Professional Maintenance for Maximum Grip
To ensure your mats remain effective for hundreds of cuts, always keep the clear film cover in place when the mat is not in use. This prevents ambient dust and South African environmental debris from degrading the adhesive. For cleaning, simply use a scraper to remove excess scraps and occasionally wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth. These mats are the ideal interface for precise cutting, making it easy to cleanly remove finished pieces without damaging the media or the mat surface.
Note: For the best results, use the recommended grip strength for each material type as suggested in the Cricut Design Space app.
