How do you clean the mat? Are there any types of products you shouldn't use?

I've used fantastic and windex and it hasn't had any negative impact to the tiles.

Tiles can be spot cleaned with a damp sponge or soft cloth using a mild detergent. When needed, tiles can be moped using a mild household detergent and warm water. Be sure to rinse properly and allow to dry before using. Our EVA foam flooring is non-porous so flooring will not absorb liquids. It is not recommend to use an oil based cleaner since flooring will become slippery. Mats can be vacuumed using a standard household vacuum (w/o brush). It is recommended that you test an area of the mat with the vacuum to ensure no damage due to vacuum.

We use water primarily. Have even used windex. It is easy to clean. I wouldn't suggest acetone though, it may mess it up. Ours looks fairly new even after 1 yrs. don't put it out in the sun, it will lose color.

It is a chalk like substance that you will want wipe off with a damp towel. If you just try to wipe it dry you may find a slight white residue. I sweat so much that I rinse my mat in the shower after each use so it is a non issue.

Water and a paper towel. typically there isn't much build-up on the mat unless you are using something like an Aquafor lotion. Even that just requires a wet paper towel wipe.

Yes...the mat can be wiped with a damp cloth that has a little soap if u need it and the cover can be washed in the washing machine with soap but NO fab softener. They recommend washing the cover and the bed sheet often to keep body oils from covering the little threads that make grounding possible. It is very easy to wash. U can even dry it in the dryer on low. I was a little concerned to wash mine at first but I have a tester to make sure it is still grounding and mine is still working. I've had it for over 6 months.

I also read about this scrub to cut down on the initial slipperiness. Manduka also suggests this scrub, however I chose not to use it. It really does become better the more you use it and I use mine pretty much everyday. But if Manduka is suggesting it, then I'd think it is safe for your mat. Maybe you could hang it over the shower to dry if it's too cold outside.

The most I've ever done for mine is to make sure I rinse it thoroughly with hot water after each use, making sure that all of the cleanser that I used is rinsed out completely. After that, I squeeze it and hang it to dry. I also agree with the first poster that a mild soap or vinegar should work as well. Also, something to consider is that the bristles are supposed to be naturally antimicrobial according to the company. As a side note, I've also been wondering how often the brush should be replaced if anyone has any thoughts on that.

I just use chalk you can buy at Target or Walmart. Cleans off with no problem. About once a week I clean it with a damp cloth.

Yes, no problem. The mat and cover come with washing instructions. Just no harsh detergents or bleach

When I wash my floor, I pick up the mats. I do not put them back down until the floor is throughly dry. I wipe off the mats separately.

I use it every night with a cleansing cream but I think you can use any cleansing gel or similar. I moisturize the brush, put some cleanser on the brush, use it and rinse it off.

I have not had to so far, but I would probably use either a baby wipe or wash cloth. It's a durable fabric and would clean easily.

You worry too much about a simple sink mat. I have mine for over a year and is has worked very well. Does not smell, makes marks on the sink or tears. But it without care and worry about more important accessories.

It has to be wiped with a cloth but is vinyl so cleans well. I have not attempted to clean the inside mat.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

That's an interesting question. I don't believe I was given any special cleaning instructions with the arrival of the mat. I went to their site just now and read this, "The moisture-resistant skin is easy to clean after use." It looks as though you can go to the same site http://hemingweigh.com/?p=50 and leave a comment (perhaps to be answered), or dial the phone number and inquire. Hope this helps.

Use Windex or Expo cleaner to clean the board, it takes off residue.The only mess issue we've had is that if you use too much Windex it runs down the board, which can potentially stain the carpet. Just be careful.

I use a Scotch Bright non-scratch pad and a little liquid soap. Cleans it right off.
