How Do You Clean a Cricut Mat?

Cleaning a Cricut mat is an important part of caring for the mat and ensuring it lasts for many years. The process is simple and fast, and can be completed in just a few steps.

To begin, remove any material from the mat by gently peeling it away with your hands. If you are struggling to remove some of the material, using an X-acto knife or weeding tool can help to get out any stubborn bits of material that are stuck on. Be sure to use caution when using these tools, as they can easily damage the mat.

Once all material has been removed, it is important to clean both sides of the mat with a lint roller or scotch tape. This will help to pick up any small pieces of debris left behind from cutting projects.

After lint rolling both sides of the mat, use a damp cloth to wipe down both sides and remove any leftover residue. Be sure not to saturate the cloth with too much water, as this could cause warping or staining on the Cricut Mat. After wiping down both sides with a cloth, allow it to air dry completely before using again.

Conclusion

Cleaning a Cricut Mat is easy and requires relatively few steps – simply remove any material from the mat using either your hands or an X-Acto knife/weeding tool, lint roll both sides of the mat to pick up any small pieces of debris left behind from cutting projects, and wipe down both sides with a damp cloth before allowing it to air dry completely. Following these steps will help ensure that your Cricut Mat will stay in great condition for many years!
