I use the goo gone and an old credit card. I spray the goo gone first let it sit then use the credit card to remove the paper residue stuck to the mats. They look prestien when done. I have used painters tape and vaseline around the edges to keep to edges clean. Works really well.
I got those Yudu mats too and mine were not sticky at all so I used a solution of 50% Aileen's Tack It Over & Over and 50% water before I even cut with them. I only put one light coat on the mat and it was perfect. A little goes a long way and it's very inexpensive. I also masked off my mats like you did then just used those foam brushes that Michael's always has on sale. I've used the solution to restick old mats too. I don't always remove the old adhesive but I do clean them well. I love it so much more than the Zig glue. Thanks for sharing these tips with us :).
Just a little thing I figured out. If after you clean the mat with the Awesome cleaner, blow dry with a warm blow dryer to dry it off...instant sticky. Seems to reactivate the "stick."
Or heat gun, embossing gun
Great idea and it worked beautifully! Thank you!
I have used that spray, it is great!
I used Elmer's Craft Bond, it seems to work pretty well and not real spendy. The one I bought is the 11 oz. can of spray adhesive multi-purpose temporary or permanent bond, fast tack, use on multiple surfaces. Acid free.....I got mine at Walmart, for like less then 6 bucks.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I just watched it last week and I bought the Totally Awesome. Used it today to clean my mats and it was truly AWESOME!!!! Thanks again!!
oh wow !!! its a lot easier than I thought thank you!!! I promise I will make a video when I first open it!!! hopefully it will be here by next week!!! looking forward to it !!!!
Thank you for this video. I can't believe how much I have spent on new mats. I saw another similar video using the goo gone and it made it squeaky clean. Every bit of residue came off.
For resticking my Cricut mats, I use Aleens Tack It Over. I put one part glue to one part water in a container, seal off the mat using tape, and brush the glue mixture on. My mats last a long time, the glue is cheap as a little goes a long way, and this process has been successful for me:) Thank you for your tutorial:)
That product is not sold anymore.
TheMarinemomm I was able to pick up this item yesterday at hobby lobby
Amazon sells it little over $4
Thanks for sharing that. I was using glue and water and it was quit messy. Your way is so much easier. I love all your videos and I think of you as a friend.
This is good to know. I bought the expensive stuff ( with spray glue remover and spray restick glue. I think your items work better. Thanks!
I love that Awesome cleaner. It cleans all the cups I use to melt candle wax and gel.
Thank you for sharing this tip. I am new to cricut. Just bought a cricut impression.
Thanks for the demonstration on the spray glues. I use the Tombow repositionable glue. It stays sticky for a long time.
The Awesome cleaner is great and lives up to its name. Enjoyed your vid, thank you
YOUR VIDEO SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEYYYY !!!! Thank you !!!
Thanks -- this, in the long run, will be well worth it. Thanks for "changing your mind"
--it eliminates the thoughts about the other sprays that didn't work as well as Zig

AWESOME is AWESOME!!! Great Video, Thanks for Sharing!!! I was just going to clean my mats!! Now I know how!!!!!!!
Ur lucky u have so many cartridges to choose from. I inherited my machine from my mom after she passed away. It's the older one. She only had 2 cartridges but it don't give me much to work with. If I could afford them I'd be like u. Collecting them. Ty for the video. I wondered hostage I could get my mat sticky again
Great vid! Thanks for the motivation to get my mats out and re stick them! xoxo Jen
Justin Timberlake is bringing the Sexy Back and you are bringing the sticky back. I love the noise that made when you sped it up. So funny. What great tips. I am trying to get more use out of my Cricut and videos like this are a big help. Thanks for sharing!
I just realized this is 3 years ago. Trying to watch all your videos while having insomnia 😵
Thanks Melody. I use a Crafters Companion Stick Away spray to clean my mat, & the Crafters Companion Stick & Spray to re stick it. Although it's an English company, I believe you can get it in the USA.
When in a hurry I use scotch tape to hold large card stock down. It works ok. I got this tip from another UA-cam video. Note: I like the original cricut mats better. Thanks for sharing though. I also use the two way glue when I have time..
I've found if I use the Zig Two Way works the best. I've even used some spray I got online. I can't remember the brand, but one can took off the gunk, and the second puts the sticky back on. But they never worked for me. So I always go back to the Zig. Thanks for your input. Jess
A friend of mine paints on Aileen's Repositionable liquid and uses the sponge brush.. And Making Memories make a spray for their Slice Glass Mat and I like it!!
Great information Melody. ...
I never knew the tip for using a baby wipe to clean off the lint and I will definitely try that now. My mats seem to lose their stickiness pretty fast. I also use the Crafters Companion spray to restick my mats. I don't use the Stick Away spray because the first time I tried it I had an asthma attack and couldn't breathe for 2 days. The Stick & Spray does not bother me.
I think I am going to order that big Zig glue pen. I have a small apartment so finding places to use these sprays isn't easy!

