Are there any special cleaning instructions? Saw a mat that had to be washed &amp; hung out to dry. Current circumstances don't allow for that.

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.

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

I shake it out. If there is anything left on it, then I just wipe with a wet paper towel. I have also vacuumed mine if the bag on the vacuum is ready to be changed. I have had mine since October and it shows no wear at all.

I don't clean it - but I would suspect a warm wash cloth could be used to wipe any stains on it or give it a quick refresher. There are leather fasteners on it so it could not be washed in a normal way.

The water drains off the mat and ends up underneath it, mine does the same and i just hang it over the sink at the end of the day to let it dry overnight and that way mine never gets slimy or mouldy on the bottom.

That is the big issue. Have not washed it yet. But sooo big will have to use a dry cleaners as there machines are bigger. Open question to really find out. Think this is my only down fall but other than that love it.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

After allowing mat to cool thoroughly...I washed it in warm soapy water. I reused it the next day..and it preformed as before. I love the grill mats...especially for fish and seafood.

I live in a highrise and it is really difficult. This may sound gross but when I didn't have a washer and dryer the only thing i could do was put vinegar in my dishwasher and wash it on the top rack. after i washed it i put bleach in my dishwasher and ran an empty load. With a washer and dryer i like to fold it so the white part it out and put vinegar in the dishwasher i will let it sit in there for about an hour. I would put bleach in the bleach loader and wash it on the slowest gentlest cycle. This removed 100% of the odor. I still have to replace the mat once a year or so.

Yes...just as well, I feel. However, recently, I have noticed the mat develops a stain (mold?) over a few months. That is with regular washing and drying. I live in a very dry climate, yet the dark marks are definitely a mold...not good.

I find the mat to be easy to care for. Most days I just sweep it off when I am sweeping the kitchen floor. If something would happen to get spilled on it, I just wipe it off with a damp rag. I would never consider laundering it. It is so easy to care for it with a damp rag.

Just wash and dry with sheets or towels. No special instructions. The cotton side has shrunk a little, so it doesn't lay as flat as it used to, but that's no biggie.

First, I sweep off any dust particles or crumbs then, I use a light warm damp cloth to clean the mat. If you choose a lighter colored mat (I have dark brown), then you may have to be careful what type of cleaner in case any coloring gets on mat. Otherwise, water and cloth or sponge is best way to go.

its not a machine, its just a mat, and its not easily washable, just spray it with febreze if it gets nasty

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

I let it dry, then use a stiff bristle brush to clean it.After that, I run it thru my washer with light detergent on a gentle cycle and let it air dry.
