Hi everyone! When it comes to our Cricut die cutting machine, we get asked one particular question ALL THE TIME. Since so many of you are wanting to know, we decided that it was about time we provide you with an answer!
That question is: How do you clean and re-stick your Cricut Cutting Mats?
Let me begin by saying that Cricut doesn’t recommend cleaning your mats. It’s important to remember that before you take our advice here. That being said, we use this technique all the time and have never had a problem.
Cleaning your mats will help you save a little money and get a longer life out of your mats before having to replace them.