So your video shows the green standard grip cricut mats, but now that they've come out with the light grip and extra grip mats, how would you go about resticking those ?
Thank you! I am new to all of this. I was wondering what to "wash" mats with, beyond the scraper... I Did buy a set of 12x24 mats, 2 pk, on sale, and, because I don't yet do anything larger that 12x12 paper, I cut them in half, ending up with 4 regular stick and 2 strong adhesive mats for $22... I think that's a decent deal. Now, to find the zig 2-way, in the larger nozzle like you used here!! Thanks for the tips!
I love how you tested SEVERAL different types of adhesives for restoring these mats. When will you try some more products like the Aleen's Tack-iy )ver & Over again "glue"?
Thanks in advance "o)
Do you think the others would be good for the blue light grip mats?
love the sound effects! lol
I use to do all the scrubbing in my kitchen sink before resticking and I've tried spraying adhesive on them. Now I just wipe them with the baby wipe, use my heat gun to dry them and then use the zig two way glue pen and the heat gun again and I'm done in minutes. I never scrub any more and the adhesive hasn't built up on them at all. No more scrubbing for me!
Great information!!
Very helpful information,,,, TFS
Hello Mis Lane. I don’t know if I am doing this right, but here goes nothing. How do you connect the Circuit cable to a Apple iPad. Trying to help my wife get started with her new Air2.
Hi, great video! I couldn't find your verdict for the best adhesive? Would you mind posting it? Thanks!
Have you tried Dritz Spray Adhesive? It is similar to the Tailor's spray adhesive.
I've just spent the afternoon watching your videos on the the Cricut Explore, re-sticking mats, and all your adorable projects. Thanks to you I almost have myself convinced to buy the Explore. One question, do you know if the Imagine cartridges are compatible to the Explore?
Awesome process video. See you tommorow. Hope your having a super week. Hugs, susan
Thank you for your help I am re sticking now with the zig. Can I dry it faster with my heat gun or blow dryer?
I want to decorate my cricut expression but not sure what to use any suggestions?
Hi Melody, Great video, I have never tried baby wipes on my mats, I only have the 2 mats that came with the machine, I think they are very expensive for what they are, One mat I only used once and I used glitter card on it and after that it was ruined, Nothing else would stick to it, Even tho you can't see any glitter or anything on the mat, I will have to get one of those zig pens, Thanks for the tip, Hugs Rosemary =D
***** Thanks Melody, I didn't know any of this, I will give it a try, Hugs Rosemary =D
thanks for the video I need to restick my scanNcut
Darleen I've listed what I use in the comments below (10/21/15). I hope they are helpful. I didn't realize the request already came from Melody's video, so sorry for the confusion of pointing people back to her. The question came up ob google with no direct tie to Melody. I hope this helps. There are many options for resticking the mats, I choose the spray because its quick and easy for me. I bought my spray from a store out of business , but I do remember that Bee Creative.com sells the spray. Ek success big stick is sold at M's, J's and HL for convenience. Good luck.
I am an Awesome cleaner lover to. That stuff will clean anything but never ever put it on paint it will eat the paint right off. I even used it on my door my son long time ago stamped my bathroom door when he got mad at me and it came right off. LOL, he got lucky.

Hi there Melody, could you tell me what tools come with the Cricut Maker? I just bought one on HSN and someone said there’s a big sale going on right now if I haven’t already missed it... I would like to make sure I have one of all the blades and mats that it uses. Thank you!
Why not use the zig pen? I've heard that the spray adhesives will gradually build up on the rollers.
OOPS, sry, thought I did. I see now....sry
What different spray do you use for the strong and light mats?
Will any brand of Babywipe do?
Do you have any suggestion for making the mat covers to protect the mats?
Try overhead projector clear film...at the office supply store.
Any time Melody. How can I join in the Q & A part of the Hangouts on Monday? When I click on the Q&A button, it just takes me to other peoples questions. It won't let me leave a question :-/
I used Awesome and it totally stripped my mat of all it's stickiness. I can't believe you all are saying that Awesome will make it sticky again!
I used this method and when I went to reuse my mat it was so sticky that the vinyl backing wouldn't come off the mat I had to scrub so hard I ripped the mat, has this happened to you??
I saw on my Instagram account that there was going to be a giveaway salmon for a heat press for adhesive vinyl. So I came and subscribed. But I cannot figure out how to get notifications of new posts. How will I be contacted when I win? TR
I bought a spray can of Tacky Spray. Can that be used to make mats sticky again. I had to use it VERY lightly.
did it work?
How long do you wait before putting clear cover sheet on?
@@melodylane Thank you... I need to find that glue like asap.
I cleaned my silhouette mat with awesome and it took all of my sticky off , not sticky anymore, so how do I re stick it again
Latasha Woodral like she demonstrated use spray adhesive
howOW LONG WILL YOU BE ABLE TO USE THEM (STICKYNESS) ADTER YOU USE THE AWSOME>
To those who asked the question how long will your mats last if you restick them? They last for years. I'm still using my first mats from my E when they first came out 12 x 12 and 12 x 24. I've saved a lot.
+amb7412 can I ask what you used to 'restick' your mats?
I use International Stick and Spray (repositionable adhesive). I have used EK Success big stick in the past , but I like this spray better. I believe Bee Creative sell it. Good luck.
Also check out Melody Lane on youtube for cricut she gives ideas about saving the mats and what she uses. She's great.
SPATCHYEWLUUUURRRRRR 😭
use benzene next time.
Love your videos!! I use
Crafter's Companion they sell 3 sprays 1 to remove stick 1 to restick.. And a permanent so be careful not to buy the permanent lol! But I absolutely LOVE it!! I get mine from www.customcrops.com
XO!
Thanks for the demonstration on the spray glues. I use the Tombow repositionable glue. It stays sticky for a long time.
