't work on my inexpensive non-Cricut mat, but tried anyway. Wow! It's like having a brand new mat!
So happy it helped you! 💖
Thank you so much I will definitely be trying this
Omg how amazing thank you so much for this! I was shocked cuz it was on a random day!
Thank you! This was so helpful!
Oh thank you! Last night I realized I will have to clean my mat (finally).
This was awesome!!! Thank you!

Omg great tip thank you 🙏🏼

How do you clean you epoxy cups & stir sticks etc. after use. I am ❤ your channel!
THANK YOU! I am finally cleaning my mats today cuz im so sick of taping my cardstock down haha
Thanks. Very helpful. ❤
Thank you!🎄⛄️🎅🏼❄️
Thank you. I guess I need to get to work and try this. I have a bunch to do. Thank you for the awesome hack. ❤
You’re very welcome!
I was just trying to fine out how to do that .thank you .
Thank you very helpful
Thank you!
Great video... thank you😊
I used Vibrant Life paw cleaning wipes for dogs, it takes two minutes to do a matt and when they dry they work great again.
Thank you, keep winning
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Great video
Amazing.
You are my hero.
Thank you, I was stuck with dirty mats, tried baby wipes but did not help much. I used sunlight dish soap which is readily available in my country and it worked wonders as you have demonstrated.
So happy this helped you!
Thanks Sandy! Tack It Over and Over has been touted as restoring stickiness. They say to mask off the edges where there’s no grid lines, paint a THIN layer on it, and let it dry. Haven’t tried it, but will when I need to. Merry Christmas!
I haven’t heard of that! I’ll have to try it out next time. I hope you have a Merry Christmas as well. 💖
Can you stay who "they" are? Or where you've seen this? I would love to try it too, cause gee that sounds too easy. Might take a mat and give it a try. Ya know I was about to throw out my mats anyways.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
@@amyaustin513 there are a few videos on resticking mats here on UA-cam. A couple do suggest tack it. But this cleaning tutorial is the best yet.
Thanks for that reminder. This is the best video I’ve seen for cleaning mats for sure.
I would love tutorials on how to organize all the craft stuff lol
Me too
Thanks sandy
You’re very welcome 🤗💖
I did this and now my mat isnt sticking anymore 😞i washed it very gently and let it air dry, it was a brand new one too but didnt stick that well anymore after a few uses (light grip)
OMG THIS WORKS
So I don't have to use anything to make my mat sticky again? Just wash and it's good to go for the rest of the year?
I heard you can use a heat gun to help restore the stickiness. I will try when I clean my mats next time..
Hey Thanks Sandy... I heard you say something about it and it dawned on me, pun intended, lol. That I haven't ever seen a video of you washing mats... So I asked you about it. YOU'RE AWESOME!!! I've not seen Dawn PW being used for this. So great.
Thank you for the question! I hope this helps! 🤗💖
THANKS A BUNCH!
I used Dawn Powerwash and it took the colors off the mat too!!
Yeah that stuff is super strong, I'd just use regular Dawn
Why do people throw away the clear mat cover? Never store those mats without the clear cover…
He he he.... I have kitten toe beans on mine..... lol
How many times you think you can clean a mat until the tack wears off?
this threw me off. I had to check my calendar to make sure I knew what day it was lmao. I should probably clean my mats too as I have to tape my projects to them lol
🤣 I knew that would happen! I used to do the same! That’s when I knew it was time lol
This isn’t on a video that I can’t find. But do you know how I can’t the yellow off my cricut? It was stored in a room that doesn’t get light, but somehow it turned from a light pink to a yellow
Can you do this with the strong grip and fabric ones too?
I have done it with the strong grip, so I assume you could with the fabric mats as well 🤗💖
Thank you. I tried baby wipes but they didn’t work. I’ll try this
I hope this helps!
You said to only do this once or twice, so can you tell us about how long you can go without having to wash them for the second time?
It really depends on how often it is used. The more it’s used the more prone to buildup making it not stick anymore. Before I started washing my mats I would need to buy new once a month. Now I go every six months or more before I feel like I need to purchase a new one. I hope that helps! 💖
I almost dump 3 of them thank u!
Still have the ones from this video. Almost time to clean them again, but still working fine!
@@SandysOrganizedChaos I do air brushing on motorcycles sometimes I do my stencils there and always get dirty.
Scotch tape?
Don’t you put the plastic cover back on? I was told to always keep the plastic cover on when not using it. But thanks for the tutorial
The dirtiness comes from the use of materials not because the cover not on
@@brendawilliams50 dust accumulates and will stick to the surface of the mat.
That is true, however, the need for cleaning is a result of factors more than dust.
DO NOT DO THIS ON A SILHOUETTE MAT. They aren't the same. I just ruined mine 😬
u are so beautiful, thanks
Thank you for sharing!!!
You’re very welcome! 💖
